Fulcrum is a subsidiary brand of Campagnolo that produces Alloy and Carbon wheels for road and mountain bikes. Initially developed so that Campagnolo could produce wheels compatible with brake and drive systems by Shimano and SRAM, allowing Campagnolo to retain its exclusivity. However Fulcrum still produce Campagnolo-compatible wheels.
While the Fulcrum Racing 3 DB can certainly be used for pure road racing, it excels in road endurance and gravel, making it an extremely versatile all-around wheel. Performance does not always require rigidity and for endurance or gravel scenarios a more comfortable and compliant wheelset translates to better riding. The Racing 3 DB’s construction allows it to be 25% more comfortable than the pure road racing specific Racing Zero for example.
Lower tyre pressures, bigger tyre dimensions, better grip, wider rim structure, increased comfort and better braking make for a long list of advantages that only a performance wheelset can bestow upon ride quality. The criteria for performance around this very versatile wheelset might be different but there is no denying that it is performance oriented but with a valuable dose of extreme versatility included. There are few better choices for the cyclist looking for the right tool for the job. The 1660 gram Racing 3 DB is the right tool for many different jobs.
