Fulcrum Racing 3 DB Road Wheel Set 28" 12×100/12x142mm XDR 11/12-speed Disc CL Clincher TL Black

When do you get used to counting tens of thousands of kilometres? How often do you think of a wheelset that is suitable for everything, optimal for winter, agile and powerful uphill, without limitations when the road is not easy to ride, reliable and ready when all you have to think about is training, a faithful companion when the goal is big mountain passes, long distances and great adventures?

Racing 3 DB is a condensate of technology designed to push the performance envelope in a wide variety of situations, setting a new standard for satisfaction and reliability.

It’s not a wheelset for road bikes and gravel bikes designed to impress, you might say. Fulcrum’s R&D department has focused on substance, taking everything to a higher level, selecting the most balanced and advanced technical solution for each basic component…. Are we sure that once you’re on the road, you won’t be truly amazed?

Extremely smooth running thanks to the plain and conical bearing system, comfortable thanks to steel spokes that ensure 25% more absorption capacity than the Racing Zero, which is more suited to racing. The 19 mm wide rim channel also ensures a wide, solid and stable support.

“Versatility” for Racing 3 DB means making a difference in the same way in different contexts: as a training wheel, on long distances, on gravel. For those who experience the bike without competition goals, this can be a first-class upgrade.
Beautiful, refined, built with attention to detail, with milling – R2-Milling. Designed to combine design and high tech. Versatile, distinctive: a Fulcrum icon.

2-Way Fit
Tubeless technology was first applied to the automotive sector, then to motorbikes and finally to cycle racing. After entering the MTB world, the moment has now come for its use on the road: And that’s what they offer you now! They have developed the 2-Way Fit technology to guarantee the perfect compatibility of tubeless rims also with normal clincher tyres and tubes. 2-Way Fit wheels are particularly versatile and therefore perfectly suited to any situation.

RDB Rim dynamic Balance
The concept is simple and ingenious: balance the mass of the rim joint with an equal-value mass positioned exactly opposite.

2:1 TWO-TO-ONE SPOKE RATIO – Disc Brake
At the moment the rider pedals at full power, the rotation of the sprocket set causes the spokes to yield at the freewheel, resulting in a loss of tension in the rim. This causes excessive bending of the whole and this inevitably means a loss of energy. 
Fulcrum has solved this classic problem in cycling with its patent 2:1 Two-to-One Spoke Ratio, that is, by doubling the number of spokes in the critical areas.

MOMAG
What is MoMag? A magnet and a lot of expertise. This is how the patent of the tested “Mounting Magnet” system, i.e. MoMag, was born.

Anti-Rotation System
This new system takes the concept of the lacing system to a new level of performance.
Fulcrum’s technicians have redesigned the spokes and the hub shells to create a solid and solid unit. In this way, the spokes
a) they never lose their initial tension, keeping the wheel perfectly responsive and centred, and
b) that they remain in the position developed in the wind tunnel to ensure the best possible aerodynamics.

Wide Rim Tech
The Fulcrum R+D department, following the requests of the racing teams, worked to create rims with a greater width in relation to the past, starting from about 4 mm more than the previous ones. This technical choice makes it possible to offer the ideal support base for 25/28 mm tyres, the preferred sizes today. In this way, stability, optimal handling and high comfort are guaranteed.

Cup & Cone
The cup & cone bearing differs from the classic cartridge bearings in that it works in perfect alignment with the corresponding forces, weight and thrusts coming from the frame, since the balls run on a groove positioned in direct opposition to these forces.
