Fulcrum Racing 5 DB C20 Road Wheelset 28" 12×100/12x142mm XDR 11/12-speed Disc CL Clincher TLR Black

The new Racing 5 DB wheels are the perfect choice for endurance racing wheels. The rims with their low 24 mm U-profile provide less air resistance and increased stiffness, thus saving energy and improving comfort. This makes them ideally equipped for long rides and crisp climbs without having to worry about rain or wind.

The internal dimension of the aluminium rim has been increased to 20 mm (the previous model had 17 mm) and the rim now offers the innovative 2-Way Fit system, so tyres with 25-28 mm now fit perfectly, whether clincher or tubeless tyres (tubeless tape is factory-fitted and valves are included).

As with the new Racing DB 4, the look has been upgraded with new laser-etched graphics to ensure the longevity of this striking design.

ANTI-ROTATION SYSTEM
This new system takes the concept of the lacing system to a new level of performance. Fulcrum’s engineers have redesigned the spokes and hub shells to create a strong 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.

F.I.C. FULCRUM IDENTIFICATION CARD – 100% HANDMADE QUALITY
Fulcrum, since its creation, has been characterised by an approach that continues to this day: Design, prototyping and industrialisation of all wheels with the red “F”. Every single wheel component, the materials selected and the technologies used are the tangible result of the efforts Fulcrum makes every day to offer you the highest performance and reliability.

ASYMMETRIC RIM
The rim asymmetry is designed to improve the tension of the rim while balancing the forces coming from the brakes and the sprocket set.
