Fulcrum Racing 5 Clincher Wheelset

Racing 5 wheels are designed to be used on a daily basis and for training purposes. An great product offered by Fulcrum® that guarantees an excellent performance/price ratio. The hubs are oversized and provided with flanges for blade hammer-head spokes. Smoothness is ensured by sealed high-quality bearings and they have a new single-piece body which incorporates the freewheel body and pawl carrier in a single component with a considerable reduction of weight.

The spokes have blade hammer-heads of the Aero type and differentiated thickness, 20 in the front wheel and 24 in the rear wheel. There is radial spoking for the front wheel and the patented Fulcrum® 2:1 Two-to-One™ Spoke Ratio for the rear wheel. Also unchanged is the presence of Dynamic Balance™ which, thanks to two oversized spokes, balances the concentration of the rim joint material during wheel rotation.

The rim is a medium-sectioned one with a height of 24 mm with reinforcing eyelets for the spokes and turned braking surfaces. The new Racing 5 wheels have a deeper upper bridge of the rim to facilitate clincher tyre fitting.
