Fulcrum Racing 5 DB Road Wheelset – Black

The new Racing 5 DB wheels are the perfect choice for endurance bikes. The lower aerodynamic resistance and decreased stiffness, achieved with the lower 24 mm U-shaped profile, makes them the ideal technical choice for long rides without having to worry about climbing, rain or wind, with a consequent saving in energy and increased comfort.

In this case, the aluminium rim has seen an increase in the inner channel width, up to 20 mm from the previous model’s 17 mm, and the addition of the innovative 2 Way Fit system, to comfortably fit 25-28 mm tyres, both clinchers and tubeless (tubeless tape installed and valves included).

The aesthetics have undergone the same intervention as the Racing 4 DB model, with the new laser-etched graphics, ensuring the long life of their striking design.

Technologies:

ANTI-ROTATION SYSTEM™
This new system raises the concept of spoking to a new level of performance for road bike and triathlon wheels ( and Mtb too)
The Fulcrum® engineers have redesigned the spokes and the hub housings to create a solid and unmoveable whole. The result is that the spokes

a) will never lose their initial tension, thus keeping the wheel perfectly reactive and centred
b) will remain in the position that has been studied in the wind tunnel tests to ensure the best aerodynamic penetration possible.

F.I.C. FULCRUM IDENTIFICATION CARD – 100% HANDMADE QUALITY
Right from its inception, Fulcrum® has been marked by the feature that continues to this day: that is to design, prototype and industrialise all the wheels characterised by the red “F”.

Indeed these take shape inside of the R&D, the leading-edge department that represents the beating heart of the Italian company. Every single component of the wheel, the materials chosen and the technologies applied are the tangible result of the effort that Fulcrum® makes every day to give you maximum performance and reliability.

TRACEABILITY

A guarantee of quality

The keyword for our products is traceable.

If you find a little label attached to any Fulcrum® product, do not remove it. It will provide you with a guarantee in case of an ascertained defectiveness of a production batch, and so the component needed or wheel will be traceable.

All this because, devoted to its mission, Fulcrum® demands absolute perfection and safety for its customers.

AFS AXLE SYSTEM™
The Axial Fixing System™ is the solution developed by Fulcrum® to fix the disc brake to the hub. The constraint granted by the butt area of the release mechanism, greater than in familiar standard ones, makes it possible to obtain greater structural rigidity and therefore more precise and powerful braking.

ASYMMETRIC RIM
The asymmetry is designed to improve rim tension, balancing the forces from brakes and sprocket cassette.

2WAY – FIT™ READY (ROAD)
It shall be the end user’s sole and full responsibility to choose – on a case by case basis – an adequate and correct rim-tire-pressure combination, as well as to conduct all verifications necessary to ascertain the correctness and safety of such combination.

Without prejudice to the above, and in order to ensure optimum rolling resistance, grip and, most importantly, safety, we recommend that the end-user, in making his choice, also takes into consideration the recommended combinations of hooked rim width, tire width and tire pressure indicated in the chart set forth below.

Due to safety reasons, follow the information of the tire manufacturer regarding minimum and maximum rim width to be used but always ensure that the combination is listed as possible in this table.
