Strengths: Light. Stiff fast. Solid excellent value have two setsWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Fantastic wheelset, bought my first set 3 years ago have never had an issue, run true, fast wheels and solid. I weigh 95kegs so they have stood the test of time. Bought another set on special for race day but still haven't taken out of the box, no need as original still great training or racing.Best wheelset at this price bracket I have used.

Strengths: Look kinda cool, stiff, quiet.Weaknesses: Customer service dept does not exist. Weekest rim on the planet. 3 rides and my wheel was toast. The wheel is shaved so thin to save weight between the spokes it is prone to damage.Bottom Line: This is the first bad review I have ever written. If you think Mavic has bad service it can get a whole lot worse. If they come on my bike fine but pay money for Fulcrums, never.
I have had pretty good service from Mavic.

Strengths: Strong rims & easy to handle over bumps.Weaknesses: Not value for money, heavy in usage, too much drag & slow wheels.Bottom Line: I have many wheelset namely:-
1. Mavic cp 2
2. Mavic cosmic carbonate SL 50mm
3. Campagnolo Khamshin.
4. Fulcrum racing 3
5. Fulcrum racing 1
6. Torken carbon 80mm
7. Shimano dura ace c50
8. Alayah tubeless
9. 3 more sets shimano of forgotten names since 80s
I found the fulcrum racing 1 is heavy in use, somehow the wheel give lots of resistance
while riding. My fulcrum racing 3 which is lower grade seems to perform better,
Of all the wheelset I have herein mentioned which is still in usage, I found that the
Shimano dura ace c50 is the best. It's feel fast, light & keep rolling. No side wind effects felt as compared to my mavic cosmic SL carbonate which give some hollow wind drag too.
Fulcrum wheel has got weak hubs & not as tough as my shimano hub.
Generally, shimano's wheels still perform well even the advisement isn't as much compared to other brands.
These are my personal experiences & views, I am a neutral end user/ cyclist, I owned 10 road bikes & ride one each day to give such views.

$1200.00

Strengths: These wheels are way over priced for what you get. For get it.Weaknesses: Hub is very poorly made. My hub failed while sitting in the garage.Bottom Line: Bottom line is Fulcrum would stand behind their wheel. I was told I could pay for a replacment. Are you kidding. I will never ride fulcrum products again. Very poor quality. Stay away!!!!

Strengths: beautifully made - light, spin up nicely - stiff
string wheel - short of a dented rim when i had to do a emergency jump on a high sidewalk, when a car cut me off -
replacement rim was priceyWeaknesses: once in a while freewheel mechanism slipped from day one - brought it into shop to clean and oil - still has that issue
- Fulcrum says it needs a new freewheel spring - will look into that... but for a 1k set of wheels - that is highly annoyingBottom Line: overall i love those wheels - light, very stiff and absolutely gorgeous
fit & finish is really nice -
only bummer is the freewheel issue - and that is a major issue
