Strengths: Light
Gorgeous
Aero-very fast
Outstanding qualityWeaknesses: ExpensiveBottom Line: XLR. Very similar to the Bora 2. Extremely light, outstanding quality, wheels spin forever. Immediately noticed at least a 2km an hour increase in speed compared to my Campy Eurus 2 Way Fits. Certainly stiffer than my Eurus but the tubulars seem to soak up road vibration very well. Can't wait to race these. Very light. Front hub bearing needs to be tightened.

Strengths: Stiff, fast, smooth, and light. Best of all, they're very SEXY looking!Weaknesses: Price is high. But what you pay is what you get!Bottom Line: Before Fulcrum becoming a brand, I always wanted to get Bora Ultra for my Shimano System. As soon as I found Fulcrum Speed is the cousin of Bora Ultra and comes with Shimano cassette body, there was no question that I was going to get them. At 1300g, this is a dream wheelset for TT and road racing-stiff, light, and fast! Now I've installed ceramic bearing and they're so smooth.....I LOVE THIS WHEELSET! Did I mention they're the most sexy wheelset in the market? Because there is clear coat over the carbon, the reflection is almost like an mirror. Compare to Bora Ultra which is a bit flat finish(w/o clear coat). Even though cost is bit high, you won't regret it after using them.

Strengths: Light (very light)
Aero
Great Acceleration
Good for TTs and Climbing
Track well on high-speed descents
Look sexy
Weaknesses: Price is the only weakness I can think of, but I do recommend them if you can afford the $$. Expensive but I gurantee that you WILL go fasterBottom Line: I bought these for a 4-day stage race in Thailand to replace my Corima carbon wheels.
They are stiff yet light and look great. The first time I rode them I was impressed with the way they accelerated (even out of my driveway).
When you get them up to speed, they just seem to keep going. They are great for soloing away as well as jumping and getting you into that breakaway.
They have to be the best "investment" i have made for my bike - a definite and highly noticable improvement.
