Campagnolo Zonda or Fulcrum Racing 3

DKmac · 27-08-2015 04:15PM #1

Was looking at a new wheels and had all but settled on Fulcrum Racing 3 but now I've spotted some sites saying these are essentially the same as campagnolo zonda. The Zondas are cheaper so can anyone tell me why I'd get the Fulcrum racing 3 instead? Is there a difference?

I have both and apart from the Fulcrums looking slightly better, I don't notice any difference.

Are they not the same wheel, just branded differently?

They are the same wheel but the one's with Campagnolo written on them go slightly faster.

The campags also have the G3 spoke arrangement on the rear wheel and black hubs. The Fulcrum 3's have white hubs which look terrible IMO especially on the black/dark bike.

I have both Zondas and Racing 3s. As far as I can tell, they are the same.
I prefer the black hubs on the Zondas.
The Zondas are cheaper.
Obviously, being Campagnolos, the Zondas will make you a better person and more attractive to the opposite sex.

That's why I said the Fulcrums look better! (Have them on a white bike).

I have had both. They are essentially the same wheel, other than the spoke pattern on the rear wheel.

I have weighed them both and the Zondas come in below the advertised weight while the fulcrums were heavier!
