According to the product specialist

Pros
The Racing 3 has been labelled as the wheel with the best value for money for years now.
These wheels can be used all-round due to their low weight, good spoke tension and wider rims.
Reliable well sealed and adjustable bearings that ensure good performance for a long time.
The wheels look good on almost any road bike.
Multi-purpose: from training to racing, for hilly areas to flat roads.
The low weight of 1595 grams offers numerous advantages, such as easier acceleration after a turn and faster uphill riding.
Excellent all-round wheelset because of their balance between rigidity, weight, and rim depth.
Good power transfer thanks to the G3 spoke pattern, the high flange and shorter spokes in the rear wheel.
These wheels are very popular because of their extremely interesting price/performance ratio and are the counterpart to the Fulcrum Racing 3 at a more interesting price level.
Multi-purpose from training to racing, both in hilly terrain and on flat roads.
Ultegra's level of quality is well known, as you can see in these wheels: reliable bearings, straightpull spokes, lightweight.
These bearings are easy to maintain thanks to the smoothly running cup-conus system. Runs fantastically and is more durable than industrial bearings.
Can be used with tubes and tubeless!
Cons
The only thing these wheels lack are good aerodynamics.
Not compatible with tubeless tyres.
The larger distance between the individual spokes makes it harder to true the wheel.
This wheelset's code doesn't immediately indicate Ultegra, but its quality is at Ultegra level.
