According to the product specialist

Pros
These mid-height Fulcrum Racing 4 wheels offer more rigidity than the Fulcrum Racing 3 wheels.
Good power transmission thanks to the high flange and shorter spokes in the rear wheel.
Reduced risk of spoke fractures or blows in the wheels and therefore suitable for heavier riders with power in the legs.
The rim width of 17 mm makes it possible to fit tires of 25 mm or wider for more comfort.
The 35 mm high rim and flat spokes give you an aerodynamic advantage and increased stability in crosswinds.
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!
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.
Cons
The weight, on the other hand, is slightly higher compared to the Fulcrum Racing 3.
Not suitable for tubeless riding.
This wheelset's code doesn't immediately indicate Ultegra, but its quality is at Ultegra level.
The larger distance between the individual spokes makes it harder to true the wheel.
