The Fulcrum Sharq are carbon wheels designed to deliver high performance on mixed terrain, from asphalt to gravel roads. The result of careful research, advanced technologies, and extensive development testing, they combine aerodynamics, versatility, and reliability to support cyclists on a variety of terrains. The entire production process is characterized by a 100% controlled supply chain, with components manufactured in Europe and assembled in Fulcrum’s own factories.
The 25 mm internal rim channel is designed to accommodate tires starting at 30 mm, promoting aerodynamic efficiency and low rolling resistance on the road, while also ensuring optimal support for wider, knobby tires for off-road use. The carbon rim, featuring mini-hook technology, ensures secure mounting with both tubeless and tube-type tires. Thanks to the solid rim bridge, the system is native tubeless and does not require the application of sealant tape.
