Fulcrum Sharq 42/47 disc AFS wheelset 2-Way Fit

Sharq was developed to enhance the riding experience on mixed surfaces, from asphalt to gravel tracks. The wheelset is the result of intensive development work, advanced engineering, and extensive design and testing processes to achieve the best possible performance. We control the production process 100 percent. All components are manufactured in Europe and assembled in our own factories.

The new Sharq features an internal rim width of 25 mm, an optimal compromise for both road tires of at least 30 mm width, guaranteeing good aerodynamics and low rolling resistance, and wider knobby tires, providing secure grip on rough terrain. To ensure the rim can be used with both tubeless systems and tubes, it is equipped with mini-hooks that guarantee maximum safety. As is typical for Fulcrum, the rim bed is not drilled, making it tubeless-ready without the need for additional rim tape.



2-Way Fit Wire and Tubeless Tire Profile
The tubeless technology was first applied in the automotive sector, then in motorcycles, and finally in cycling. After establishing itself in the MTB world, the time has come for its use on the road:
And we offer this to you now! We developed the 2-Way Fit technology to ensure the perfect compatibility of our tubeless rims with standard wire tires and tubes. 2-Way Fit wheels are highly versatile and perfectly suited for any situation.

Thanks to a special marking in the valve area, the tubes are mounted with high precision, and the tube remains securely stabilized in the wire tire. The tubeless valve can also be safely installed, ensuring that no air escapes due to improper positioning.

USB - Ceramic Ultra Smooth Bearings
Fulcrum has always been respected for the extremely high smoothness and reliability of its hubs.
These qualities are due to all projects being developed in the R&D department, where meticulous attention is given to every detail.
The hubs with USB (Ultra Smooth Bearings) ceramic bearings further increase the smoothness of the wheels, reduce weight, and lower maintenance needs.

2:1 Two-to-One Spoke Ratio - Disc Brake
When the rider pedals with full power, the rotation of the sprocket set causes a flexing of the spokes on the freewheel side, leading to a subsequent loss of tension in the rim. This results in excessive bending of the whole structure, inevitably causing a loss of energy.

Fulcrum solved this classic cycling problem with its 2:1 Two-to-One Spoke Ratio patent, doubling the number of spokes in critical areas.

MoMag
A magnet and a lot of know-how – this is how the patented "Mounting Magnet" system, known as MoMag, was created.

F.I.C. Fulcrum Identification Card - 100% HANDMADE QUALITY
Since its foundation, Fulcrum has distinguished itself through a continuous approach: the design, prototype development, and industrialization of all wheels with the red "F". Every single wheel component, the carefully selected materials, and the technologies used are the tangible result of Fulcrum's daily efforts to provide you with the highest performance and reliability.

Undrilled Rim Bed
The absence of holes in the inner rim bed is synonymous with a homogeneous product in all its points, without critical stress points.
The advantages are immediately noticeable: lower weight, longer rim durability, greater fatigue resistance, the possibility of higher spoke tension, and greater stiffness, resulting in more responsiveness and acceleration performance.
