[ 2-Wave Rim:
an exclusive combination of waves
The new design of the rim (patent pending) is the result of an experimental process where we analysed the reactions of different solutions to head and side winds, which affect handling and aerodynamics.
Aerodynamic advantages

→_ new A3RO spokes
SHARQ is revolutionary but at the same time traditional. This new wheel fully embraces Fulcrum’s philosophy, as well as our commitment to deliver exclusive technologies and specific products to provide riders with the finest ride feel and top level performance.
With this in mind, to increase the performance of SHARQ, we have developed A3RO, a new flat steel spoke, 3 mm wide and 0.8 mm thick, which provides considerable aerodynamic advantages. We have also revised the hub-spoke interface. The hole has two additional gaps paired with a specific flattening of the base of the spoke, so that it can remain aligned and not rotate, guaranteeing a constant aerodynamic support.
The spokes never touch each other (no-touching spokes), ensuring that they maintain their long term tension and therefore provide the same level of performance throughout the life of the product, without the need for any mechanical interventions to remedy any losses in tension.
The design of the hub follows the minimalist lines seen on the Speed wheels, with Cup & Cone technology. The bearings used are USB™ ceramic ball bearings, rolling on through axles with adjustment ring, to achieve an extremely precise preload and maximum smoothness.
Excellence ]
+ achieved
SHARQ is able to cross all types of terrain, from tarmac to gravel, with confidence and speed. It is easy to handle in all conditions, even strong side winds, marrying levels of aerodynamics and reactivity on a par with the fastest road wheels, with the ability to resist strong impacts and absorb rough terrain like the best gravel wheels.
Category ASTM 2.
The latest member of the range is the result of a research and development process that required more than 4000 hours of design, laboratory tests and field trials. Most of the SHARQ components, similarly to our other wheels, are manufactured in-house. For the external parts we call upon a certified network of European partners that guarantee production thoroughness and social responsibility. This allows us to work with extreme precision, offering a product that can truly make the difference, with advantages that can be felt right from the first pedal stroke, for the perfect ride feel.
