Description
SHARQ is the latest creation of the Fulcrum Red Room Lab, with a design that enhancesthe cycling experience on mixed routes, both on asphalt and dirt roads.The result of meticulous research and advanced engineering, it offersunique features of maneuverability, aerodynamics, reactivity and resistance,thanks to the new design of the rim and spokes.Vicenza, June 5, 2024. On our twentieth anniversary, SHARQ marks a milestone forFulcrum: the first product designed specifically for endurance cycling andoff-road.The term “SHARQ” captures the essence of this new high-precision wheel; it's aboutan unprecedented confluence of smoothness, maneuverability, aerodynamics, reactivity andcomfort, qualities that today see the light thanks to the experience acquired with Speed, Wind andRapid Red Carbon.With a design that enhances the cycling experience on mixed routes, both on asphalt and ondirt roads, SHARQ is the result of meticulous research, engineeringadvanced and extensive work during the design and testing phases, in order toguarantee the cyclist the best possible performance. And all this with a chain of100% controlled production, in which all its components are manufactured in Europeand assembled in our own facilities.The new SHARQ has a 25 mm internal channel, making it avery valid option for both road wheels of at least 30 mm width, sinceguarantees aerodynamics and improves rolling resistance, such as for tires oflarger size and with studs, since it offers excellent support to the structure of thecovered in off-road cycling. The rim is equipped with a minihook, which guarantees themaximum safety and is compatible with tubeless and air chamber systems. AFulcrum's usual element is the non-perforated bridge, so the rim is tubelesssince its creation and does not need tape.The most interesting result in terms of performanceaerodynamic was obtained with a wave rim profileperiodic, with a regular pattern in front, whichit becomes irregular near the exterior walls.The main advantage lies in the yaw moment,especially in the range between 10 and 20 degrees.Thanks to CFD analysis, we reduced the seveninitial tire variants to the two thatbetter benefits offered.More extensive wind tunnel testingrevealed that there were no significant differencesin the resistance force between the twooptions.The most significant improvement occurred in theyaw moment, that is, the effortnecessary to keep the wheel straight withcrosswind.The most interesting result in terms of performanceaerodynamic was obtained with a wave rim profileperiodic, with a regular pattern in front, whichit becomes irregular near the exterior walls.The main advantage lies in the yaw moment,especially in the range between 10 and 20 degrees.

TOTAL EXCELLENCE
Designed to elevate the driving experience on mixed routes, from asphalt to dirt roads, Sharq is the result of careful research, advanced engineering and extensive work in the design and testing phase, to ensure the best possible performance. All this with a 100% controlled supply chain, in which all components are manufactured in Europe and assembled in our own factories.
The new Sharq is characterized by a 25 mm internal channel, a compromise valid for both road wheels of at least 30 mm, which guarantee aerodynamics and improve rolling resistance, and for larger tires. large and with studs, which offer valid support to the tire structure in off-road use. To be compatible with tubeless and inner tube systems, the rim is equipped with a mini hook, which guarantees maximum safety. According to Fulcrum practice, the bridge is not perforated and therefore is native tubeless, without the need for additional tape.
Capable of rolling with precision and speed all types of terrain, from asphalt to
dirt roads, SHARQ offers easy handling in any situation, even intense lateral wind, with reactivity and aerodynamics typical of dirt wheels.
faster roads, but also resists strong impacts and mitigates irregularities
of the terrain like the best gravel wheels.
This new range is the result of a research and development process in which
invested more than 4000 hours between design, laboratory tests and field tests.
As with other of our wheels, we take care of the
manufacturing of most of SHARQ's components, while for parts
manufactured externally we have a certified network of reliable European partners,
who are especially concerned about productive meticulousness and social responsibility.
This is an aspect that allows us to work with extreme precision and offer a product
that makes a difference, with advantages that the cyclist perceives immediately and that translate
in an excellent sensation when pedaling.
