Sharq 57
The Fulcrum Sharq 57 represents the natural evolution of a wheel that has already redefined the concept of road performance. It is the new benchmark for those seeking speed, precision, and reliability in all conditions and on any route. The Sharq 57 is positioned at the top of the all-road performance category. With its optimized 2-Wave Rim profile, combined with A3r0 spokes and prestigious USB™ ceramic bearings, it combines smoothness, stability, and comfort in just 1,520g. It offers a more refined ride than traditional high-profile wheels. Continuing the legacy of the Sharq 42, this version represents a significant step forward in terms of efficiency and performance.

2-Way Fit
Tubeless technology was adopted in the automotive industry, then in the motorcycle industry, and finally in cycling. After its debut with mountain bikes, it's time to "put it on the road": and that's what Fulcrum offers us. They developed 2-Way Fit™ technology to ensure perfect compatibility of their tubeless rims with standard clincher tires and tubes. 2-Way Fit™ wheels are perfectly versatile, perfect for any situation. Thanks to a special recess in the valve area, tube installation is performed with maximum precision, keeping the tube perfectly stable inside the tire. Even the valve for tubeless tires is safely seated, with the undoubted advantage of never having air leaks due to poor positioning during installation. The advantages are clear: various tests have highlighted an unprecedented increase in smoothness. Since there's no inner tube, friction with the tire is eliminated, and the perfect fit of the tire on the rim prevents energy loss. A tubeless tire doesn't sag suddenly in the event of a puncture, a significant safety advantage. There's also no risk of pinch flats because there's no inner tube to break.

AFS axis system™
The Axial Fixing System™ is the solution developed by Fulcrum® for securing the disc brake to the hub. The constraint provided by the fixing contact surface, greater than with existing standards, allows for greater structural rigidity and therefore more precise and powerful braking.

FIC Fulcrum Identification Card - 100% Handmade Quality
Since its inception, Fulcrum® has been distinguished by a characteristic that continues to this day: that is, designing, prototyping and industrialising all wheels marked with the red “F”.
These, in fact, take shape within the innovative R&D, the advanced department that represents the beating heart of the Italian company. Every single wheel component, the selected materials, and the applied technologies are the tangible result of the effort Fulcrum® makes every day to offer you maximum performance and reliability. To guarantee the maximum performance and reliability of its products, each project, before the industrialization phase, must pass a series of stringent tests that validate what had been conceived and designed up to that point (fatigue tests, crash tests, tire burst tests, environmental tests, and 100% manual assembly and electronic control).

USB™ - Ceramic Ultra Smooth Bearings™
Fulcrum® has always been recognized for the exceptional smoothness and reliability of its hubs. This is because all projects are developed in-house by the Fulcrum® R&D department, and every detail is meticulously cared for. Hubs equipped with USB™ (Ultra Smooth Bearings) ceramic bearings further enhance wheel smoothness and reduce weight and maintenance, making your road bike wheels a faithful ally. Comparative tests have shown that USB™ bearings are 50% smoother than standard bearings.
Improving your performance in road races, triathlons, or simply riding with friends will now become easier.

2:1 Two-to-One Spoke Ratio™ - Disc Brake
A simple yet effective system, born from the ingenuity of Fulcrum® engineers and careful observation of the results of tests conducted daily on Fulcrum wheels (wheels for racing, mountain bikes, and cyclocross). Thanks to these tests, it was possible to understand that the forces acting on the sides of the wheel, and therefore on the spokes, are extremely different; not only that, but the differences between the front and rear wheels are also evident and significant. The front wheel must remain stable even during braking by the disc on the left side, while the rear wheel, in addition to making room for the cassette, must compensate for the traction of the force on the chain side.

MoMag™
A magnet, and a lot of ingenuity. This is how the patent for the proven "Mounting Magnet" system was born. The nipples, once inserted into the rim through the valve hole, are "guided" to the point where they attach to the spoke by the magnet. Thanks to this simple trick, it is possible to obtain a wheel without holes on the upper bridge, but with spokes tensioned by traditional nipples! The absence of holes on the rim also means a homogeneous product at every point, free of critical points or breakage zones. In fact, with clincher profiles, the use of rim tape is no longer necessary. The advantages are immediately noticeable: lighter weight, longer rim life, greater resistance to fatigue, the ability to tension the spokes more tightly, and greater rigidity which, in terms of performance, means greater responsiveness and acceleration.

Undrilled Rim Bed
The absence of holes on the upper deck means a product that is homogeneous at every point, free from critical points subject to stress.
The advantages are immediately noticeable: lower weight, longer rim life, greater resistance to fatigue, the ability to tension the spokes more tightly, and greater stiffness, which, in terms of performance, means greater responsiveness and acceleration.

Traceability
The key word for our products is traceability. If you find a small label attached to Fulcrum® components, don't remove it. This label is there to ensure that in the event of a confirmed defect in a production batch, your components or wheel will be traceable. All this because Fulcrum®, true to its mission, demands absolute perfection for its products and safety for its customers.
