Fulcrum and Polartec Team Up for Special Edition Sharq 42 Wheelset

In an unexpected but compelling partnership, wheel manufacturer Fulcrum has teamed up with technical fabric innovator Polartec to release a special edition package centered around the Sharq 42 aero carbon wheelset. The collaboration bundles Fulcrum’s cutting-edge wheel technology with premium, sustainable accessories. The wheels themselves feature an exclusive wavy graphic treatment and utilize Fulcrum's unique 2-Wave rim design, which undulates from a 42mm to 47mm depth. The company claims this patented profile creates significant aerodynamic advantages, citing a drag reduction of "21% in winds from 0° to 10° and up to 30% between 10° and 20°" versus a traditional rim of the same depth.

Included with the purchase of this special edition Sharq 42 wheelset is a custom wheel bag that cleverly transforms into a stylish tote for everyday use. Crafted from Polartec® Power Shield® Pro fabric, the bag is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, utilizing non-PFAS Biolon™ bio-based nylon. The package is rounded out with a quick-drying Polartec cycling cap, creating a unique offering that combines on-bike performance with practical off-bike style.
