The GR project has grown out of an in-depth analysis of race data and direct experiences from high-level gravel races. The objective was clear: to create a wheel able to support high speeds over rough terrain, whilst maintaining control, precision and a concrete aerodynamic advantage. The heart of the project is the new 2-Wave Rim with an inner rim width of 30mm, and mini-hook, designed to work in perfect synergy with wide tyres, optimising their shape, contact patch and stability.
The variable wave profile, with a height of 47/52mm, improves air flow management and reduces the yaw moment and frontal drag. The Sharq GR represents the maximum expression of Fulcrum’s performance for gravel races: FF100 carbon fibre, hubs with Cup & Cone bearings, flat profile A3RO spokes and 2:1 lacing pattern, for maximum reaction, precision and aerodynamic advantage. The wheel-tyre system has been developed to work in perfect synergy with 47-50mm.
* Wide tyres specific 45mm tyres are also compatible, download here the complete and constantly growing list.
