(BRAIN) \u2014 The wheel brand Fulcrum and textile brand Polartec are joining forces for a co-branded wheelset, wheel bag, and cap.<\/p>\n
The wheel bag is made of\u00a0Polartec Power Shield Pro fabric, which is made using a sustainable non-PFAS monolithic membrane. The bags, co-branded with the two brands’ logos, can be converted into “a sleek, fashion-forward travel bag,” Fulcrum said in a press release. “Seriously,” it added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the included matching cycling cap is “highly breathable and quick drying fabric shelters you from the sun and humidity \u2013 reinforcing the brands\u2019 objective to blend on-bike functionality with off-bike style.” Seriously. (We added that).<\/p>\n
As for the Sharq Polartec\u00a0Edition\u00a0wheels, they feature exclusive graphics and both brand logos on Fulcrum’s Sharq wheels, which feature Fulcrum’s 2-Wave rim design, 25 mm inner rim width, and 2-WAY FIT tubeless, undrilled rim bed. The wheels are engineered in Italy and made in the EU, and weigh 1,440 grams.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The wheels are available with HG or XDr freewheel bodies for\u00a0$ 2,807 including the bags and cap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
