Fulcrum Soniq 42 2wf c25 afs hh12 wheels 2026

The supersonic wave that conquers every road

Just over a year after the presentation of the revolutionary Sharq, Fulcrum expands its range with Soniq 42, an accessible wheel designed for those seeking versatility and comfort without sacrificing the distinctive design and cutting-edge technological solutions that characterise the Form, Function, Fulcrum design philosophy.
Soniq 42 features the innovative 2-Wave Rim profile, a technical solution that optimises aerodynamics and stability, now an increasingly recognised feature of the Fulcrum range. The profile height varies between 42 and 47 mm, following a wave design that contributes to the dynamic and responsive behaviour of the wheel.

Comfort and innovation without limits
At the heart of the new Soniq 42 rim is FF80 lamination, developed to ensure maximum comfort, especially on longer rides or mixed terrain.
The rim structure incorporates 2-Way Fit technology with a non-perforated bridge: a solution that allows tubeless use without tape and makes the wheel more robust, as well as simplifying management and maintenance — making the Soniq 42 ideal for both experienced cyclists and those looking for quality without complications.

Reliable performance, always
The hub used is derived directly from the Wind series, renowned for its smoothness and reliability. With sealed bearings and preload adjustment, it ensures long-lasting smoothness, contributing to the solid and precise riding feel typical of Fulcrum products.
The total weight of the pair is 1,595 grams, perfect for tackling mixed routes or long distances without compromise. Although in a more affordable price range than Sharq, Soniq 42 is not a simplified version: the use of intelligent materials and solutions creates an ideal balance between performance, comfort, longevity and price. A distinctive wheel, ready to tackle any road with easy handling and unmistakable style.
