HED Ardennes RA Black Wheelset

No expense was spared in the development of HED’s iconic Ardennes RA Black. Building off of the industry leading Ardennes rim design, seam-welded to perfection, HED’s team of engineers knew they had produced one of the most lively, fast alloy wheels in the bike industry, but they also decided to take on a new and unique challenge. Compared to other rim brake wheels on the market, HED’s Turbine Braking Technology produces 25% shorter stopping distances in dry conditions and 70% shorter stopping distances in wet conditions. Read that again. The all-black, textured alloy brake track, seamlessly matched to a hyper-aero carbon rim section, give you all-around riding performance with none of the concerns of carbon braking surfaces. On top of all that, you can add all of the incredible ride quality of 25mm-wide rims, tubeless compatibility, and perfect balance. Hand built by HED in Minnesota, the Ardennes RA Black is ready for whatever your throw at it, rain or shine. Get riding today!
