HED ARDENNES PLUS (Road or Gravel rim Brake) Wheelset

The Hed Ardennes line has taken the cycling world by the horns, first with our groundbreaking 23mm-wide C2 rim, and then again with our 25m-wide Plus rim.  They’re our most popular wheels, and have helped to define Hed as a company. For 2016, our goal was to bring the award-winning Ardennes Plus technology to even wider audience.  The result is our brand new Ardennes Plus GP. The Ardennes Plus GP starts with the same recipe as our other Ardennes Plus wheels: Our proprietary 25mm-wide aluminum rim.  It’s tubeless-compatible, and offers increased tire volume, more control, and buttery ride quality.  To that, we add our tried-and-true Sonic LT hubs, round steel spokes, and alloy nipples.  We’ve never had a more competitive price, at $700 per pair. If you’ve been waiting to see and feel the benefits of Hed Ardennes Plus wheels – the new GP will take you there. Tech notes: Ardennes GP Note: Campy freehub sold separately 1. For all types of bicycle wheels, a hard strike on the rim is likely to result in rim damage. At the point of impact, an aluminum rim will dent, and a carbon rim may delaminate – both are unsafe conditions that require rim replacement.   RIM TYPE: Tubeless-ready clincher RIM DEPTH: 24.5mm RIM WIDTH: 25mm INTERNAL RIM WIDTH: 21mm BRAKING SURFACE: Standard CNC Alloy RECOMMENDED BRAKE PAD: Standard alloy pad HUB COMPATIBILITY: Shimano 9, 10, 11 BUILD AND SPOKES: 18 Front, 24 Rear SPOKE TYPE: Round steel WHEEL SIZE: 700c WHEEL SET WEIGHT: 1,610g POWERTAP OPTION: NO TRACK OPTION: NO RECOMMENDED TIRE SIZE: 22mm MAXIMUM TIRE PRESSURE: 90psi INCLUDES: Tubeless Rim Tape
