Everything a Bike Wheel Should Be. Light? Check. Groundbreaking? Check. Trustworthy? Check. A heck-of-a-lot-of-fun to ride? Double check. How can a rim brake wheel rival modern dis c brake options in both wet and dry conditions? The answer is our Turbine Braking Technology. HED’s patented system features a textured, all-black braking surface. This detailed design increases brake power in both wet and dry conditions. When it is dry, brakes have more power, so you can stop more quickly with much less force at the brake lever. When the roads get wet, HED’s Turbine Braking Technology keeps water away from the braking surface, drastically outperforming regular alloy or carbon rims - so you can stop more quickly with less force at the brake lever. Light, durable, and stealthy - with incredible braking performance - the Ardennes RA black has it all. 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. Our all-black, textured alloy brake track gives 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 and tubeless compatibility. Hand built by in Minnesota, the Ardennes RA Black is ready for whatever your throw at it, rain or shine. Get riding today! Show more
