HED H3 Front Please call for pricing

HED's H3 wheels offer full on aero performance in any conditions. The key to the wide range of performance is the combination of a 55mm deep rim section, the airfoil section spokes and the smooth transitions between the two. The 55mm deep rim keeps drag low at shallow yaw angles. When the yaw angle goes past 15° the aero spokes work to keep the wheel from stalling, and drag stays flat. The optimum wind angle for the H3 is an amazing 17.5°. H3 clinchers are made with a light and durable alloy rim cap. Tubulars are offered in either alloy rim cap or all carbon.

Intended riders include:

• roadies that are afraid of looking like aero geeks, but still want scary fast wheels.
• weight conscious riders who may or may not be in a light bike competition with their riding buddies, but still want scary fast wheels
• riders who live where there are enough steep hills that weight matters more to them than the other 95% of us, but still want scary fast wheels.
• the Hed sales and design staff, who lust after scary fast commuter wheels.

The above riders will love the Jet4. Seriously, Jet 4 really are all condition wheels. If you are a lightweight rider who gets blown around easily, they’re for you. If you want seriously fast wheels but don’t want to commit to a full on 60mm or more aero set, they’re for you.

The first Aero clincher wheels, ever since 1990. The new 60mm aero section made specifically for the C2 rim make the Jet 6 better than ever. They’re more aero, they roll better, corner better, and they’re lighter. Even in crosswinds, the Jet 6 wheels are fast, it takes a strong crosswind to stall them out.

Climbing? They’re plenty light for climbing. HED modeled a rider on their power/drag software to illustrate it. The model rider goes 190lbs total bike and rider weight, and HED gave him 275 watts, pointed him into a 9kph headwind. HED calculated two sets of numbers, one on 1320g wheelset with the drag characteristics of traditional low profile wheels, and a 300g heavier wheelset with the drag of Jet 6s. The lower drag of the Jets kept the model rider going faster until the grade reached 7.5%. Unless your race is all uphill in the mountains, Jets are going to get you to the finish faster.

Part of Hed’s long list of “firsts”, the Jet 9 was designed in 1995 and production started in 1996. It was groundbreaking 13 years ago. Thanks to HED's extensive re-design the Jet 9 is as revolutionary as the original.  What makes the Jet 9 so good, and so much better than its predecessor? It is all interrelated. The new wheel is more aero, it has lower rolling resistance, it corners and handles better, and it more comfortable – all increase speed, and all are a result of HED's C2 rim technology. The C2 rim is 23mm wide; and that fact alone does not make it revolutionary, and by itself a 23mm rim width is not “technology”. What HED did with a 23mm rim width, and what it allows for aerodynamics, rolling resistance, and bike handling are what make the C2, and the new Jet wheels revolutionary.

First, the rim itself. With exacting CAD design and the resulting extrusion dies that can be machined from the instructions in a CAD file, HED can make a 23mm wide rim that weighs no more than the 19mm rims that were standard for the industry (including HED) for years. The additional width actually makes the C2 rim stiffer laterally than a 19mm version.

With a better rim to start from, the Jet wheels are faster. Jets are made for 23mm tires. Larger tires have lower rolling resistance than smaller versions. They put more rubber on the road for better cornering traction. They require less psi to support the same load as a 19mm tire. 23mm tires are superior – now that we have the proper rim for them. With the C2 rim, tire width matches rim width, so the wheel is more aero. The tire sidewalls are part of the aero shape of the entire wheel, they don’t bulge over the brake track like they do on a 19mm rim. The same straightened sidewalls support the tire better in hard cornering and out of the saddle efforts, so the complete tire is more rigid and less squirmy. Stiffer is more efficient than squirmy, and more efficient is faster.

Jets are all built everyday strong. At a mere 979g Jet 9 is an excellent race wheel, and it happens to be strong enough for everyday use by sub 190lb riders. Over 190 lbs? You need HED's Stallion build. As a front wheel they are a good choice for athletes that ride at 25mph or faster in light and medium wind conditions. For those athletes that are riding 25mph or less the front wheel should be reserved for days when the winds are light. Use of HED's wind yaw calculator can help you determine what is ideal for you.

The aero section on Jet 4 FR wheels is molded from a stiffer and lighter 1K fabric, saving 30 g per rim. Flamme Rouge Sonic hubs are built to the same exacting tolerances as regular sonics, but reduce weight with a carbon hub shell and forged titanium ratchet ring. Abec5 bearings are used for durability and low rolling resistance. Ti skewers are lighter than stock steel ones. The Scandium alloyed rims on FR wheels are lighter, stronger, and stiffer than unalloyed models.

The final 1000 meters leading to the finish line – at the Tour there is a red pennant marking the last kilometer. At the Giro, riders hit the Ultimo Kilometro. When the race gets to the Flamme Rouge, nothing is held back. The sprinters trains are at full speed, or the breakaway riders are eying each other tensely, or the climbers are grimacing as they struggle for the valuable seconds that could put them on the top step. The Flamme Rouge marks the point where you give it everything.

It marks the same thing for Hed. Flamme Rouge wheels are the ultimate. If it can save weight or save watts, we use it.  The aero section on Jet 6 FR wheels is molded from a stiffer and lighter 1K fabric, saving 42 g per rim. Flamme Rouge Sonic hubs are built to the same exacting tolerances as regular sonics, but reduce weight with a carbon hub shell and forged titanium ratchet ring. Abec5 bearings are used for durability and low rolling resistance. Ti skewers are lighter than stock steel ones. The Scandium alloyed rims on FR wheels are lighter, stronger, and stiffer than unalloyed models.

The closing meters of the race are where everything counts; Flamme Rouge wheels are built for one thing only. They are built to win.
