HED Wheelset Ardennes FR

Produktbeschreibung

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.

Flamme Rouge Sonic hubs are built to the same exacting tolerances as regular sonics, but save weight with a carbon hub shell and forged titanium ratchet ring. Ceramic bearings are used to reduce weight and rolling resistance. Ti skewers are lighter than stock steel ones. 6/4 Ti spokes in the Flamme Rouge wheels weigh even less than the lightest steel spokes available, and their comparatively larger diameter makes them stronger than steel. 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.
