HED Stinger 90 Wheels

Purchase HED Stinger 90 Wheels

The Stinger 9 is made for ripping time trials.

In light to medium winds the Stinger not only will give you more speed than any other wheel out there but will stay fast when other wheels begin to slow down.

The Stinger 9 balances lateral stiffness, vertical compliance, impact resistance, & cornering performance. The Stinger 9 uses three different types of carbon and a unique layup schedule that produces a wheel that is 15% stiffer laterally and 10% more impact resistant than the previous generation while maintaining vertical compliance and making the rim 25 grams lighter. Cornering is noticably improved by the use of the C2 tire well. The C2 tire well provides more support for the tire when cornering or accelerating out of the saddle. It is also worth noting that the stability of the wheel in crosswinds has been improved. This is a side effect of the improved aerodynamics. Smooth air over the rim produces stability in the wheel. This means that despite the Stinger 9 have a large amount of surface area in a side wind it still holds it's riding line well because air is flowing smoothly over it and not buffetting which in indicative of a wheel beyond it's stall point.

HED Bastogne C2 Wheels -- C2=23mm of ride enhancing rim width. Simply put, the HED "Bastogne" wheelset is both light and strong. Light enough to uncork a powerful attack on the harsh twelve-percent grade of the Cote de Stockeu. Strong enough to lead the day's break through the cobbled streets of Trois-Ponts. No matter how brutal the terrain, nor how tenacious the opposition; the Bastogne wheelset will inspire confidence and determination in your "spring classic". Specifications: * Sonic hubset * Black bladed stainless spokes * Alloy C2 rims * Rider weight limit 190lbs. Stallion build available for riders 191-230lbs. * Powertap available. +$1650 for complete SL+ with electropak. The Bastogne are sold as a set.

HED Ardennes Wheels -- The Hed Ardennes has lower rolling resistance and better aerodynamics than traditional 19mm wide rims. A 23mm tire has room to spread out on the 23mm wide rim. The reshaped tire carcass has a shorter, wider contact patch; as the tire rolls, a shorter section of the sidewall deflects. Less sidewall deflection lowers rolling resistance and increases efficiency. The same reshaping matches the tire spread to the rim width. Instead of looking like a lightbulb, the tire/rim profile is an ellipse - much more aero. Starting with the initial CAD renderings of the C2 rim, we knew that we were making a genuinely different wheel, but we had to wait until the rims were extruded and wheels built to realize just how superior the Ardennes really are. In a single ride, all was revealed. The C2 extrusion improves everything about clinchers: The road contact patch is bigger, so cornering grip is improved. On the C2 the tire profile is wider and the sidewall is shorter, so the carcass is stiffer and rolling resistance is lower. In short, on a C2 clinchers ride better than tubulars. They stick like day old oatmeal in the corners, and there is no tire squirm, even when you're out of the saddle drilling it up a hill. The increased air volume noticeably improves the ride. Clinchers even sound like tubulars on a C2. If you've never ridden tubulars before, a single ride on the Ardennes illustrates why the pros and old-timers persist in riding them, despite the cost and hassle of gluing. If you are an old-timer or pro still holding onto your tubulars like grim death, you'll be ready to switch after just one ride. Because HED hand builds all of their wheels, they can make most of their wheels in a stronger Stallion version for large riders. If you weigh over 190 lbs, we should talk about your intended use and riding style before you pull the trigger on a new set of wheels. We can probably make a wheel for you, but it may not be a stock version. You can email info@repartocorse.com for more information or to start a conversation.

HED Jet 6 Wheels -- The 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 our 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. They 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 our 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.

HED Jets 9 Wheels -- 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 our 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 Jet wheels revolutionary. 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 the Stallion build. * C2 platform rims * Black bladed spokes * Sonic hubs * Clincher only * Rider weight limit 190lbs.

HED Stinger 6 Wheels -- The Stinger 6 is excellent for TT use. It has been updated and revised withthe C2 platform in mind. HED states: Speed, even when confined just to wheels, involves more than just low drag. Tire efficiency, cornering speed, handling, strength and stiffness, and even comfort are important factors for overall speed. All are addressed in the Stinger 6. The C2 tire well secures the tire in a wider and slightly deeper “cradle”. With increased support of the tire carcass, sidewall flexion is reduced, and less flexion vastly increases cornering stability and general handling. It also improves tire efficiency.

HED 3 Tubular Wheels -- The distinctive three-spoke configuration of the H3 has given it more Tour de France top 10 TT finishes than any other wheel in the last 10 years, with or without stickers. It is the most aero production front wheel available. As a rear, the outstanding stiffness of the the wheel provides optimum power transfer. Little wonder it’s such a common sight in prol level races. The H3 is the most aero spoked wheel that HED makes. Rim construction is identical to the Alps. Using RTM construction, the spokes, rim, and hub are co-molded in one operation. Because there are no secondary bonding processes, the H3s are supremely strong. The rim weight is light – 460g, the three spokes only weigh 170g, so the wheels climb and accelerate very well. Available in clincher or tubular, 650 or 700. Shimano cassette, or track configuration only. Hubs are wheel-specific, two sealed bearings on the front wheel, one sealed cartridge on the rear non-drive side and ¼” loose ball-bearings on the drive side. Decals are white. Weights:---------700c-----650c Front Tubular----790g-----720g Rear Tubular----1000g-----920g Front Clincher---820g-----750g Rear Clincher---1030g-----950g HED designs and builds wheels with exceptional aerodynamic efficiency using the finest materials. Wheels which handle correctly out in the real world. Speed and lightness are balanced with strength and durability. These criteria guide the design of every HED wheel. For the past 20 years HED has been handbuilding wheels at their factory in White Bear Lake. The master builder lost count after 10,000 race wheels. World champion cyclists and triathletes as well as top road teams have asked HED to make them faster. Because HED handbuilds all of their wheels, they can make most of their wheels in a stronger version for large riders.

HED Carbon Lenticular Disc Wheel -- Wind tunnel testing at the Texas A&M facility has proved the disc to be the most aerodynamically efficient of all the HED wheels. This has also been corroborated by independent tests at Bath University England, which confirmed the advantages and benefits that a lenticular disc has over flat discs. The lenticular shape smoothes the disturbed air produced by the rider and crosswinds, so airflow leaving the wheel surface is less turbulent than on a flat disc or wire spoked wheel. A reduction in turbulence is an increase in speed. The HED Carbon disc is available in tubular, rear only, 700c Campagnolo or Shimano compatible cassette or as a single speed track version. Weight limit unpublished. NOTE: Delivery time for discs is 4-8 weeks from date of order. Weights-------unpublished.
