For HED, that’s saying something, since we have been making world championship winning wheels for more than 35 years. It all begins with our patented rim profiles. Raw carbon is laid up into molds (also manufactured in house), cured, and finished. Each rim is completely handmade by our team here in Minnesota.
Boasting drag numbers that can drop to negative 100g, the Vanquish RC Pro series wheels are simply faster than the competition. Blink and you just might miss them.
Freehub Note: *Campagnolo requires a longer lockring to safely secure 10/11/12 speed cassettes to N3W freehubs. Cassette dimensions vary, not all Campy cassettes will work with the N3W body on Hed hubs.

- Rim depths ranging from 40mm to a complete Aero Disc
- Wheel set weights starting at 1,455g with the Vanquish RC4 Pro

The Vanquish RC Pro.
The Vanquish RC Pro Series is our full carbon, disc brake masterpiece. Our patented shapes make the series the most aerodynamic bike wheels in the world. At HED, compromise is never an option. Period.
Each depth in the Vanquish series is optimized for aerodynamics first, with handling a very close second consideration. Going fast is about drag reduction AND predictability. Choose Vanquish 4 if you are a very light rider, commonly ride in the mountains, or are a weight weenie. Vanquish 6 is our most popular option, great for road racing and occasional time trials. Vanquish 8 and Vanquish disc (RCD Pro) are unbeatable for pure TT speed.
Each Vanquish RC Pro rim is made by hand in the U.S.A., right here in Minnesota, and each one goes through multiple layers of quality control. Between this level of craftsmanship and the unprecedented aerodynamic performance of the Vanquish rim profile, the result is truly something special. There’s a spirit to these wheels: a superb, searingly fast ride quality; a true embodiment of HED’s philosophy of Proven Speed.
