Absolutely. Innovative? Certainly. Reliable? Without a doubt. And incredibly enjoyable to ride? Definitely. The development of HED’s renowned Ardennes RA Black left no detail overlooked. Building on the pioneering Ardennes rim design with flawless seam welding, HED’s engineers crafted one of the most responsive and speedy alloy wheels available. They also set out to address a unique challenge: creating a rim brake wheel that performs on par with contemporary disc brake models in both wet and dry conditions.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnter Turbine Braking Technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHED’s patented system uses special machining and anodizing to create a textured, all-black braking surface. This detailed design, like the tread of a tire creates traction. When the roads get wet, HED’s Turbine Braking Technology separates and spreads moisture away from the braking surface. That means no compromise, wet or dry, in how this wheel performs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared 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. Read that again. Our all-black, textured alloy brake track gives you all-around riding performance with none of the concerns of carbon braking surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of all that, you can add all of the incredible ride quality of 25mm-wide rims, tubeless compatibility, and perfect balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand built by our team in Minnesota, the Ardennes RA Black is ready for whatever your throw at it, rain or shine.
