HED Wheels with Velocity Hubs

Gravel in depth

HED Belgium G wheels on Velocity Standard Atb hubs

Our gravel pick from the HED and Velocity parts we build with. The HED Belgium G is a hooked aluminum rim, 25mm inside, 24.5mm deep, about 457 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Velocity Standard Atb hubs in 32 hole.

• Belgium aluminum for road and gravel. The Belgium R is 25mm wide outside, and the Belgium G is 25mm inside and 30mm outside for gravel tires. Both are welded at the seam and tubeless compatible.
• Extra sealing on the Race hubs. Velocity designed the Race line with cyclocross in mind and gave it improved double-bearing seals for added protection, which suits wheels that spend their lives in mud.

Road in depth

HED Vanquish V45 Performance Carbon wheels on Velocity Standard Atb hubs

Our road pick from the HED and Velocity parts we build with. The HED Vanquish V45 Performance Carbon is a hooked carbon rim, 22.4mm inside, 45mm deep, about 460 grams in 700c, sized for about 28 to 38mm tires. We lace it to Velocity Standard Atb hubs in 32 hole.

• Tuned for crosswinds, not just headwinds. HED says it shapes rims for stable handling across the wind angles riders really see. On the Vanquish line, it reports stable crosswind behavior across more than 70 percent of typical cycling yaw angles.
• Fronts made for radial lacing. Velocity designs its front hubs so they can be laced radially where the wheel allows it. It says radial spokes add lateral rigidity and save a little weight.

Fat bike in depth

HED B.A.D. Alloy wheels on Velocity Race Centerlock hubs

Our fat bike pick from the HED and Velocity parts we build with. The HED B.A.D. Alloy is a hooked aluminum rim, 76mm inside, 17mm deep, sized for about 3.8 to 5 inch fat bike tires. We lace it to Velocity Race Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.

• Early on rim width. HED counts itself among the early makers of wide rims, aimed at lower rolling resistance. HED says a wider inside width spreads the tire into a better supported shape, so you can drop pressure without the tire folding under load.
• Rear hubs for the wide standards. The disc rears run through 148mm Boost and 157mm Super Boost, and the fat bike rears through 170/177mm and 190/197mm. Velocity also lists a tandem disc rear, which helps when the bike is not a standard road or trail frame.
