Can a wheelset change how your whole bike rides? Bolt on a pair of the HED Ardennes SL Road Wheels and you will know the answer to that is a resounding yes. After focusing on aero wheels for 15 years, HED turned their awesome wheel building skills to traditional alloy wheels. Although the 23mm wide Scandium C2 rim is wider than most road bike rims, it is lighter and HED found that this carefully engineered rim is stiffer and works in concert with your tires to provide a better riding experience. With straighter sidewalls, and more rubber on the road, cornering is an entirely new experience. The sidewalls don't flop over in a hard corner, and more rubber on the road is, well... better. C2s should be run with lower pressure, since there is more air volume in the wider tire profile and that creates a more comfortable ride. If you need speed, acceleration, cornering and comfort, it is hard to find a better wheel than the Ardennes SL Wheelset.
