Hed Cycling Time Trial products
Steve Hed started designing and producing wheels in
1985, beginning what was to become his vocation in humble fashion,
working on an aero wheel in his garage at home. This quickly led to
an interest in all things aerodynamic. Detailed study of the subject
followed, eventually focusing on aerodynamic principles in relation
to bicycle wheels. By this time, the initial interest had developed
into an obsession. Many more home grown wheels followed, and then
Steve paid the first of dozens of visits to a wind tunnel. His ideas
began to take shape. Over the next few years, the business grew, and
more expertise was introduced in the form of carbon fiber and resin
specialists.
Now, 20 years later, HED cycling products designs and manufactures
16 different models of composite wheels, exported worldwide and used
in events from the Tour de France to the Hawaii Ironman .

H3 - The H3C wheel came about when the top teams in the pro
peloton wanted a lighter TT wheel. The shape is unchanged from Hed's
standard H3 wheel, but for the all carbon model they have replaced
the aluminium rim with carbon. The result? 170g less rotating mass,
still the most aerodynamic spoked wheel in the world. The front wheel
weighs in at 760g and the rear at 830g.
Hed Aero Bar - The carbon aero bar is the result of
more than 50 hours of wind tunnel testing. To decrease both drag and
weight, Hed has integrated brake levers. To keep you aero and powerful,
the extensions and armrests are adjustable in all planes. Directional
layup of the carbon fiber helps absorb vibration for ride comfort
and control. The Aerobar now comes standard with S-Bend extensions.
The extensions are available in carbon fiber or aluminum. .
Hed Flip Lite Bars - This simple and lightweight clip-on aerobar
fits most standard size handle bars. It will transform your everyday
road bike into a machine worthy of competing against the clock. It
has CNCed aluminum brackets with carbon fiber extensions and arm cups.
The armrests are hinged to flip away from the bar tops for climbing.
Paired with cowhorns, the Flip Lite makes a very light aerobar setup
for a dedicated TT bike andcomes standard with S-Bend extensions in
carbon fiber or aluminum. |
