The Hed track hub has super smooth bearings, just like our road hubs, but the balls are larger, so they can stand up to the force of a full on elbows out, bike pumping, head down, bell lap sprint. For maximum stiffness, the stout flanges are spaced close to the outer locknuts and spoke hole diameter is 62mm. The wide flange spacing and spoke hole diameter increase spoke triangulation to stiffen the wheel laterally.

Our proprietary HED hub has a forged aluminium shell with the spoke holes actually forged into the shell on the non-drive side, for super-strong anchor points. Bearing surfaces are machined to an extremely high tolerance for the lowest hub drag possible, and are incredibly accurately aligned with concentricity as exact as to ensure no binding at the inner and outer race. Bearings are steel ABEC-5 rated - meaning a high level of 'roundness' so they fit the bores exactly. All this attention to manufacturing details results, as you might expect, in a superb hub.

Bearings are steel ABEC-5 rated - meaning a high level of 'roundness' so they fit the bores exactly. It's an unbeatable design and it's at the heart of all non-Flamme Rouge HED wheels.
