Ardennes RA Pro Disc Brake Rear Wheel
The Ardennes RA Pro disc brake rear wheel is always a trusted choice for gruelling mountain gran fondos, rapid group rides and even the harshest multi-surface winter rides. The high-grade alloy rim is tough but light, and its 25mm rim depth ensures excellent control in even the most blustery of conditions. What’s more, the rim’s 21mm internal width supports the sidewalls of tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyres, promoting lower rolling resistance and enhanced grip at comfort-inducing lower inflation pressures; perfect for slogging across mucky winter roads.
A HED in-house designed Sonic Pro hub spins smoothly and is exceptionally durable, and Center Lock disc brake rotor attachment helps offer powerful, controlled braking. The five-pawl, 45-ratchet freehub guarantees rapid pedalling engagement, while hardy Sapim Sprint round spokes complete the build in a robust two-cross lacing pattern.
