Vanquish RC4 Pro Rear Wheel
Designed to soar up mountain passes, surge over punchy bergs, fly down descents and thunder through valleys, the Vanquish RC4 Pro wheels are masters of all topography.
The rims are handmade in HED’s own Minnesota facility, guaranteeing quality control and are fabricated from proprietary, ultra-high grade 110 GSM carbon fibre to ensure low weight, strength and responsiveness under power. This carbon material is formed into a 40mm deep, HED patented rim profile, markedly lowering aerodynamic drag and keeping crosswind stability high. Compatible with tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyres, the 21mm internal rim measurement improves tyre sidewall support to reduce rolling resistance, improve traction and grant extra impact resilience at comfort-inducing, lower tyre pressures.
A smooth spinning HED Sonic Pro hub is linked to the rim via bladed Sapim CX-Ray spokes in laterally stiff and reliable two-cross patterns. The freehub features a five-pawl, 45-ratchet construction to quicken engagement during surges in riding pace.
