Ardennes Plus SL Disc Brake Wheelset

For riders who tend to get after it outside of the pavement, disc is the way to go. And, while there was a wait, we think it's worth it for the HED Ardennes Plus SL Disc Brake Wheelset. The priority for these hoops comes down to them being lightweight, but that doesn't mean they're not packet with beefy strength that can hold up to the grueling demands of gravel and cross. The Ardennes Plus offers a lofty rim width, which adds strength but also accommodates wide cross and gravel tires. Riders will see sure-footed handling, plus a bit of pnumatic suspension that takes the sting out of washboard country roads.


HED laces the Plus SL's to its Sonic Disc hub in the front, with wide flanges for impeccable stiffness and resistance to torsional forces. The rear hub is HED's new 545 J-bend hub, featuring five pawls and 45 teeth for lightning-fast engagement to torque over steep inclines and technical terrain. HED uses its Lite bladed steel spokes in the Plus SL to provide additional weight savings over the LT and GP versions.


The Ardennes Plus takes HED's C2 rim design even a step further compared to the standard Ardennes profile. Two additional millimeters of width result in an improved tire profile for even better grip and faster rolling. The wider rim puts more of the tire on the ground, and that increased contact patch means more grip, especially while cornering. Better yet, by widening the tire's base, more of the sidewall is oriented vertically, which means the tire is better able to deform around surface irregularities, so you'll roll through them, not over them. And just in case you're looking for the fastest rolling setup around, the Plus SL is compatible with tubeless setups in addition to traditional clincher tires with tubes.
