Kona’s Fastest Rear Wheel: Trusted by Champions

The Fastest Non-Disc Rear Wheel on the Market
Developed specifically for triathletes seeking elite aero performance without a full disc, the Jet 180 is the result of decades of HED innovation and a mission from Anne Hed to build the fastest non-disc rear wheel ever raced.
