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.

Born in Kona. Proven on the Podium
The Jet 180 delivers deep-section aerodynamics with stable crosswind handling and unmatched real-world speed. If you’re racing where discs aren’t allowed, expect variable winds, or simply want confident handling without compromise, this is your wheel.

Handbuilt in Minnesota
From its 21mm internal width to its hybrid carbon/aluminum construction, every Jet 180 is precision-built for efficiency, durability, and top performance over 180km of racing. HED’s 30+ year legacy of speed is built into every detail.
