VANQUISH PRO
The Vanquish Pro Series.
The Vanquish Pro Series is our full carbon, disc brake masterpiece. Our patented shapes make the series the most aerodynamic bike wheels in the world. At HED, compromise is never an option. Period.
Each Vanquish Pro rim is made by hand in the U.S.A., right here in Minnesota, and each one goes through multiple layers of quality control. With this level of craftsmanship and the race proven aerodynamic performance of the Vanquish rim profile, the result is truly something special. There’s a spirit to these wheels: a superb, searingly fast ride quality; a true embodiment of HED’s philosophy of Proven Speed.
HED’s Fastest Wheel. Ever.
For HED, that’s saying something, since we have been making world championship winning wheels for more than 35 years. It all begins with our patented rim profiles. Raw carbon is laid up into molds, cured, and finished. Each rim is completely handmade by our team here in Minnesota.
Boasting drag numbers that can drop to negative 100g, the Vanquish Pro series wheels are simply faster than the competition. Blink and you just might miss them.
FEATURES:
- Handmade in the U.S.A.
- Rim depths ranging from 45mm to full Aero Disc
- HED Sonic Pro Centerlock Disc Brake Hubs
- Tubeless Compatible
Lead Time is 5-7 days
1. For all types of bicycle wheels, a hard strike on the rim is likely to result in rim damage. At the point of impact, an aluminum rim will dent, and a carbon rim may delaminate – both are unsafe conditions that require rim replacement.
2. Tire pressure = 80psi MAX
3. Freehub Note: *Campagnolo requires a longer lockring to safely secure 10/11/12 speed cassettes to N3W freehubs. Cassette dimensions vary, not all Campy cassettes will work with the N3W body on Hed hubs.
– Tubeless Tape (applied from factory)
– Tubeless Valves
– Valve Hole Decals x4 (aero disc only)

"The next generation of Vanquish wheels performed remarkably in the wind tunnel. Across the line we saw improvements in stability while keeping drag to a minimum. Riders can expect a consistent push forward from their new wheels and at the same time count on stable crosswind handling characteristics."
Vanquish Benefits //
- Stable crosswind handling characteristics were retained to greater than 70% of typical cycling yaw angles
- 25mm-28mm tires are optimal for performance
- Patented Rim Profiles
