Technology That Performs.
Rims
The Vanquish V62 uses a 62mm-deep carbon rim developed for aerodynamic efficiency and speed across road racing, time trials, triathlon, and fast group riding. Its 31.1mm external width creates a smooth transition between the tire and rim, while the 22.4mm internal width supports modern road tires for confident cornering and improved ride quality.
The hooked, tubeless-compatible profile is optimized around a 28mm measured tire and can also be ridden with conventional clincher tires and inner tubes. Each carbon rim is manufactured by HED in Minnesota.
HED GP Performance Hubs
HED GP Performance Centerlock hubs are built for reliable power transfer, smooth rotation, and straightforward long-term service.
The front hub uses a 12x100mm thru axle and two sealed EZO Japan 6902RS cartridge bearings. The rear uses a 12x142mm thru axle, four sealed EZO Japan 6902RS bearings, and a four-pawl freehub mechanism with 13-degree engagement.
