HED Cycling (USA) – “They said it couldn't be done. Plus-size tires and bikes weren't supposed to be fast, win races, or feel as light and agile as their skinny-tire cousins. We took that as a challenge, and sought to create the widest, lightest, highest-performance 27.5+ carbon wheel in the world. After countless prototypes and hours of testing, we are extremely proud to bring you the new Raptor“.
The numbers don't lie - 45mm external rim width, 40mm inner rim width, and a jaw-dropping 430 gram rim weight. Combined with a new rim bed shape, tubeless setup is a snap (literally), and offers superb air retention - even at super low pressures. HED Cycling offer several hub options to suit your needs, and all Raptors are hand-built with their stringent QC process.
While the Raptor will definitely inject some True Speed into your 27.5+ trail bike, they can also be used as summer wheels for your fat bike, when built on hubs with fat bike spacing. HED Cycling test riders report that they’re nothing short of “brilliant!”
