HED Cycling (USA) – Press Release: First it was our 23mm-wide C2 rims that revolutionized cycling. Next, our 25mm-wide Plus rims took the road scene by storm. In 2017, we struck again, with our super-wide, super-fast Vanquish 6 carbon clincher. Disc brake bikes were never the same again, and the 30mm-profile set aerodynamic records with a wide range of tire sizes.

We're here to say that we haven't stopped innovating, and the Vanquish has grown from a product... to a family.

For 2018, we're proud to introduce the new Vanquish 4 and Vanquish 8. Regardless of whether you're tackling paved roads, gravel roads, triathlons, or something else, the Vanquish line has the right wheel to complete your disc brake bike.

The Vanquish 4 is light, fast, and perfect for gravel, hilly races, or anywhere that weight is at a premium (while offering aero performance that bests competitors' deeper rims). The Vanquish 8 is quite simply the fastest spoked wheel we've ever tested, in an aero class of its own. The V6 is a perfect middle-ground, with the best of both worlds.

All Vanquish wheels feature our own 545 Disc Brake hubs, which offer compatibility with all major drivetrains and axle sizes. All Vanquish rims are tubeless-ready, and should be used with a fully-threaded tubeless valve. Centerlock disc brake compatibility only.
