Top Features of the HED H3D FR Carbon Tubular Front Wheel
How do you improve on the best? You build the H3D that's what you do. The H3D is built by applying the HED Jet 9 aero rim section to the standard H3.
- Alloy Clincher or Full carbon Tubular
- 19mm rim width profile
- Fits the narrowest bike frames
- Fastest wheel option for non disc wheel races
- Rider weight limit 250lbs
- Weight: 980g
- Road
- Weight (g): 980
- Wheel Size: 700c (622)
Why ride the H3D vs. the standard H3? There are two particular scenarios where the H3D has an advantage over the H3.
1. Used as a front wheel the H3D is faster than the H3 out to 10 degrees of wind yaw angle. Generally this means that 25mph and faster riders will get a benefit from the H3D because at these speeds yaw angles are generally low. At higher yaw angles the H3 is a faster wheel which is why for the majority of triathletes where speeds are 25mph and less the H3 still tends to have an advantage.
2. When used as a rear wheel the H3D has been proven to faster than any other rear wheel besides a disc. This has been proven over the course of many full bike and rider tests. This makes the rear H3D the ideal choice for events where disc wheels are not allowed or if you that prefer the ride and lighter feel of non disc wheels. It is believed that the blades of the H3 actually help to correct yaw angle winds in the rear of the bike and thus show results that are better than their wheel alone data.
Having only been in formal production for 1 year the H3D has been ridden to countless victories including the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, World Championships, numerous national TT championships, multiple Ironman races, multiple half Ironman races, and a complete domination on the track at the Six Day races.
What more is there to say besides where shall we ship your pair?
Please Note: These wheels may contain small marks on hubs however please be aware this is an inherent trait of using a lighter, higher grade carbon. All HED wheels have a "raw" un-lacquered finish. HED are a purely performance orientated company and do not alter or add anything to their wheels that is unnecessary.
About the HED brand
Some time in 1985 Steve Hed emerged blinking from the gloom of his garage with a prototype aero wheel in his hand. Twenty-five years, hundreds of hours of wind tunnel testing and dozens of top-level professional victories later, we’re making the fastest wheels in the world. In the past three years alone, the winners of all three Grand Tours and the winner of the Hawaii Ironman have won on HED wheels. As every serious cyclist knows, wheels are a major source of drag. How do you lower that drag? That’s where HED comes in. We have gathered a frankly mind-blowing amount of data from both wind tunnel and real-world testing. We’ve exhaustively measured variables like rolling resistance, crosswind handling, cornering and wheel stiffness and factored them all into the equation. OK, so Steve doesn’t build them in his garage any more, but every HED wheel is hand made by our expert wheelbuilders in Shoreview, Minnesota. Although our wheels are constantly evolving as we gain more knowledge, the top-quality workmanship that goes into making them will never change.
