More pro race wins than you can count, three carbon spokes, one iconic wheel. That's the HED H3 in numbers. Here's another one: a certain American used the HED H3 in all seven of his Tour de France wins.
The HED H3 is for riders who want the superior aero performance of a composite wheel and want to keep things as light as possible. The 55mm deep-section rim, with its smooth transitions into the three airfoil-section spokes, keeps drag low in all wind conditions, while for the tubular version the weight is just 1,500g per pair - not too long ago the benchmark figure for a set of lightweight spoked wheels.
The HED H3 rim, spokes and hub are co-moulded in a single process, which makes for a super-stiff wheel with incredible strength. It will literally last for years - for evidence, just look at the amount of ancient HED tri-spokes still in service at local events every weekend.
So where does it figure in your wheel strategy? The HED H3 as a front wheel, paired with a HED disc, is a devastatingly fast, race-proven package, if you�re after flat-out speed. As a pair, the HED H3 offers unrivalled versatility no matter what the gradient and the wind direction.
The HED H3 is made in two versions - for tubular or for clincher. For the tubular rim version there's a choice of an all-carbon rim or an alloy rim, depending on how you like your braking surface. The clincher rim version has a lightweight, durable alloy rim only.
