What is Ardennes Plus? In a few words, it’s our award-winning Ardennes… plus some awesome.
The Ardennes Plus takes what the Ardennes did – and does it better. Rimwidth grew from 23mm to 25mm. A new rim extrusion means that thewheels are still incredibly light. Lateral stiffness has gone up, whilethe smooth ride quality got an extra layer of buttery smoothness.
Ardennes Plus is offered in several versions. Ardennes Black is thetop-of-the-line with outstanding Turbine Braking Technology andall-black appearance. SL swaps out for silver hubs and CNC machinedbraking surfaces, but keeps the high-end spokes, bearings, and overallconstruction. LT has slightly heavier hub shells and spokes than SL,but with all of the quality you expect from Hed. CL is theburly-and-classic do-it-all version, with traditional flange hubs andlacing to tackle your next gravel race or cobblestone-laden road.
All are compatible with tubeless or tube-type tires, and can be builtwith a Powertap rear hub for those that wish. We also offer the SLversion with disc-brake compatible hubs and rims.
