2026 HED Jet Rc Black Series (Rim Brake)
HEDThe Stealthy Jet RC Black wheels build on 30 years of iconic performance that set the industry standard for aerodynamics and handling.
Compared to traditional alloy wheels, the aero benefit of the Jets will give you an immediate bump in speed. Durability is unmatched we’re in our third decade of producing these carbon/alloy classics. Their aero performance is thoroughly modern; the first modern UCI Worlds TT win on clinchers was on Jet 9/Jet disc. Internal rim width has been 21mm since 2014. The crosswind handling is superb. And braking? As we note on our Ardennes Black page:
HED’s patented system features a textured, all-black braking surface. This detailed design increases brake power in both wet and dry conditions. When it is dry, brakes have more power, so you can stop more quickly with much less force at the brake lever. When the roads get wet, HED’s Turbine Braking Technology keeps water away from the braking surface, drastically outperforming regular alloy or carbon rims - so you can stop more quickly with less force at the brake lever.
For rim brake performance and speed, Jet Blacks are unbeatable.
Rim Brake Braking Performance
Jet RC Black wheels feature HED’s Turbine Braking Technology, a textured all-black braking surface that improves brake response.
If you want modern aerodynamic performance with the power and feel of rim brakes, the Jet RC Black series is in a class of its own.
Key Features
- Handbuilt in the U.S.A.
- Alloy rim with carbon aero fairing
- Rim depths from 38mm up to Aero Disc
- Black Turbine Braking Technology for superior wet/dry control
Technical Notes:
1. For all types of bicycle wheels, a hard strike on the rim is likely to result in rim damage. At the point of impact, an aluminum rim will dent, and a carbon rim may delaminate - both are unsafe conditions that require rim replacement.
2. Tire pressure = 80psi MAX
3. We do NOT recommend hanging a bike equipped with Jet wheels from hooks - this can damage the carbon skin and will not be covered under warranty.
