2026 HED Jet Rc Performance Series (Rim Brake)

The Jet RC Performance Series brings real-world aero speed to riders who demand performance, value, and reliability. Featuring HED’s legendary rim design and hybrid carbon/alloy construction, these wheels deliver aerodynamic gains with everyday durability. Ideal for road racing, triathlon, and high-mileage training.

Wide Rim Innovation, Still Leading

In 2007, HED pioneered the wide rim movement with the original Jet Plus, featuring a 21mm internal width. Today, that legacy continues with Jet RC Performance wheels. With modern tire compatibility, stable crosswind handling, and low rolling resistance, this platform is built to win.

Carbon Speed, Rim Brake Control

The Jet RC Performance Series pairs a carbon aero fairing with an alloy brake track for confident, consistent braking in all conditions. Unlike full carbon clinchers, these wheels deliver brake performance without the heat or performance issues seen in carbon brake tracks.

Options for Every Rider

Choose from multiple rim depths to match your riding style:

• Jet RC4 (38mm):Lightweight and responsive
• Jet RC6 (60mm):Versatile all-around aero
• Jet RC9 (90mm):Maximum aero for time trials and triathlon
• Jet RCD (Disc):Full aero rear disc option

Key Features

• Handbuilt in the U.S.A.
• Rim brake only
• Carbon fairing with alloy braking surface
• 21mm internal / 25mm external rim width
• Tubeless-compatible design

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.

The Revolutionary HED Jet.

When it comes to carbon race wheels, the wide rim revolution startedhere. In 2007, when it was more common to see bike wheels with 17mminternal widths and tires only 23mm wide, Steve Hed stunned the industryby introducing the HED Jet Plus. Featuring an internal width of 21mmand prepared to host a wide range of tire options, the legacy of the JetPlus now lives on through our entire line of Jet RC Performance wheels.

With rim depth options of 40mm, 60mm, 90mm and a full aero disc, theJet RC Performance line offers versatility and performance for everyone.Our Jet RC Performance wheels are ideal for nearly any style of riding,and if you’ve gndset on competition, fly through your nextcriterium, road race or triathlon with ease.

These wheels are the best of both worlds: high-end carbon race wheelswith the comfort and durability of high-end alloy wheels. HED’ssignature aluminum brake track, in direct opposition to the carbon braketracks used by other wheel companies, provides consistent brakingperformance without any of the concerns you would have with other carbonclinchers on the market.

Handmade in the U.S.A. and at a more accessible price point, the JetRC Performance line is ready for takeoff. Ready for your pursuit.
