2026 HED Vanquish Pro

The Vanquish Pro Series is HED’s most advanced wheelset, a full carbon, disc brake specific platform engineered for world-class performance and handmade in the U.S.A.

Proven Speed.

Every Vanquish Pro rim is molded and finished by hand in Minnesota. From raw carbon layup to quality control, each wheel passes through multiple stages of inspection to ensure elite-level performance. The result? A fast, stable, rim built on more than 35 years of HED’s aerodynamic leadership.

HED’s Fastest Wheel. Ever.

The Vanquish Pro Series delivers unmatched aerodynamic efficiency. These wheels are designed to cut through the wind and deliver a fast experience from start to finish.

Built for Disc Brakes.

Designed exclusively for disc brakes, each wheel features HED's Pro Centerlock hubs and a tubeless-compatible rim bed. The internal width pairs with today’s wider road tires, reducing rolling resistance while improving grip and control, even in crosswinds.

Lead Time

Vanquish Pro wheels ship within 3-4 days.

Additional Feature:

Vanquish Benefits //

• Stable crosswind handling characteristics were retained to greater than 70% of typical cycling yaw angles
• 25mm-28mm tires are optimal for performance
• Patented Rim Profiles

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 = 70psi MAX

3. Freehub Note: *Campagnolo requires a longer lockring to safely secure 10/11/12 speed cassettes to N3W freehubs. Cassette dimensions vary, not all Campy cassettes will work with the N3W body on Hed hubs.
