2026 HED Vanquish

Vanquish V45 & V62

Designed by the same minds and handmade by the same hands that created the Vanquish Pro series, this wallet-friendly option offers the same aerodynamic rim profile and performance edge as our pro line at a price point that saves room in the budget for a few equally fast kits. Going fast is about drag reduction AND predictability.

Get ready to turn heads at the next group ride.

FEATURES:

• Handmade in the USA
• Rim depth options of 45mm and 62mm
• 22.4mm Internal Width, 30.9mm External Width Rims
• HED GP Performance Centerlock Disc Brake Hubs
• Tubeless Compatible

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

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. We do NOT recommend hanging a bike equipped with Vanquish wheels from hooks - this can damage the carbon skin and will not be covered under warranty.

HED Engineering Team:

The next generation of Vanquish wheels performed remarkably in the wind tunnel. Across the line we saw improvements in stability while keeping drag to a minimum. Riders can expect a consistent push forward from their new wheels and at the same time count on stable crosswind handling characteristics.
