What is Ardennes Plus? In a few words, it’s our award-winning Ardennes… plus some awesome. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />Ardennes Plus – for when you want a wheel to get the job done, no questions asked.<br /><br /><br /><ul> <li><strong>Rim Type</strong>Tubeless-ready clincher</li> <li><strong>Rim Depth</strong>24.5mm</li> <li><strong>Rim Width</strong>25mm</li> <li><strong>Internal Rim Width</strong>20.7mm</li> <li><strong>Braking Surface</strong>Standard CNC alloy</li> <li><strong>Recommended Brake Pad</strong>Standard alloy pad</li> <li><strong>Hub Model</strong>Hed Sonic black</li> <li><strong>Hub Compatibility</strong>Shimano 9, 10, 11</li> <li><strong>Build and Spokes</strong>18/24 std </li> <li><strong>Spoke Type</strong>Sapim CX-Ray</li> <li><strong>Wheel size</strong>700c</li> <li><strong>Wheel Set Weight</strong>1,485g</li> <li><strong>Powertap Option</strong>YES</li> <li><strong>Recommended Tire Size</strong>22mm+</li> <li><strong>Includes</strong>Steel Skewers,Tubeless Rim Tape</li></ul>
