Introducing the 25mm Plus Rim Design in the HED Jet RC6 Performance
Perhaps the most versatile wheels in the entire Hed line, the Jet series got even sweeter for 2014. How so? The 4, 6, 9, and disc all received our new 25mm Plus rim design, just like the Ardennes Plus. This rim section is the next evolution of C2 technology, which broke ground in 2007 with a 23mm-wide rim. Wide rims carry a host of benefits including better aerodynamics, better handling, and increased tire volume for improved ride quality and rolling speed. Riders everywhere are choosing fatter tires, and HED Plus rims are the perfect match.
The Jet RC6 Performance is ideal for almost any style of riding: road race, criterium, triathlon, Gran Fondo, or whatever you can throw at it. The 60mm deep rim and Stability Control Technology result in stable handling and a big dose of True Speed. The Jet RC6 Performance can be used as a front/rear matched pair or in combination with other rims, such as a front Jet 4 or rear Jet 9.
What happens when you combine the world’s fastest clincher wheels with unbelievable wet and dry braking? What if you add a murdered-out all-black appearance that would make Batman jealous? Two words: Jet Black
Revolutionizing Braking Performance of the Jet RC6 Performance
Starting from HED's revolutionary 25mm-wide Jet Plus aluminum rim, hundreds of hours were spent testing and refining a new braking surface, called Turbine Braking Technology. With special machining and anodizing, the result a super clean all-black appearance and outstanding brake performance. How great is it? How about 25% shorter stopping distances in dry conditions or 70% shorter stopping distances in wet conditions? Additionally, the consistency of stopping distances has improved by nearly a factor of five. That’s not a typo.
