Chris King HED Belgium R Disc Wheelset - Steel

Why We Make This

It's a wide-rimmed wheel for all-road riders who like the durability and affordability of alloy wheels, and also like to go fast. HED pioneered these wider rims as a way to maintain comfort while getting a bit of aerodynamic benefit at the same time. The Belgium is the original all-road rim, and this latest iteration continues to check all our boxes for what a performance, alloy, all-road rim should be.

Why You Want It

You want a wheel that rips on paved surfaces but can also get rowdy in the dirt. That's just how you are. The Belgium R has a 25mm rim width, so it plays nice with all your all-road tires. It's a little aero and a lot versatile.

Our R45 Centerlock™ hubs pair a lightweight hub body with our legendary, made-in-house bearings. They give you 45 points of simultaneous engagement, and that means more of your power gets to the ground and your traction is better. These hubs just roll better, last longer, and looks way more handsome than anything else out there. The stiffness of our one-piece axle translates to laser-precise bike handling.

Our bearings, both steel and ceramic, have heat-treated, surgical grade steel races that are machined simultaneously to ensure perfect matching. The quality and speed of our bearings is what you will feel (and hear) on every ride. As Chris King bearing tracks burnish they get actually get faster. A little bit of regular love (i.e. service) will keep this hub rolling for years upon years of demanding use.

This wheelset comes with the legendary angry-bee sound and you can choose from a bunch of sharp hub colors, including basic black.
