Description

Balanced aerodynamic performance

A 45 mm rim depth provides aerodynamic benefit while remaining stable in crosswinds. This makes the HBRD 45 a versatile choice for riders who want speed without the more aggressive handling of deeper rims.

This depth delivers:

• Improved aerodynamic efficiency
• Stable handling in variable wind conditions
• Responsive acceleration
• Confidence during long rides

Modern wide rim platform

The 26 mm internal rim width and 31.5 mm external width are designed for modern tyre sizes and lower pressures.

Benefits include:

• Better tyre support and shape
• Increased grip and control
• Improved comfort on rough roads and mixed terrain

The rims are hooked clincher tubeless compatible, allowing riders to run either tubeless tyres or traditional clincher setups.

Reliable ratchet hub system

The wheelset uses the MT082 hub with Ratchet 36T engagement, delivering fast and reliable power transfer.

Hub features include:

• Centerlock disc brake interface
• Straight-pull spoke design
• Reliable ratchet engagement system
• SRAM XDR freehub body

This ensures smooth power delivery and dependable performance in demanding riding conditions.

Built for durability

The HBRD 45 uses Pillar 1423 straight-pull spokes combined with brass nipples, creating a strong and durable wheel structure.

This construction provides:

• Long-term spoke tension stability
• Strong and durable wheel structure
• Reliable performance over high mileage
