HED built the original Ardennes wheel around that go-anywhere demand more than 15 years ago, and the RA Pro has remained one of the brand's most popular products since — a wheelset built to hold up on pavement, cobbles, and gravel without asking a rider to choose one surface over another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim is aluminum, built with a 21mm internal width and 25mm external width, a profile HED designed to support everything from a 25mm road tire up to gravel tires well past 30mm wide on the same wheelset. That range is the point of the Ardennes line — rather than a wheel built for one narrow use case, this one is meant to move between a road ride, an all-road day, and a gravel outing without a tire or wheel swap in between. The wheelset is built for disc brakes with a Centerlock rotor interface, running on 12x100mm front and 12x142mm rear thru-axles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFront and rear wheels use different hubs tuned to their specific jobs: a HED Sonic 510 up front and a HED Sonic 545 in the rear, both running 6902 2RS radial bearings. The wheels lace with Sapim Race spokes in a J-bend, two-cross pattern — a proven, easily serviceable spoke setup rather than a proprietary straight-pull design, which matters if a spoke ever needs replacing on the road or trail far from a specialty bike shop. The complete wheelset weighs 1,545 grams (710 grams front, 835 grams rear), a reasonable weight for an alloy wheel built to prioritize durability and all-terrain versatility over shaving the last possible gram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHED offers the RA Pro with a Shimano HG, SRAM XDR, or Campagnolo 13-speed freehub, so the wheelset isn't locked to one drivetrain ecosystem — a rider can spec it to match whatever groupset is already on their bike rather than working around a fixed freehub standard. The whole wheelset is built in the USA at HED's Minnesota facility, a detail that matters to riders who care about where their equipment is actually made and who's accountable for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a wheelset for a rider who wants one dependable set of wheels for a genuinely wide range of riding — road miles, rougher all-road routes, and gravel sections — rather than a wheel optimized narrowly for racing or for one specific surface. For anyone building a versatile disc-brake road or all-road bike who values proven, serviceable componentry over the latest boutique technology, the Ardennes RA Pro remains one of HED's most trusted options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HED","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ Shimano","offer_id":43512635654188,"sku":"ALT-4123121","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XDR Driver","offer_id":43512635686956,"sku":"ALT-4123123","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/hed-ardennes-ra-pro-disc-brake-tubeless-wheelset-7628658.jpg?v=1771300353","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/hed-ardennes-ra-pro-disc-brake-tubeless-wheelset","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
