{"product_id":"hed-vanquish-v62-disc-wheelset","title":"HED Vanquish V62 Disc Brake Wheelset","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHED Vanquish V62 Disc Brake Wheelset\u003c\/strong\u003e is the rare wheel that delivers genuine aero performance without asking you to spend at the absolute top of the market. HED's engineers and builders — the same team behind the Vanquish Pro series — applied identical aerodynamic thinking to this wheelset. The 62mm rim profile is not a compromise version of something better. It's the same shape, tuned to the same crosswind stability targets, built by the same hands in Roseville, Minnesota.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim geometry reflects how serious cyclists actually ride. At 22.4mm internal and 30.9mm external width, the V62 is built for modern tire sizing — 25mm to 28mm tubeless is the sweet spot, and the rim-to-tire transition supports that range cleanly for both aerodynamics and handling. HED's wind tunnel data shows crosswind stability retained at more than 70% of typical cycling yaw angles, which translates directly to confidence when the wind picks up mid-ride or mid-race. This is a wheel you can lean on in variable conditions, not just one that looks fast on a calm day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hubs are HED's GP Performance Centerlock disc units — 13.3° engagement with EZO Precision Bearings. That engagement is quick enough to feel responsive on accelerations out of corners or punchy group ride surges without the mechanical noise of ultra-tight engagement systems. Combined with a 24\/24 spoke count and a wheelset weight of 1,719g, the V62 is built to perform through a full season, not just a few race days. Tubeless compatibility is standard — set it up with sealant and run lower pressures for better grip and reduced rolling resistance on varied road surfaces. HED backs the build with a 5-year warranty, underscoring the confidence that comes from 40 years of American wheel manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"design_benefits\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e62mm aero rim profile\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same aerodynamic shape engineered for the Vanquish Pro series, developed in the wind tunnel and validated on course by elite triathletes and roadies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide modern rim geometry\u003c\/strong\u003e — 22.4mm internal width optimizes airflow with 25–28mm tires, improving both aerodynamics and ride quality compared to narrower legacy profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrosswind stability at 70%+ of typical yaw angles\u003c\/strong\u003e — HED's wind tunnel testing confirms the V62 maintains stable, predictable handling in crosswinds, not just in ideal conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTubeless ready\u003c\/strong\u003e — run lower pressures, reduce rolling resistance, and get natural puncture protection without the weight penalty of latex tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHED GP Performance hubs\u003c\/strong\u003e — 13.3° engagement and EZO Precision Bearings deliver responsive power transfer and smooth rolling with long-term durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e — built by HED's team in Minnesota with the same craftsmanship applied to their pro-level race wheels since 1984\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFinal Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HED Vanquish V62 sits at an interesting point in the wheel market: genuine pro-level aerodynamics, USA handbuilt quality, and tubeless compatibility at a price that leaves room in the budget. If a 62mm deep-section carbon disc wheel is what your riding calls for — whether that's triathlon, fast group rides, or road racing — the V62 delivers without compromise on the things that actually matter on course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HED","offers":[{"title":"HG11 (Shimano \/ SRAM 11s)","offer_id":43902590418988,"sku":"V6GP-2341-WS","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XDR Driver","offer_id":43902590451756,"sku":"V6GP-2343-WS","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/hed-vanquish-v62-disc-brake-wheelset-3504914.jpg?v=1771294097","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/hed-vanquish-v62-disc-wheelset","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
