HED CYCLING
The new HED Stalingrad. The world’s first cast iron wheel.
Light doesn’t always mean right.
Ever wish you could soar down a mountain like Paolo (Il Falco) Salvodelli ? Are your descents as
slow as Beloki’s and equally as frightful ? Well fear not. Adhering to his philosophy of “optimal
wheel choice tailored for the factors inherent to each particular race” , Steve Hed has once again
forged ahead in developing a revolutionary new approach to wheel design. The Stalingrad.
In tribute to the Red Army - whose brave few (1.7 million) surrounded and steamrolled
the frozen remnants of the invading German 6th Army at Stalingrad - and, in keeping with
the success of our Bastogne wheel - we proudly offer the ultimate descent wheel. With
a weight just under 47 pounds, you too will be able to descend like a Russian submarine.
And when riders hear you rumble up behind them - demanding their surrender - you’ll
surely hear them mutter to each other “... get the hell out of the way, this guy is nuts...!”
