Hed Raptor 27.5' MTB Wheels

27.5+ is here to stay, and we’re here to dominate it.

With new bikes, new wheel sizes, and new options, every rider can have the perfect ride around their local terrain. More and more people are seeing the benefits of larger tires, and plus-size (3-inch) tires are finding a niche between fat bikes and skinny 2 - 2.5” mountain bike tires.

Since we can’t seem to do anything half way, we wanted to bring out the widest, lightest, and most durable all-carbon rim for your 27.5+ rig – the Raptor.

With a width of 45 millimeters and an astounding rim weight of 430 grams, the Raptor will shock you with its speed. No longer must your plus-sized bike be heavy, slow, and lumbering – let the Raptor inject some True Speed into your trail ride.

I don't own a MTB bike currently, but as soon as I'm able to own one I'm going to replace the wheels with these. I have a set of Ardennes and Jets and I couldn't be happier with them. I'll ride HED for as long as I'm able to ride. Keep up the good work of innovation and experimentation!

I used the HED Big Deal with 4" tubeless tires  on my Framed Alaska expedition in Congo Rainforest basis to great success.  Zero problems in a place 10, 000 miles away from decent bicycle shop.  Now back in local dirt, I'm interested in swapping wheel sets to these slightly narrower fatties for day trip action.
