Rock crushing, wind cheating.

The Stinger 5 Flame Rouge Tubular delivers a distinct aerodynamic advantage with plenty of durability for rough roads and muddy 'cross conditions.

To achieve this balance, HED uses a 50mm profile with their proprietary Stability Control Technology shaping process. This unique design has proven its merits in the wind tunnel and out on the road, reducing drag without sacrificing handling in crosswinds. The widest point of the profile measures a full 28mm for outstanding stiffness and further stability. An extra wide 23mm rim bed reduces drag even more when paired with a 23mm wide tire. The result is an incredibly fast yet stable wheel that won't let you down when the going gets tough.

The Stinger wheels use HED's exclusive Sonic FR front hub featuring a carbon shell, alloy flanges and smooth rolling cartridge bearings. A 12mm oversized axle and extra-wide flange spacing are used to reduce spoke flex and improve lateral compliance. 18 ultra-light Sapim CX Ray bladed spokes are laced radially to further rigidity, weight reduction and efficiency.

The claimed weight for the Stinger 5 Flame Rouge Tubular Front Wheel is 680 grams. The minimum recommended tire width is 22mm. 700c. Black rim with Silver spokes/hub flanges.

Note: This wheel is sold individually. Because many riders prefer wheelsets with non-matching rim depths, a rear wheel must be purchased separately. If you would like to pair this wheel with a HED rear wheel that is not currently listed online, please contact us for specific availability.
