HED’s newest GT3 will be available in the coming months. It stands for the “Grand Tour 3.” There are a lot of cool things about this wheel but let me know break it down to a few fun facts.
– I asked HED if we could sell this wheel and they said they didn’t have any because they had a huge shipment going out to a Pro Tour Team got immediate use. This team is not sponsored by HED officially. (cool)
– 26.5mm wide rim. This was a much needed move. The H3 was 19mm wide and desperately needed to be updated to meet HED’s wider = equals better mantra.
– 46.5mm deep rim compared to 54mm H3, a little shallower to increase it’s versatility in different conditions. HED is building on the idea that road racers loved that the HED H3 was their tt wheel when they didn’t know what to use.
– Valve hole is now traditional from the top of the rim instead of the side (super nice change). Tubular front only for now.
