The HED Belgium C2 Tubular disc brake rim allows cyclocross riders to build their dream wheels. By not having a rim brake surface, the HED Belgium Tubular Disc rim can shed some serious weight. In fact, it tips the scales at 385 grams or 65 grams lighter than its rim brake cousin. It goes without saying, that due to the lack of a rim brake surface, you will need to match these rims to disc brake compatible hubs for a bike that employs disc brakes.

The shape of C2 give it a couple more big benefits in addition to being aerodynamic. The wider profile combined with a hard aluminum alloy makes the C2 a very strong rim. High rim strength means less truing and less worry if you happen to hit a few bumps from time to time.

Perhaps the most talked about benefit of the C2 is how it contributes to both better ride quality and more solid handling. It does this by better supporting the tire with reduced tire deflection in corners. So say goodbye to squishy, squirrelly cornering and rail descents with confidence. Improved tire alignment over the rim allow lower tire pressure. All the benefits of the C2 make it a fantastic choice for cyclocross use.
