Hed Eroica all road wheels - claimed 1295g

[Lugan]

Hed has a new wheel that is 25mm internal width and shallow. Claiming 1295g. This is with 24 spokes F/R, and hubs that look like the usual nice but not super light from Hed. So then the rims must be under 350g, right? Comparing with Enve 3.4 AR at claimed 1417g with stock hubs and rims claimed at just under 400g each and same number of spokes.

Separately, I wonder how the unique surface shape of the rim will behave aerodynamically.

They look lovely but calling these cutting edge carbon wheels 'Eroica'... how does that play against the nothing-after-1987 ethos of actual Eroica events?

yeah it's not enforced (atleast stateside) that I have noticed, I've only done Eroica California.... but yeah 24spokes even on the alloy edition is not in the eroica fashion.

The Eroica shares a lot in common with the Raptor 29 rim and that is 380gram for a 28H.

Is this the lightest wide “gravel” carbon wheelset?
