HED Belgium R Rim Brake Clincher Rim

The HED Belgium R Rim Brake takes everything riders loved about the Belgium Plus and improves it with modern features tailored to today’s wider tires and tubeless needs—all while keeping compatibility with traditional rim brake setups.

It features a 25mm external width and 21mm internal width, offering better tire support, comfort, and handling—especially with 25–32mm tires. Its tubeless-compatible construction allows lower pressure setups for smoother rides and improved puncture resistance.

Crafted from high-quality aluminum and welded for strength, the Belgium R is available in 24-hole and 28-hole options, making it ideal for road or gravel builds focused on reliability, weight savings, and modern tire tech.
