Pluses
- • One of the lightest wheels for its price and rim depth.
- • Well thought out hub for the money. Exceptional spokes. Sapim CX Ray aero
- • HED’s patented full carbon Deep Toroid aero rim shape.
- • PowerTap version available.
Considerations
- • Tubular only.
- • Does not have a dedicated carbon braking track and braking modulation is not smooth compared to other carbon rim options.
- • No aero dimples…
The Stinger 9 takes all of the solid value found in the Stinger 4 and 6 (see detailed review here) in a deeper package to maximize aerodynamics while still maintaining a spoked design. At 90mm deep, the Stinger 9 benefits a fast and powerful rider who is relatively immune to side winds. While it does not have all the details of some other deep section wheels, at around $1600, it is a great value priced option.
Who is it for? The powerful rider on a budget who is looking to go deep or go home and who values the aerodynamic experience of a company who has spent as much time in the wind tunnel as anyone and far more than most.
