hed Stinger 69 C2 Wheelset

< Stinger 6 | Jet 69 | Stinger 9>

As far as aero wheels are concerned, the new Stinger 6 marks the start of a new era. After modeling the wheel, we made prototypes and spent a full 10 days in the wind tunnel to test and perfect it, and came out the other side with a brand new rim profile. This is not evolution, with just a few tweaks here and an extra millimeter there. It is more like when a comet killed the dinosaurs and paved the way for mammals. At 15º wind angle the new Stinger has 100g less drag than the ’08 model. When we ran the final prototypes the drag numbers were so low that we asked the tunnel technicians to re-check the calibration on the balance mechanism to make sure the numbers we saw were correct. They were.

Tunnel numbers… all well and good, but what about out in the real world? What is the effect of 100g drag reduction and a 15º stall angle? Well, -100g drag is easy. The wheels are faster, period. And a 15º stall angle? That means Stinger 6s go faster in a wider range of wind conditions than ever before. When side winds kick up, your wheels will still go fast, and they will handle very well. The new shape is such an improvement that the 60mm deep Stinger 6 handles more like a 45mm deep wheel in a crosswind.

So where might you see the Stinger 9 wheel in action? Last year Stinger 9's were used on the professional level to win Ironman races, criteriums, and road races. As a testament to their durability they were even used in the cobbled classics of Paris Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders without a single failure. As a rear wheel they can be used by anyone. As a front wheel they are a good choice for athletes that ride at 25mph or faster in light and medium wind conditions. For those athletes that are riding 25mph or less the front wheel should be reserved for days when the winds are light. Use of our wind yaw calculator can help you determine what is ideal for you.
