H+Son Archetype All-Rounder Rim – 700C

The H+Son Archetype is one of the most versatile road rims available, trusted by wheel builders for everything from lightweight road bikes to fixed gear, gravel, urban, and touring builds. Its classic V-profile delivers an excellent balance of strength, stiffness, and ride quality, making it a dependable choice for everyday riding or performance wheelsets.

At just 470 grams, the Archetype offers an ideal combination of low weight and durability without compromising reliability. The welded joint ensures a smooth, strong rim, while the machined braking surface provides consistent braking performance with rim brakes.

The black anodized finish will naturally wear over time, revealing a raw aluminum brake track. The hard grey anodized finish is more durable and resists wear longer. For the best performance with the hard anodized finish, we recommend using pink brake pads.
