The Trail Wide is your go-to wheelset no matter the conditions. Optimised to still take the A-lines on the descents and not hold you back on the climbs.

The Purpose

After almost three years of unwavering service on the toughest trails, with numerous awards and recognitions along the way, the restless design team at HUNT saw an opportunity to update the Trail Wide wheelset to meet the evolving demands of today’s riders.

Starting with what we learnt around profile optimisation from the burlier Enduro Wide V2 project, we set out to improve upon its lighter sibling, not an easy task with an Editor’s Choice-winning wheelset.

Combining the all-new 30mm internal rim profile, with new hubs and spoke configurations, results in a wheel that keeps the outward appearance of it's predecessor yet provide 20% more impact resistance.

Designed as the answer to your trail centre weekends, back country epics or days spent smashing through your local woods - a wheelset that can do it all and leave you with a big grin.

Warranty, Support and Weight Limits

A full 3 years from purchase date warranty is offered to the original purchaser only on all Hunt bike wheels against material or workmanship defects, please click here to read full details.

All HUNT wheels models have to pass our harsh rolling-drum fatigue tests for rider weight limits, please see here for more details. 264lbs is the upper recommended rider weight limit for these wheels. Please include the weight of any luggage in your total rider weight when choosing the correct wheels. If a rider is over 240lbs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use tires at max 40psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset.

Schwalbe Hans Dampf Snake Skin Tubeless Tyres

Schwalbe Hans Dampf 2.35" Snake Skin Soft Front / Rear

The Hans Dampf is one of the most balanced tires out there. Providing superior control on rough terrain as well as amazing grip in flowy singletrack, the Hans Dampf is the best kind of all-rounder. The high-volume casing offers maximum braking traction and cornering grip for when the trail becomes aggressive. But when gravity stops working its magic, the Hans Dampf will not leave you behind. The continuous tread pattern is closely spaced meaning that this tire tracks well and has a lower rolling resistance over more aggressive options.

Choose this tire combo for your Trail Wide wheels if you want an all-round option for your aggressive XC or trail bike. We love this tire when the trails are a little dryer and demand a faster rolling option.

Reviews

Bike Magazine and Website Experts' Views

	Pinkbike Review "The latest version of Hunt's Trail Wide wheels do exactly what they're supposed to - they're decent wheels at a good price that are gimmick-free."
	Singletracks Review "All of this is to say that the Hunt Trail Wides have been a great wheel set and an easy upgrade for a lot of folks."
	Bike Perfect 4.5/5 Review "Same excellent ride quality, big tire support and an increase in rim toughness make Hunt’s Trail Wide V2 an even better-value wheel proposition"
	4.5/5 Review "The Hunt Trail Wide 29 wheelset is a well-designed, well-made, and well-priced wheelset."
	10/10 REVIEW "Lighter than most of the carbon wheels on test, the Trail Wides feel fast on the trail, and change direction rapidly. They also spin well with smooth, quality bearings and accelerate crisply under power. The rear wheel's super-fast engagement reacts as soon as you turn on the power at the crank, which is a real advantage for technical, stop-start climbing as well."
	4.5/5 REVIEW "These wheels area a brilliant balance of smooth speed, accuracy and userful toughness, outriding many carbon competitors at a price that's a steal." See full review in the images above.
