The HUNT 40 Carbon Gravel wheelset brings together cutting-edge technology and sustainability to create an impressive package for gravel racers.

"Fast? Lightweight? Quick to accelerate? Responsive? Aero? Check, check, check, check, and check"

Hunt went all-out to lower the weight of its mid-depth wheelset with the Sub50, offering carbon spokes as an option and a redesigned, lighter ratchet freehub. It's retained the wide profile and aero optimisation and you can pick CeramicSpeed bearings if you value the lowest friction."

The Hunt Sub50 Limitless Aero Disc Wheelset is an all-round winning recipe now lighter and even faster

It feels fast and agile, yet stable in crosswinds, and as lively and entertaining as far more expensive wheels. It can even hold a candle to many more expensive wheelsets in terms of enviable ride quality.

How the rim interacts with a tyre is important. A wider rim tends to support tyres to a squatter, wider shape, which can then interact more efficiently with the rim behind it – especially if they line up externally. In the case of the Hunt 50 Carbon Disc that meant a 700 x 28c Continental GP5000 S TR tyres inflated to 29.8mm wide, bringing a smoother interaction between tyre and rim.

“The HUNT 60 Limitless UD Carbon Spoke Aero Disc Wheelset with Ceramic Speed are a very solid performing set of deep section wheels. The weight is competitive, they handle well in crosswinds, and they accelerate rapidly. "

“All in, I can’t fault the Sub50s. They are fast, they are light and they also look great... Plus, along with Hunt's other Limitless and Aerodynamicist wheels, the Sub50s are covered by Hunt’s H_Care warranty, which gives the original owner free lifetime crash replacement or repair."

“The HUNT 40 Carbon Gravel Race wheels simply felt solid. The mid-depth rim felt both supportive and laterally stiff, but it didn’t feel overly harsh. Much of this was due to the tires, but I did feel that the HUNT rims balanced aerodynamics, efficiency, and compliance in a ratio that fit all-road riding well."

“HUNT Bike Wheel has seemingly solved the Rubik’s cube, allowing the brand to recycle traditional thermoset carbon wheels back into materials that can form other carbon parts”

"I’ve not tried anything better at this price point, and am comparing to the performance of wheels in our recent group test that cost two, even three times as much."

"From their inception, Hunt has developed products with long term support in mind, including interchangeable components and spare parts stocked back to their earliest models, to maximize product lifespan."
