Pushing Boundaries, Responsibly:
HUNT Wins the Design & Innovation Award 2025

Some moments make all the hard work, the late nights of testing, and the endless pursuit of perfection feel truly worthwhile. This is one of those moments. We’re incredibly proud to announce that our 40 Carbon Gravel Race Wheelset has been honored with the Design & Innovation Award 2025—a recognition that celebrates not only performance and innovation but also our deep commitment to a more sustainable future in cycling.
A Benchmark of Excellence
The Design & Innovation Award isn’t just another industry accolade. Often described as the "Oscars of the cycling world," it’s one of the most respected and rigorous awards in the industry. Each product is put through real-world testing by a panel of international journalists, professional riders, and industry experts, ensuring that only the most forward-thinking and truly game-changing designs receive this prestigious honor. To have our wheelset recognized on this stage is a moment of immense pride.
The 40 Carbon Gravel Race: Where Speed Meets Responsibility
When we set out to develop the 40 Carbon Gravel Race Wheelset, we wanted to create something that truly responded to the demands of modern gravel racing—light, fast, durable, and optimized for wide, high-volume tires. The result? A 40mm-deep, aerodynamically refined, and hookless rim profile that strikes the perfect balance between speed and stability. With a total wheelset weight of just over 1400 grams, it’s built for those who push the limits, whether on the start line or deep into a backcountry adventure.
But performance alone isn’t enough. We firmly believe that the future of cycling must be sustainable, and that means rethinking the materials we use and the impact they have on our planet. That’s why the 40 Carbon Gravel Race incorporates our innovative H_Cyclo technology, a pioneering step towards more sustainable carbon wheel construction. By utilizing recyclable resin and carbon fiber, we’re not just creating a high-performance wheelset—we’re actively reducing its environmental footprint.
Innovation without Compromise
Winning the Design & Innovation Award 2025 is more than just an achievement; it’s validation of our mission to create cutting-edge cycling products while taking responsibility for the impact they have on the world. It proves that performance and sustainability don’t have to be at odds—they can, and should, go hand in hand.
This award fuels our drive to continue pushing boundaries, refining technology, and championing sustainability in everything we do. We’re beyond grateful for the recognition and even more excited for what’s to come.
To every rider who has trusted us, challenged us, and inspired us—this award is for you. Let’s keep riding forward, together.
