Mason X Hunt Bikes

The Story Behind: MASON x HUNT

MASON X HUNT

The MASON x HUNT relationship is one which regularly features in the HUNT Journal. It is a relationship borne from the foundation of shared values. With a total of three wheelsets paying homage to a relationship built on similar values, we think it worth delving into how MASON x HUNT came to be.

CASSETTE #13

Step into the Mason barn and the first thing you’ll notices aside from the stunning Bokeh, Definition and Resolution bikes lined up is the amount of inspiration hanging, leaning and positioned on the 300-year-old walls. We reached out to Dom and asked him to compile a list of 5 Songs which he makes bikes too.

This year the staple to Dom’s line up received a bit of a make-over. The bike now includes all of the latest technology to keep up with Mason’s “Make Progress” mantra.

Hunt 650B AdventureCarbon and AdventureDynamo Wheels

NEW 650B WHEELS: ADVENTURECARBON & ADVENTUREDYNAMO

HUNT's 650B Range

The advent of 650B/27.5" has transformed how we see adventure bikes. Rivalling cyclocross bikes for efficiency, and cross-country mountain bikes for versatility, this wheel size speaks beyond their smaller size. Paired with a 2.0"/50mm tyre, the outside diameter will equate to that of a 700C wheel with a 28mm tyre - a feature that the latest gravel and adventure bikes take huge advantage of. 

Seeing these real-world ride benefits, and following popular demand, we have designed two completely new wheels with a go-anywhere, do-anything attitude. Introducing the no-compromise, super lightweight HUNT AdventureCarbon Disc, and the #FastFar MASON x HUNT 650B AdventureDynamo Disc wheels to light up your multi-day escapades...

READER'S RIDE: Sam's Neil Pryde

Many moons ago, bikes were simple in their appearance often only with their maker's name adorning the downtube and maybe a stripe or two. And OpenDev rider Sam McCallum's ride is no different - but that is where a homage to the past stops for Sam's Neil Pryde Bura SL.

We recently featured the Bombtrack Hook EXT-C, but for this weeks Reader's Ride, we are going to shake it up a little and delve into a very specific setup. This week's rig is what Hunt-supported adventure rider, Joachim Rosenlund, used to complete his first 550-mile Scottish Highland Trail epic in 5days, 18hours and 18minutes.

There are many secrets behind aerodynamic testing, but there is also one major oversight made when searching for those elusive #aero gains. That is, what songs are scientifically proven to be more aerodynamic than others. That's right, you heard it here first...
