40 DEEP | 30 WIDE EXT | 25 WIDE INT | 1,270g (Including POWERSHIFT rear hub shell)
The Purpose
The HUNT 40 Carbon Gravel Race wheelset was built to meet the needs of the gravel racer and rider. With the integration of a Classified Powershift rear hub shell, we’re able to pack even more industry-leading design to into this versatile and fast, best-selling gravel wheelset.
Wide and lightweight 40mm-deep hookless rims offer durability, quick acceleration and aerodynamic efficiency, intended for use with modern width gravel race tires. With an integrated Powershift rear hub, your riding will benefit from the wide gearing range and functionality of a front derailleur and 2x drivetrain, while enjoying the simplicity and aero benefits of a 1x setup.
Long-time advocates of tubeless technology for riding on and off-road, HUNT’s development into hookless rims began back in 2016. With the 40 Carbon Gravel Race rim development, we were able to push the boundaries of rim weight-saving further, bringing the final rim weights to a mere 395g. As well as having that performance benefit, due to a simpler manufacturing process, hookless rims can be produced with less waste, resulting in a cost reduction which can be passed on to riders.
Wide, tubeless, ETRTO-compliant hookless rims, laced to the Powershift rear hub shell for a lightweight gravel-specific wheel system ready to go the distance in your next gravel race or fast ride.

These wheels have been designed to provide the superior balance between a laterally responsive and lightweight package. Straight pull hubs and bladed spokes reduce weight and add strength, creating a system that responds instantly to your accelerations.
HOOKLESS/STRAIGHT SIDE-WALL DESIGN
40mm-deep and 30mm-wide external rim profile, featuring a hookless/straight-sidewall and ETRTO-compliant tubeless rim, designed for gravel tubeless tyre compatibility.

Powershift technology is a wireless shifting technology that allows you to shift gears instantly and under full load. Its first application is the Powershift rear hub, which replaces the front derailleur. The Powershift hub offers unrivalled shift quality, wide gearing range and small steps in between gears combining the benefits of both 1x and 2x drivetrains.
NOTE: The Classified Powershift internal system and electronics must be supplied by select Classified dealers. This wheelset does not contain the complete system. The rear wheel is delivered with the Classified hub shell, without the Powershift hub internals. Please contact our Rider Experience team with any questions.
