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.

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.

WARRANTY_

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.

Stated wheel weights: Our stated wheel weights reflect the wheelset only; without rim tape, tubeless valves or disc brake lock rings, as is industry standard. A 3% variance (lower or higher) in total system weight is normal for wheelset manufacturing.

All HUNT wheels models have to pass our harsh cobbled-rolling-road tests for rider weight limits, please see here for more details. Max system weight 286 lb (system weight – total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If the system is over 211 lb then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly. We are cyclists ourselves and do of course go above and beyond to offer excellent service if you ever do experience any issues. We carry full spares at very reasonable prices and offer complete support.
