Hunt 32 Aerodynamicist UD Carbon Spoke Disc Wheelset
32 Deep | 25 Wide Ext | 21 Wide Int | 1213g
THE FIRST CHOICE FOR BIG DAYS IN THE MOUNTAINS. ULTRALIGHT HOOKLESS AERODYNAMICIST RIMS, PAIRED WITH UD CARBON SPOKES TO CREATE THE ULTIMATE CLIMBING WHEELSET.
32 DEEP | 25 WIDE EXT | 21 WIDE INT | 1213G
The Purpose
We created the 32 Aerodynamicist UD Carbon Spoke Disc wheelset for riders who seek out the high mountains. The result of extensive research and development, and years of experience progressing proprietary HUNT Aerodynamicist designs, we paired lightweight, hookless rims with UD Carbon Spokes for added lateral stiffness, as well as further weight reduction. Laced to our new cold-forged Sprint SLC hubs with rapid 7.5-degree engagement and enhanced power transfer, this wheelset is exceedingly lightweight at 1213 grams, while still offering the responsiveness, reliability and serviceability that HUNT riders have come to expect.
6% more laterally responsive than identical steel spoked wheels, with significantly less weight. Further benefiting from the high-frequency vibration absorption capabilities of carbon fibre in the UD spokes, as well as the rim. Please see the graph in the image gallery below.
Aerodynamicist 32mm-deep and 25mm-wide rim profile, exclusively engineered and wind tunnel tested by HUNT's in-house engineering team, featuring a hookless/straight-sidewall and ETRTO-compliant tubeless-ready rim, designed for tubeless tire compatibility.
Includes FREE H_Care lifetime crash replacement for the first owners of these wheels. Read all about it here.

Key Features
THE ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE OF CARBON SPOKES, IN A USABLE PACKAGE
A feature-packed, no compromise wheelset for those headed uphill.
- Rims | Hookless/Straight-Sidewall Design | A hookless rim design allows for the lightest possible rim while still maintaining strength and reliability.
- Tires | 21mm internal rim width, optimized for superior aerodynamic performance with a 28mm tubeless tire. Please note, clincher tires must not be used on hookless rims. Always consult the tire manufacturer’s guidance for compatibility with hookless rims.
- FastEngage 7.5 Hubs | Sprint SLC hubs add strength and enhance power transfer, meaning more of your power pushing you forwards. The hub shell is a cold-forged 7000 series alloy, offering a greater strength-to-weight ratio than extruded 6000 series alloys. Large 15mm diameter hub axles for sprinting and out-of-saddle climbing responsiveness. Circular dropout interface steps ensure a secure fitment.
- EZO Stainless Steel Bearings | High-grade Japanese EZO bearings. Rear hub upgraded to even faster rolling LU/LB low-friction sealed internal face, dual sealed external face bearings.
- Spokes | TaperLock UD carbon spokes offer up to a 30% increase in lateral responsiveness against steel equivalents. Only 2.7g per spoke and yet can handle tightening forces of ~450kgf per spoke.
- Axles | Easily adaptable & we fit them for you. Fit all current axle sizes and are easy to change; Front - QR, Bolt thru 12/9mm, Rear - QR, Bolt thru 12x142, 12x135, 10x135.
- Hand-built | All of our wheels are built and finished by hand, inclusive of a full quality control inspection.
- Included | Tubeless tape & valves, axle adapters (please fill in the simple form after checkout to select your required size)
- Weight | 1213g
- See the full specs here
Please note: If you require a 6 bolt adaptor you can purchase separately here

Warranty, HUNT Rolling Road Tests & Weight Limits
These wheels come with H_CARE (Free Lifetime Crash Replacement) for the first owners. Read all about it here.
A full 3 years (4 years on CeramicSpeed bearings) from purchase date warranty is offered to the original purchaser only on all HUNT wheels against material or workmanship defects, please click here to read full details.
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 273lbs (system weight – total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If a rider is over 233lbs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use tires at max 90psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset. 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.
60 Day Ride & Return Period. We are certain you'll be impressed by the acceleration, low-weight, speed and durability of our wheels. We are cyclists and as such strive to offer class leading service and support. Buy with confidence, if for any reason you wish to return the wheels for a full refund of your order you can do so up to a full 60 days after you receive them whether they have been ridden or not.

PRODUCT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
-
Can you run tubes with these wheels?
You cannot, these feature a hookless rim that is tubeless only, you could fit tyres such as Schwalbe Pro One or Conti GP5000 TR's as a good choice.
