The Purpose _

The Purpose _

Positioned between two popular Carbon Disc offerings (30 Carbon Disc and 50 Carbon Disc), the 40 Carbon Disc was built for riders looking to upgrade their experience with quicker acceleration and lower rotational weight on climbs and rolling terrain, while still benefitting from the aerodynamic gains offered by a 40mm-deep, U-shaped carbon rim profile.

Updated with wider rim dimensions and an all-new ratchet hub system, the 40 Carbon Disc is optimised for 25mm-35mm tires for fast road riding and racing, increasingly popular all-road terrain, as well as gravel riding (ETRTO compatible with tires ranging from 25mm-55mm).

KEY FEATURES_

Rims 

Unidirectional carbon fiber rim construction, with 3k reinforcement at spoke holes for greater durability. The layup is comprised primarily of Toray T700 fibers which offer high impact resistance and flexibility.

Bearings

Precision stainless steel cartridge bearings with waterproof grease specially selected for the worst weather.

Hubs

The HUNT H_Ratchet 36T SGL hubset provides a 10-degree engagement angle with improved durability, offering increased engagement surface area while using less shell materials relative to our race-proven pawl-based systems.

TECHNOLOGY _

The 40mm deep, 30mm-wide carbon profile provides stable and predictable handling while reducing drag across multiple wind yaw-angles. The wider 22mm internal rim bed opens out your tire profile providing exceptional vibration reduction, improved cornering traction and low rolling-resistance, especially when ridden at lower pressures with modern-width tubeless tires.  

The HUNT team have paired the wide hooked rim with the H_Ratchet 36T SGL hubs, offering a rapid 10-degree engagement angle, in a reliable, easy-to-service and long-lasting single-sided ratchet drive system. Increased engagement surface area improves power transfer and longevity of the hubs, while using less material compared to a spring-and-pawl system, resulting in a light but robust hub system designed and tested to cope with the torque demands of road or gravel drivetrains.

Hand-built with top-of-the-range, easily serviceable Pillar PSR triple butted J-bend spokes and precision sealed cartridge bearings, this wheelset is ready to speed up your road, CX, or gravel rides. 

<h1>Nipples</h1><i>The conical shape of the double square nipple allows for increased accuracy in wheel building when combined with a nipple washer, allowing us to create evenly tensioned wheels with reduced stress points at the spoke hole.</i>

Tires Info
HUNT recommends a 25-35mm tire for best performance, tire widths between 25mm and 50mm are also safe to use.   Note: best performance is usually gained by using tire pressures lower than the maximum, you can see our blog post about this, read here.  Tubeless-ready for lower weight and rolling resistance.  You must not exceed the maximum tire pressure limits set out in the table below or the maximum limit set by your tire manufacturer if this is lower.

Lower temperature resin reduces brittleness, resulting in greater impact resistance and more effective
vibration dampening.
Rim Surface

V:Absorb resin reduces vibration and massivelyimproves impact resistance. Disc brake rims are obviously not required tohandle the high temperatures induced by prolonged rim braking. We have made the most of this and used our new V:Absorb resin blends in the carbon layeringwhich cures at a lower temperature. Lower temperature resins are less brittlemeaning they have greater resistance to impacts and dampen vibration moreeffectively.

<h1>Tires</h1><i>At HUNT we enjoy the puncture resistance and grip benefits of tubeless on our every-day rides, so we wanted to allow you the same option, but of course these tubeless-ready wheels are also designed to work perfectly with inner tubes.</i>
Rim Bed

H-Lock is our tubeless-ready rim bed profile with up-kicks to the shoulders of the tubeless steps which help to create a great rim-well seal for first installation and easy sealing of tubeless tires. The H-Lock profile also locks the beads in place more securely once seated. This is especially important when running lower pressures off road.

<h1>Spokes</h1><i>Our team has further tuned the ride quality of the 40 Carbon Disc by selecting narrower gauge (TB2015) spokes for the front wheel to provide compliance, with slightly higher gauge spokes (TB2016) in the rear for increased power transfer.</i>
Spokes

Hand-built with top-of-the-range, reinforced Pillar PSR triple butted J-bend spokes for durability. Triple butted spokes reduce weight and provide greater elasticity to maintain optimal tension and resist fatigue, with an increased 2.2mm diameter at the spoke head, providing more material in this high stress area, all leading to excellent durability and long spoke service life.

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 275 lb (system weight – total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If the system is over 253 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.
