The Purpose _

The Purpose _

Designed for riders chasing every watt, the CFD-developed, wider front and deeper rear rim designs are engineered and wind tunnel-proven to improve aerodynamics and stability in actual racing conditions, while minimising system weight.

Aero wing spokes slice through the wind yet remain tough and simple to service. The precision-engineered H_Ratchet 40T DBL hub delivers crisp 9-degree engagement with less material weight. Enduro™ Bearings ABEC 5 chromium steel bearings keep you rolling faster for longer.

Every detail is dialled for uncompromising performance where it matters most.

Rims
54.5mm Deep front profile with a 31.7mm external width provides low aerodynamic drag with wider 28mm tires. 58mm deep rear profile with a 30mm external width to reduce weight in turbulent air. Lightweight rim layup strategy using T800 unidirectional carbon fiber with 3K weave re-enforced spoke holes for ultimate wheelset performance. Manufactured from H_CYCLO rim technology to allow the rims to be ready to be recycled at the end of their life. Designed by HUNT’s in-house Engineering Team using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and then validated using wind tunnel testing. Aerodynamically optimized for a 28c tire. The wide 22mm internal width is provides good tire support and volume for excellent grip and low rolling resistance. Hooked 22mm internal profile allows a wide range of tires from 25mm-50mm to be fitted including tubeless or clincher tires in-line with ETRTO guidelines. H-Lock bead seat up-kick for secure tire fitment. UD rim finish with matte white decals.

Tires Info
HUNT recommends a 25-35mm tires 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. Also designed to work excellently with standard clincher tires and inner tubes. 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.

HIGH SPECIFICATION COMPONENTS _

No Compromise, Front & Rear Specific Rim Profiles

Taking the learnings from our Limitless Speed Project but utilizing traditional manufacturing methods, the Aerodynamicist rim profiles deliver optimum aerodynamic benefit from wide rim profiles. The wide and far more 'blunted' spoke bed area, allows wind to flow in a more predictable pattern once separating from the rim providing a smooth and aerodynamically efficient package.

Reliable, Quick Engagement

The H_Ratchet freehub system offers smooth, quick, reliable 9˚ engagement with dual-sided ratchet rings for easy servicing. Designed for durability, the reinforced H_Ceramik coating protects against cassette damage, while the forged and CNC’d alloy body and 7075-T6 aluminium axle provide increased stiffness and strength.

Aerodynamic Wing Spokes

Pillar Wing 20 Elliptical Aero stainless steel spokes offer excellent performance-to-weight, and significant aero gains over round spokes. The patented design resists twisting under tension. Black anodized finish.

Reliable, Low-Friction Enduro™ Bearings

Super smooth precision Enduro™ ABEC 5 stainless steel cartridge bearings. Enduro™ ABEC 5 bearings are designed specifically for bicycle applications as they offer the deepest grooves and largest balls possible in every size to increase bearing strength and durability.

All-Road Ready Resistance

Hunt road wheels all pass UCI impact testing standards. HUNT Wheels' road wheels must also undergo significantly elevated impact testing using a sharpened anvil and higher impact energies to better replicate pothole strikes compared to the flat UCI impact test pad.

UCI Approved

Approved by the UCI for racing.

What's in the box _

WARRANTY_

These wheels come with H_CARE (Free Lifetime Crash Replacement) for the first owners. Read all about it here.

A full 3 years 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.

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 233 lb then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly.
