More details

Wide, front specific Aerodynamicist rim profiles, designed to maintain maximum speed while minimizing crosswind effects. This system was designed to allow riders to maintain their low, aero body position over long, windy courses, maximising rider/bike/wheel efficiency.

High Specification Components.

AERODYNAMICIST RIM PROFILE

Our Limitless research and extensive wind tunnel tests found that wider rim profiles yield optimal aerodynamic benefits for riders. The more 'blunted' spoke bed area creates predictable airflow at a wider variety of wind yaw angles, with the air ‘hugging’ the rim as it passes across it, staying attached to the surface as long as possible before the point of separation. Traditional V-shaped rims tend to create turbulence in the form of stalls.

CERAMICSPEED

CeramicSpeed's world-renowned, low-friction bearings. With CeramicSpeed bearings in your hubs, tests show that you will save between 6–9 watts, compared to using standard bearings. As chosen by top athletes and teams around the world.

SPRINT SL HUBS

All-new Sprint SL hubs featuring the same reliable engagement at a lower weight package. The hub shell is 6066 series alloy, offering a greater strength-to-weight ratio than lower 6000 series alloys. Large 15mm diameter hub axles for climbing and out-of-saddle sprinting responsiveness. Circular dropout interface steps ensure a secure fitment.

BEARINGS

We chose the top-of-the-range Pillar Spoke Re-enforcement PSR XTRA models. These butted blade aero spokes are lighter but also provide a greater degree of elasticity to maintain tensions longer and add fatigue resistance. PSR spokes feature the 2.2 width at the spoke head providing more material in this high stress area. The nipples come with a hex head so you can achieve precise tensioning. Combining these components well is key which is why all HUNT wheels are hand-built.

FREEHUB BODY

Featuring 3x treble-tooth pawls and a 48 tooth ratchet ring results in an impressively low 7.5-degree engagement angle, and excellent resistance to wear under heavy loads. The Sprint SL freehub has strong individual pawl springs which drive a consistent engagement. There is also a Steel Spline Insert re-enforcement on Shimano cassettes to provide excellent durability against cassette sprocket damage.
