The Purpose _

We created these wheels to offer riders industry-leading impact strength and steadfast durability. Whether it’s an EDR race weekend or rowdy laps at your local bike park, the Enduro V3 is built to endure.

World-class riders helped us perfect these wheels through three years of obsessive testing. Enduro V3 rims feature front/rear-specific profiles made from ultra-strong aluminum alloy—30% stronger than standard 6061. Hand-built around our H_Ratchet XL hubs designed to handle massive torque without complaint.

The Firm Approved_

Outside the HUNT engineering lab, our team also put the Enduro V3 through the paces in real life, under riders like Scottish national DH champ Joe Connell, EDR racers Lachlan Blair and Guillaume Labreyou, freeride legend Tyler McCaul, and the infamous UK thrashing crew, The Firm. See how they held up against The Firm's chaos:

KEY FEATURES_

Front/Rear Specific Performance

Front and rear wheels endure distinct forces. The front rim’s 31.5mm internal width enhances compliance and control, while the rear’s 30mm, reinforced V-shaped profile provides strength and impact resistance.

FEA Optimized Strength

146 hours of FEA design work later, the V-shaped rim profile reduced spoke stress by 40% and impact stress by 13% compared to traditional rounded rim profiles. Learn about our FEA development process here.

Durability Driven Details

Brass nipples resist fatigue and corrosion, rim washers reduce stress, and sealed Enduro™ ABEC5 bearings ensure smooth rolling in any conditions. True durability for fit and forget performance.

H_Ratchet XL Hub

The H_Ratchet XL hub offers durability at reduced weight, with 9-degree engagement to minimize pedal kickback, oversized ratchet ring for high torque loads, 17mm stepped axle, Enduro ABEC5 bearings, and enhanced sealing.

TECHNOLOGY _

The HUNT engineering team rigorously lab-tested the Enduro V3’s impact resistance, comparing it to key competitors. They measured the energy required for initial damage (minor dents) and failure (when the wheel becomes unrideable), quantifying impact strength for both front and rear wheels. The results were combined into a total energy rating, offering a true measure of overall impact resistance.

What sets the Enduro V3 apart is its exceptional performance in both initial damage and failure energy, achieving a total energy rating of 560 joules—among the highest in its category.

Rims

Mixed 31.5mm front and 30mm rear internal widths. Mixed 19mm front and 21mm rear rim depths offer compliance up front, paired with tracking and durability in the back. Built from high strength blend aluminium alloy, similar to 6069, with an ultimate tensile strength more than 30% higher than 6061. Optimized using FEA to make sure every gram of alloy is in the right place. Tubeless-ready – designed to work excellently with tubeless tires. Tubeless-rim tape and valves included. Designed to be used with nipple washers to further increase the lifespan of the product. H-lock bead-seat up-kicks for easy and secure tubeless installation. Matte black work-hardened shot-peened finish with laser-etched graphics for superior durability.

Rear Hub

H_Ratchet XL 40T DBL Stepped double 40T ratchet ring equals 9° engagement. With a larger ratchet disc for the inboard side, allowing for greater torque load for excellent durability. CNC’d 6066-T6 heat treated aluminium alloy body. 7075-T6 stepped aluminium alloy axle. The stepped axle increases the stiffness of the hub, reducing side load on bearings to help them last longer. H_CERAMIK freehub body reinforcement coating (Shimano/Sram HG body) provides excellent durability and protects against cassette sprocket damage to the freehub often seen on standard alloy freehub bodies.-Labyrinth bearing sealing, reduces dirt and water ingress. Polished anodized black finish with laser graphics. 148x12mm spacing (Boost) 6 bolt disc mount. All freehub standards accounted for.

Tire Info

HUNT recommends a 2.35"-2.6" tire for best performance, tire widths between 2.3" and 2.8" 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.

HIGH SPECIFICATION COMPONENTS _

FRONT AND REAR OPTIMIZED RIMS

A wider (31.5mm) front wheel for control. A narrower, V-shaped (30mm) rear wheel for strength. Both built from premium aluminum, 30% stronger than standard 6061. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) design eliminates excess weight, while H-lock bead seat makes tubeless setup painless. Matte black, shot-peened finish with laser-etched graphics that won't peel off.

PRECISION ENDURO™ BEARINGS

We use Enduro™ ABEC5 LLU bearings with full-contact seals because they laugh off mud, dust, and water while spinning smoothly for seasons. True fit-and-forget reliability means you'll be sending new lines—not maintaining wheels.

ROBUST HUB SYSTEM

Our H_Ratchet XL 40T hub delivers 9° engagement with an oversized ratchet disc that handles massive torque. CNC'd from 6066-T6 aluminum alloy with 6-bolt mount and labyrinth-bearing seals. The oversized 17mm 7075-T6 stepped axle prevents flex and extends bearing life, while H_CERAMIK freehub coating prevents cassette damage. Compatible with all freehub standards.

TRIPLE BUTTED SPOKES

Pillar T302 stainless spokes with triple butting and reinforced heads. 28 front/32 rear in a 3-cross pattern for the perfect balance of strength and flex. Black stainless finish fights corrosion so your wheels stay solid season after season.
