The Purpose _

Engineered alongside our Proven Carbon Race Enduro wheelset in West Sussex, UK, Proven Carbon Race E_Enduro is built to withstand the high-power world of EMTB riding and racing. Charged with building an enduro-capable carbon wheelset for full-power electric bikes, high-torque motors and long-range winch and plummet rides, our engineers developed a completely unique carbon layup and construction to offer unparalleled strength while retaining comfort and stability.

Tested in-house at our facilities in the UK and ridden to the extreme by HUNT Enduro Racer Fergus Ryan and Darkfest rider Daryl Brown, we're amped to bring you Proven Race E_Enduro!

The Proven carbon range of performance mountain bike wheels are all tuned to offer the best balance of comfort and stability for their intended purpose. Proven Carbon Race E_Enduro required an entire rethink of carbon construction methods, resin choices and precision reinforcement to provide front wheel compliance while retaining rear wheel stability on powerful electric mountain bikes.

To cope with the added torque and weight of an EMTB, Proven Race E_Enduro wheelsets also feature an increased spoke count, 32 front, 36 rear, larger guage Pillar PSR 2018 triple butted spokes and our EMTB-specific and highly durable, PhaseEngage steel freehub system with a larger 42t ratchet ring.

Tires Info
HUNT recommends a 2.35"-2.6" tire for best performance, tire widths between 1.9" 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.  Only use tires marked as compatible with hookless (TSS) rims.  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 _

Rims

Proven Carbon Race E_Enduro uses a modern rim profile with 30mm internal width and 26mm depth and is constructed to handle the rigours of aggressive EMTB riding with a unique carbon layup that reinforces all the key high-stress areas without adding unnecessary weight.

Spokes

Spoke guages have been increased front and rear using high-quality Pillar PSR 2018 triple butted spokes. The benefit being a larger central guage of 1.8mm making these stainless steel spokes incredibly strong.

PhaseEngage Hub

Proven Carbon Race E_Enduro benefits from our EMTB specific, PhaseEngage 6x1 pawl freehub. Manufactured from steel, this 8-degree engagement freehub is built to handle the higher torque loads that modern electric mountain bikes are capable of producing.

Spoke Count

Spoke count boosted to 36 on the rear and 32 on the front for Proven Carbon Race E_enduro, and each wheel is hand laced in a resilient 3x pattern. More spokes allow for better transmission of torque and the ability to handle higher loads in demanding situations.

Bearings

Our precision CNC hubs house double-sealed Revo bearings providing long service intervals. In addition, the free-spinning bearings maintain low levels of friction for an ultra-efficient ride and long life.

What's in the box _

  • Black Shield PET high tensile strength tubeless tape fitted to wheels.
  • Freehub fitted
  • 45mm Tubeless Valves
  • Spare of each spoke plus nipples
  • Quality control card signed by your wheel builder

HUNT Spare spokes and tubeless valves

WARRANTY_

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

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 rolling-drum fatigue tests for rider weight limits, please see here for more details. Max system weight 298 lb (system weight – total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If the system is over 275 lb then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use tires at max 45psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset.
