The Purpose _

The Purpose _

Wind tunnel-proven aerodynamic efficiency, engineered for gravel. Supercharged with QVIST’s unique near-instant engagement and the renowned durability of ratchet drive, ready to go anywhere—fast. 

Born from a shared obsession with precision and rider-focused design, the HUNT x QVIST collaboration merges QVIST’s 3° engagement DUO double ratchet hub system with HUNT’s race-developed, front- and rear-specific gravel aero wheels. The result is a highly responsive, aerodynamically optimized wheel system built to elevate your fastest gravel adventures and endure the long haul. 

With only 40 wheelsets available globally, each hand-built in Dresden, Germany, this is performance engineering in its rarest form.

Tires Info
HUNT recommends a 40-45mm tire for best performance, tire widths between 35mm and 60mm are also safe to use. 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. Only use tires suitable for hookless (TSS) rims. If unsure, please contact the tire manufacturer. Leading brands, including Schwalbe, Continental and Vittoria, have many tires suitable for hookless TSS rims.  Note: best performance is usually gained by using tire pressures lower than the maximum, you can see our blog post here about this. Tubeless-ready for lower weight and rolling resistance.

HIGH SPECIFICATION COMPONENTS _

QVIST Duo Hub

QVIST’s Double Ratchet System features their patent-pending with 120 points of engagement (60 of which are engaged on alternate ratchets simultaneously for high durability) and their unique and rich stereo freehub sound. QVIST’s is the fastest engaging ratchet hubset that we know of. HUNT and QVIST have teamed up to offer a unique colourway for this collaboration in a stunning Dark Graphite. This colour is exclusive to the HUNT and QVIST partnership available with these wheels only.

Limitless Rim Profile

HUNT-patented Limitless Width Aero Technology enables us to build a rim that possesses wide, blunt dimensions and class-leading aerodynamic characteristics, whilst maintaining a weight that won’t detract from the all-round performance of the wheelset.

Aerodynamically Optimized

Aerodynamically optimized to be the ultimate all-round gravel racing wheelset for 40 and 45mm+ tires. Aero width advantage without a weight penalty. The wide Limitless rims enhance 50mm+ tire aerodynamics too.

German Engineering/Machining

QVIST are based in the heart of Europe – near our facility in Dresden, Germany. They believe in local manufacturing and craftsmanship. That's why they try to manufacture as many parts as possible in-house, in Germany and in Europe.

Spokes

After testing multiple spoke types (including analysis against competitor spokes), we found that the aerofoil profile of Pillar's Wing spokes offers even further aerodynamic advantages over flat/bladed options.

Hand-Built in Europe

Each wheelset has been hand-built at our facility in Dresden, Germany by our expert wheel builders. Delivered directly to riders worldwide and supported by our passionate Rider Experience team in the US, UK and Germany.

What's in the box _

  • QVIST Bottle.
  • Hunt Black Shield tubeless tape fitted to wheels. 
  • Cassette spacer for 8/9/10 speed and XDR-XD compatibility.

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 286 lb (system weight – total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If the system is over 211 lb then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly.
