RE:NEW HUNT 32 Aerodynamicist UD Carbon Spoke Disc Wheelset
Hunt 32 AUD Carbon Spoke Front Wheel
Hunt 32 AUD Carbon Spoke Disc Rear Wheel
<h1>Rims</h1><i>Aerodynamicist disc-specific rim profiles, designed from the ground up by HUNT engineers. Toray T700/T800 carbon fiber with a stronger ratio of T800 (T40) fibers to achieve a greater strength-to-weight ratio. Unidirectional sidewalls with 3K weave bed and spoke areas. Tubeless-ready for lower weight, rolling resistance, and better puncture protection.</i>
<h1>AERODYNAMICIST RIM PROFILE</h1><i>As learned from our Limitless Research project & wind tunnel time the past 3 years, an optimum aerodynamic benefit for a drop-bar bike is yielded from widening rim profiles. This allows for a far more 'blunted' spoke bed area, resulting in predictable airflow at a wider variety of wind yaw angles. The wider profile ensures the flow stays attached to the surface as long as possible before the point of separation, which is key as yaw angles increase.</i>
<h1>STIFFNESS-TO-WEIGHT</h1><i>Engineered to provide a stiffness-to-weight ratio previously unseen on serviceable wheels. Coming in at just 1213g but with significant increases in lateral responsiveness, climbing wheels have never been so fast.</i>
<h1>UD CARBON SPOKES</h1><i>TaperLock UD carbon spokes offer up to a 30% increase in lateral responsiveness against steel equivalents. Only 2.7g per spoke and yet can handle tightening forces of ~450kgf per spoke. Owing to the TaperLock technology, these spokes can be trued using a spoke key from inside the rim bed.</i>
<h1>HOOKLESS/STRAIGHT-SIDEWALL DESIGN</h1><i>When designing a wheelset with absolute lightness as the driving principle, then a hookless rim profile is the right choice. The weight savings offered (whilst being able to strengthen the rim) allow for a 1213g disc-brake wheelset that also offers an aerodynamic benefit over standard box section rims. </i>
<h1>FREEHUB BODY</h1><i>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 freehub has strong individual pawl springs which drive a consistent engagement. There is also a Steel Spline Insert re-enforcement to provide excellent durability against cassette sprocket damage.</i>
<h1>TIRE WIDTH OPTIMISATION</h1><i>Designed around a 21mm internal rim width optimized for a 28c (hookless-compatible) tire. These wheels feature a hookless/straight-sidewall design and are fully ETRTO-compatible and tubeless-ready.</i>
<h1>ADAPTABILITY</h1><i>Our wheels are futureproof. We can adapt your wheels to any current axle standard. You just need to let us know what you require by filling in the simple form on the confirmation page after checkout. Please note these wheels will not work with the older 15mm front road TA standard.</i>
<h1>WEIGHT</h1><i>The consequence of the fanatical attention to detail is an outstandingly light 1213 gram wheelset weight. Gone are the days when having a disc-equipped road bike always resulted in a weight penalty. You can now float up the climbs, and then brake later than the others on the way back down!</i>

THE FIRST CHOICE FOR BIG DAYS IN THE MOUNTAINS. ULTRALIGHT HOOKLESS AERODYNAMICIST RIMS, PAIRED WITH UD CARBON SPOKES TO CREATE THE ULTIMATE CLIMBING WHEELSET.

32 DEEP | 25 WIDE EXT | 21 WIDE INT | 1213G

The Purpose

We created the 32 Aerodynamicist UD Carbon Spoke Disc wheelset for riders who seek out the high mountains. The result of extensive research and development, and years of experience progressing proprietary HUNT Aerodynamicist designs, we paired lightweight, hookless rims with UD Carbon Spokes for added lateral stiffness, as well as further weight reduction. Laced to our new cold-forged Sprint SLC hubs with rapid 7.5-degree engagement and enhanced power transfer, this wheelset is exceedingly lightweight at 1213 grams, while still offering the responsiveness, reliability and serviceability that HUNT riders have come to expect.

Hunt Carbon Spoke Logo

6% more laterally responsive than identical steel spoked wheels, with significantly less weight. Further benefiting from the high-frequency vibration absorption capabilities of carbon fiber in the UD spokes, as well as the rim. Please see the graph in the image gallery below.

Hunt Aerodynamicist Logo

Aerodynamicist 32mm-deep and 25mm-wide rim profile, exclusively engineered and wind tunnel tested by HUNT's in-house engineering team, featuring a hookless/straight-sidewall and ETRTO-compliant tubeless-ready rim, designed for tubeless tire compatibility.

SLC Hubs

All-new Sprint SLC hubs add strength and enhance power transfer, meaning more of your power pushing you forwards. The hub shell is a cold-forged 7000 series alloy, offering a greater strength-to-weight ratio than extruded 6000 series alloys. Large 15mm diameter hub axles for sprinting and out-of-saddle climbing responsiveness. Circular dropout interface steps ensure a secure fitment.

    A full 3 years from purchase date warranty is offered to the original purchaser only on all Hunt bike wheels against material or workmanship defects, please click here to read full details.

    All HUNT wheels models have to pass our harsh cobbled-rolling-road tests for rider weight limits, please see here for more details. 240lbs is the upper recommended rider weight limit for these wheels. Please include the weight of any luggage in your total rider weight when choosing the correct wheels. If a rider is over 178lbs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use tires at max 72.5psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset. We are cyclists ourselves and do of course go above and beyond to offer excellent service if you ever do experience any issues. We carry full spares at very reasonable prices and offer complete support.

    60 Day Ride & Return Period. We are certain you'll be impressed by the acceleration, low-weight, speed and durability of our wheels. We are cyclists and as such strive to offer class leading service and support. Buy with confidence, if for any reason you wish to return the wheels for a full refund of your order you can do so up to a full 60 days after you receive them whether they have been ridden or not. Please note we cannot offer refunds on wheels that have suffered from crash damage.

    Tubeless Tire Options

    We can supply tubeless tires (including sealant) with your wheels.

    Maximum tire pressure for this rim is 72.5psi when used with 28mm tires. Please do not exceed the maximum pressure stated on your tire. Suitable for tires from 28mm up to 50mm wide. Please do not exceed the maximum pressure stated on your tire. Click here to listen to a podcast exploring the science of why lower pressures were found to be faster by pro teams.

    Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless Tyres

    Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless tires - 28mm

    The Schwalbe Tubeless road tires consistently win plaudits from journalists and customers alike. We have been testing them for a long time and have been very impressed. The One Pro's are Schwalbe's top of the range tires and feature their triple compound tread so you get extremely low rolling-resistance combined with excellent grip and durability.
    Schwalbe G One Tubeless Tyres

    Schwalbe G One Speed Tubeless tires - 30mm

    Unleashing profile and breathtakingly fast - especially when large volume counts. As a 30mm wide road race version with V-Guard, G-One Speed is a tire for the real tough jobs. You can ride it as a handmade tubular or with the most modern tubeless easy technology. But it is also a guarantee for maximum speed in the extra-wide 60mm execution - of course, not only at the fascinating beach races on Holland’s coasts. The new G-One Speed is an evolution of the former S-One and Big One.
