RE:NEW HUNT 35 Carbon Gravel X-Wide Wheelset
<h1>Rims</h1><i>A strong and super-lightweight hookless rim featuring unidirectional T24/30 carbon fibre with 3K weave re-enforced spoke holes. The wide aero profile delivers excellent handling and speed. The evolution of disc-specific construction has allowed massive weight savings over equivalent rim-brake rims. The removal of braking forces on the rim allows a strong but very light rim to be designed that can focus on it's primary roles of supporting the tyre and spoke forces.</i>
<h1>Spokes</h1><i>We chose the top-of-the-range Pillar Spoke Re-enforcement PSR XTRA models. These butted blade aero spokes are lighter and provide a greater degree of elasticity to maintain tensions and add fatigue resistance. These PSR J-bend spokes feature the 2.2 width at the spoke head providing more material in this high stress area. The nipples come with a square head so you can achieve precise tensioning. Combining these components well is key which is why all Hunt wheels are hand-built.</i>
<h1>Bearings</h1><i>The heart of any wheel. Investing in them makes huge sense. We use high-grade precision smooth-rolling sealed cartridge bearings by EZO Japan.</i>
<h1>FREEHUB BODY</h1><i> Durability is a theme for HUNT as time and money you spend fixing is time and money you cannot spend riding or upgrading your bikes. As a result, we've developed the H_CERAMIK coating to provide excellent durability and protect against cassette sprocket damage often seen on standard alloy freehub bodies.</i>
<h1>Rim Surface</h1><i>V:Absorbe resin reduces vibration and massively improves impact resistance. Disc brake rims are obviously not required to handle the high temperatures induced by prolonged rim braking. We have made the most of this and used our new V:Absorbe resin blends in the carbon layering which cures at a lower temperature. Lower temperature resins are less brittle meaning they have greater resistance to impacts and dampen vibration more effectively.</i>
<h1>Rim Bed</h1><i><em>H_LOCK</em> is our tubeless-ready rim bed profile with up-kicks to the shoulders of the tubeless steps which help to create a great rim-well seal for first installation and easy sealing of tubeless tires. The <em>H_LOCK</em> profile also locks the beads in place more securely once seated. This is especially important when running lower pressures off road.</i>
<h1>Hookless Technology</h1><i>Hookless rims are manufactured without bead hooks, the inward protruding edges at the top of the rim bed that help to retain clincher tires under pressure. The internal rim walls of a hookless rim are flat and straight</i>
<h1>Hookless Rims</h1><i>The key benefits of hookless can be distilled down to the following: <ul><li> Stronger rim construction</li><li>Lighter weight rims</li><li>Slightly more aerodynamic profile of the global system (rim and tyre combined)</li><li>Lower manufacturing costs (which benefit the rider if they are passed on) and less waste generated during production</li></ul></i>
<h1>Adaptability</h1><i>Our wheels are seriously future-proof. We can adapt your wheels to any current axle standard on the market, you just need to let us know what are your requirements by filling in the simple form on the confirmation page after checkout.</i>

The last word in seriously fast riding across tough gravel. Hookless 700C rims optimised for wide tires, to hit the rough stuff with confidence.

35 DEEP | 31 WIDE EXT | 25 WIDE INT | 1465G

The Purpose

Introducing the Carbon Gravel X-Wide: Carry speed over the seriously rough stuff with confidence on these super-wide 700C rims optimised for wide tires. The 35mm depth was selected for stiffness and burly strength, knowing that you’ll likely be spending plenty of miles off-road.

Read More
Featuring the same 5 degree RapidEngage 6-pawl hub as our 30 Carbon Gravel Disc (inclusive of H_CERAMIK freehub) this wheelset offers riders a more burly option for hardcore gravel/drop-bar off-road riding and racing! Benefitting further from a 28-spoke count both front and rear (for up to 120kg riders), the result is a strong gravel/bike-packing wheelset for the heaviest of duties! Hit the trails, HARD!

    Tubeless Tire Options

    These are some of the options you can purchase with your wheels. To see the full range, click here

    Schwalbe G-One Allround Tubeless Tyres

    Schwalbe G-One Allround Tubeless Tyres - 35/38mm

    The Schwalbe Tubeless tires consistently win plaudits from journalists and customers alike. We have been testing them for a long time and have been very impressed. The G-One's are Schwalbe's brand new gravel tires, designed to offer a low rolling resistance yet offer plenty of grip on gravel and dirt tracks.

    The highly respected German Magazine TOUR said: "Unbeatable with punctures... – the "self-repair" with sealant means that no tube can compare."
    Schwalbe G-One Bite Tyres

    Schwalbe G-One Bite 40mm Tubeless Gravel Tires

    The G-One Bite feels good on road, but off-road is where it shows its real strength. The Bite version is made for more off-road use than its stablemates. The open tread and strong outer blocks give stability when cornering and great control in the toughest of gravel terrains.
