<h1>Patented LIMITLESS Technology</h1><i>In order to create the most aerodynamic & stable shape for the tyre, a rim bed of 22.5mm is needed. With the tyre profile this creates, the ideal shape of the rim curves out to an external width of 35mm. To overcome the weight penalty associated with this, we use a (non-structural) low density expanding polymer insert, inside a channel carved out during pre-preg.</i>
<h1>Patented LIMITLESS Technology</h1><i>This is bonded to the carbon during the curing process, resulting in an exceptionally strong bond. The density of carbon is 1.6g per cubic centimetre, whereas the polymer insert weighs just 0.7g per cubic centimetre, resulting in a (rotational) mass loss of just over 50g per rim. This patented technology enables us to consider the limits of material properties, and smash right past them.</i>

RE:NEW HUNT 48 Limitless Aero Disc Wheelset

CYCLINGTIPS REVIEW

"Super stable, reliable, fast, and with open tire compatibility, the Limitless 48 Aero Disc wheels have plenty to offer without asking a huge price in return."
Re:New Grading

RE:NEW wheels have been graded into three categories:

NO Grade (25% OFF) - As New - you won't be able to tell they have been ridden.

Grade A (35% OFF) - Light use - Slight cosmetic marks on the wheels.

Grade B (50% OFF) - Used - It may have cosmetic marks to the hub or rim and will show signs of use - they have been serviced and checked by our master wheel builders and will provide many more miles of use.

We will ask for your freehub and axle information after you complete your purchase.

KEY FEATURES_

The HUNT 48 Limitless UD Carbon Spoke Disc wheelset combining with Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless Tyres, providing a perfect combination of control and aerodynamic performance

Limitless Rims

The ultimate in aerodynamics, designed specifically to meet the needs of the modern rider, at the speeds they ride at. We ride at a range of wind yaw angles far greater than previously considered, and so HUNT Limitless is able to deliver aerodynamic supremacy across a wide range of riding and at real-world speeds.

Sprint SL Hubs

Sprint SL hubs feature the same strength and power transfer in a lower weight package, meaning more of your power pushing you forwards. The hub shell is 6066 series alloy, offering a greater strength-to-weight ratio than lower 6000 series alloys. Large 15mm diameter hub axles for climbing and out-of-saddle sprinting responsiveness.

TECHNOLOGY _

The HUNT 48 Limitless Aero Disc rim has as much carbon-fibre material and mass as any other comparable road disc wheelset, and far surpasses ISO impact testing. Added to the sidewall area is an extra-strengthening co-molded low density polymer (density only 0.7g/cm3vs carbon fibre prepreg of 1.6g/cm3) that keeps the weight low whilst allowing the extra width. LIMITLESS is a patent owned by HUNT and developed by HUNT's in-house engineering team, Tom and Pete, and is exclusive to HUNT wheels. So, you can have a wheelset with the world’s fastest aero shape but also impressively low weight.

The wind tunnel data we recorded is shown against the full range of incumbent world-class aero wheels in the charts.

After considerable testing across multiple spoke types (including analysis against competitor spokes), we found that the aerofoil profile of Pillar's Wing 20 spokes offer even further aerodynamic advantages over flat/bladed options.

"On the road, these hoops lived up to their name, feeling markedly faster than our older Specialized Roval C38 discs. They roll remarkably well at 40km/h and beyond, needing what felt like less power to hold those speeds when compared to similar wheelsets we’ve tested."
