HUNT 50 Carbon Wide Aero Wheelset

Brand:Hunt

Code:Hunt 50Carbon D

ULTIMATE RACE WHEELSET. ULTRA-WIDE CUTTING EDGE RIM DESIGN. SUPER-STIFF. WIND-CHEATING. SCARY-FAST

50 Deep | 27 Wide | 1537g

The Purpose

These wheels are so aero, that we're free-wheeling in the pack whilst the others are pedalling. Going deep is obvious for aerodynamic performance. Add wide rims with a U-profile, and you get the addition of great handling and reduced drag across a wide range of yaw angles. Despite being a massive 27mm wide and 50mm deep, the rims are extremely light at only 498g each.

As used in UCI Continental level racing by the Canyon Eisberg pro team

Ultra wide and light. The Ultimate Rim-Brake Race Wheelset

    Rims | Toray T700/T800 carbon-fibre. Unidirectional sidewalls with 3K weave bed and spoke areas, Griptec basalt ceramic fibre brake-track for excellent braking and durability. Tubeless-ready for lower weight, rolling resistance and better puncture protection.
    Tyres | Designed with a wide 19mm rim bed fine with 23mm, but ideal for 25, 28 and wider tubeless tyres. Also works excellently with clincher tyres and tubes.
    Hubs | Race Season Sprint straight-pull super-light, 15mm diameter 7075-T6 axle. Circular dropout interface steps for added stiffness. 3x treble tooth pawls resulting in just 7.5 degrees of engagement for instant acceleration. Steel spline insert to protect cassette body.

    Included | QRs, Pads, Tubeless tape & valves, spokes w/key & aero spoke holder

Warranty, HUNT Rolling Road Tests & Weight Limits

A full 2 years from purchase date warranty is offered to the original purchaser only on all Hunt bike wheels against material or workmanship defects

All HUNT wheels models have to pass our harsh cobbled-rolling-road tests for rider weight limits, please see here for more details. 100kgs 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 90Kgs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use tyres at max 95psi 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.

Hunts 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 but do offer a crash replacement discount.

Technical Information

Freehub Body
Featuring a 3 multi-point pawls with 3 teeth each 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 engage quicker. There is also a Steel Spline Insert re-enforcement to provide excellent durability against cassette sprocket damage often seen on standard alloy freehub bodies.

Bearings
The heart of any wheel. Investing in them makes huge sense. We use high-grade precision sealed cartridge bearings by Japanese experts EZO, and this wheelset even has low-friction seals to further reduce rolling resistance.

    High-grade by EZO Japan.
    Sealed cartridge replaceable units.
    Upgraded to low-friction seals to further reduce rolling resistance.
    Incredibly fast rolling

Hubs
Precision machined straight pull hubs and spokes add strength and enhance power transfer meaning all your force pushes you forwards. Large 15mm diameter hub axles for sprinting and out-of-saddle climbing responsiveness. Circular dropout interface steps add extra stiffness.

Front

    Forged and CNC’d 6061-T6 heat treated aluminium alloy body.
    7075-T6 aluminium alloy axles.
    Circular machined dropout interface steps for added stiffness
    Polished anodized black finish with laser graphics.

Rear

    7075-T6 heat-treated aluminium alloy freehub body.
    Steel Spline Insert freehub body reinforcement provides excellent durability against cassette sprocket damage to the freehub often seen on standard alloy freehub bodies.
    3x treble tooth pawl engagement for instant acceleration - 7.5 degrees engagement.
    9/10/11 speed Shimano/SRAM compatible freehub, Campagnolo and SRAM XD Driver versions also available.

    7075-T6 aluminium alloy axles.
    Polished anodized black finish with laser graphics.

Rim Bed
H-Lock 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 tyres. The H-Lock profile also locks the beads in place more securely once seated. This is especially important when running lower pressures or riding off-road.

    Tubeless-ready – designed to work excellently with normal clincher tyres and tubes or tubeless tyres.
    Hunt Black Shield tubeless rim tape fitted.
    Toray T700/T800 unidirectional and 3K weave carbon-fibre with 3K weave bed and spoke areas.
    27mm outer and 19mm inner width ideal for 23-45mm tyre widths
    50mm deep super wide rounded aero section
    Griptec basalt ceramic fibre brake-track
    Matt black base finished with gloss black and white contrasting graphics.

Spokes
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 longer and add fatigue resistance. PSR spokes feature the 2.2 width at the head providing more material in this high stress area. Nipples are 14mm alloy, anodized and come with a hex head so you can achieve precise tensioning. Combining components well is key which is why all Hunt wheels are hand-built.

    Front: 20 spokes laced radially - Aero triple-butted profile
    Butted 2.0-2.0/0.95-2.0 then PSR section is 2.2.
    Rear: 24 spokes laced 2 cross drive-side and radially non-drive side.
    Butted 2.0-2.0/0.95-2.0 then PSR section is 2.2.
    Straight-pull for excellent torsional strength and direct power transfer
    Cold drawn from high grade T302 (18/10) stainless steel wire by Sandvik Sweden
    Patented Pillar Spoke Re-enforcement, butted again just before the spoke head providing more durability in high stress area.
    Black stainless treatment

Nipples

    Alloy square body for external adjustment and square head for easy internal adjustment/tensioning. Square spoke key included.
    16mm length with washer for a strong connection to the spoke added durability.
    14 gauge
    Black anodized finish

Tyres
At HUNT, we enjoy the puncture resistance and grip benefits of tubeless on our every-day rides so we wanted to allow our customers the same option. Of course, all of our tubeless-ready wheels are designed to work perfectly with clincher tyres and inner tubes too.

    Maximum tyre pressure for this rim is 120psi when used with an inner tube and 100psi when running the wheel set-up tubeless. 100 psi is more than enough for any rider on road. Click here to listen to a podcast exploring the science of why lower pressures were found to be faster by pro teams.
    Maximum tyre pressures for other tyre sizes: 30mm do not exceed 80psi, 33mm do not exceed 60psi and 35-45mm do not exceed 40psi.
    Please do not exceed the maximum pressure stated on your tyre.
    Suitable for tyres from 23mm up to 45mm wide.
    Suitable tubeless road and CX tyres are available from a huge range of companies including Schwalbe, Hutchinson (Sector/Overide Only), Panaracer, Maxxis and many more. Schwalbe Pro One 25mm tyre weighs just 255g, is tubeless ready and is Schwalbe's class leading clincher racing tyre.

Weight
The consequence of the fanatical attention to detail is an outstandingly light 1537 gram wheelset weight in a lightning fast stiff aero package. We've enjoyed free wheeling in the pack whilst all others are pedalling, is it cheating?

Skewers
The little details matter, the HUNT Race Season quick-release skewers use brass for the cam, which has self lubricating properties. We have also upgraded to stainless steel springs in order to prevent rusting.

    Hunt Super-light Race Season design, only 33g front and 37g rear.
    7075-T6 heat-treated alloy lever, head and nut.
    Brass cam plate actuation.
    1000kgf tested high-strength cro-moly spindles.

    Polished anodized black finish with laser graphics.
