About Us.


HUNT exists to serve riders with purpose-focused bike wheels engineered to excel across the diverse and demanding environments found worldwide. From the high-speed winds of European Classics to the heat-baked bitumen of the Victorian Alps, our development process is rooted in the needs of real-world riders who demand more from their equipment. Every wheelset in our range is born from a desire to solve specific performance problems, then rigorously validated by our supported global athletes and teams to ensure they can withstand the harshest competitive environments.

While our engineering is driven by global standards, we understand that an Australian 'local loop' presents its own unique set of challenges - from coastal crosswinds along Beach Road to the remote, technical gradients of the Blue Mountains. By partnering with leading material and manufacturing specialists, we deliver a genuine performance advantage that is ideal for these varied Australian conditions. Our mission is to bring you the latest in wheel technology, providing the confidence you need to push further, climb steeper, and descend faster, wherever your ride takes you.

Technology

Our approach to product development places performance above all else, leveraging rider-focused engineering, a forward-thinking application of technology, and a relentless approach to component specification.  

The result? Wheels that don’t compromise. Fast, light, durable, wide. We believe riders can have it all.

Not one to rest on our laurels we have recently introduced Sustain Phase One, an initiative centred around reducing the company’s environmental impact while continuing to serve riders with high specification upgrade wheels that improve the riding experience.

Background

HUNT was founded to deliver lightweight, fast, tubeless-ready performance wheelsets without unnecessary markups. The "CHASE IS ON" tagline defines our tireless hunt for better rider solutions, from bespoke rim profiles to global component sourcing. This meticulous engineering ensures our wheels are ideal for Australian terrain, whether navigating Blue Mountains gravel or the technical, coastal crosswinds of Bright.

Born in West Sussex in 2015, HUNT has evolved into a global brand trusted by a growing community of Australian riders. Our engineering is internationally validated against the harshest road and off-road conditions to ensure reliability. We are committed to providing world-class technology and the dedicated warranty support that cyclists expect when pushing their equipment across the Australian continent.

Honesty

As part of our development process, we spend countless hours testing wheels – both ours and those of our competitors. Whether that’s time in the wind tunnel, running CFD simulations to ascertain aerodynamic properties of rims, testing for impact resistance on our in-house machines, or putting our wheels through hell on our rolling road test, we leave no stone unturned in bringing you wheels designed to perform, and to last.

We’re honest and transparent about these processes. To best serve riders, it’s important to give them the information they need to make the best decision for their riding. To that end, we publish white papers to accompany all our aerodynamically optimised Road wheels, or when we’ve made improvements in impact resistance within our Mountain range. If our wheels are not the absolute fastest or strongest among our competitive set, we’ll tell you.

Rider Support

We aim to back up our class-leading products with a level of customer support that sits well above the existing standards set by both the industry and further afield.  

All our wheels are built and finished by hand, inclusive of a full quality control inspection. Each build is signed off personally by the builder and the control card is included in the box with your order. We stand by the level of craftsmanship in every wheel, so much so that we offer both a 60-Day Ride & Return option, as well as a full 3-year warranty.

Why performance matters in Australia

We don't just build wheels; we engineer systems that thrive where the pavement ends or the climb begins. For the Australian rider, this means equipment that is:
- Aerodynamically Optimised: Tested in the wind tunnel to ensure stability when battling crosswinds on open coastal roads.
- Built for Durability: Our 4 Season and Gravel ranges feature shielded bearings and robust sealing, ideal for the dust and grit of regional fire trails.
- Validated by Pros: Whether it’s sprinting for a finish line or bike-packing across the Gippsland backcountry, our wheels are proven at the highest levels of the sport.
