<h1>Rims</h1><i>The TrailWide rim includes details that are high on the durability factor to make sure you finish every ride with a big grin. Designed for 2.3"-2.5" tyres, the 30mm internal rim provides support to the tyre when you drop into in a root strewn shoot or you're throttling down a high-speed section and folding a tyre is the last thing you need to happen!</i>
<h1>Weight</h1><i>Mountain bikers aren't concerned about weight, right? Nope! Whether you're doing a back-country epic or pedalling between stages, we have paid attention to weight to suit the type of riding they will be subjected too. For example, using the highest quality Pillar triple butted spokes with PSR (Pillar Spoke Re-enforcement) has allowed us to not only create a stronger wheel with a higher spoke count, but one which does not add a weight penalty.</i>
<h1>Front Hub</h1><i>Suited to match the needs of the modern trail bike rider. Featuring durable bearings and 7075-T6 series alloy axles to increase stiffness. These hubs have been selected based on their ability to perform on the most aggressive trails. </i>
<h1>Rear Hub</h1><i>We create wheels to match the needs of riders who want the most from their wheels. The Trail Wide hubs have been chosen to increase stiffness, bearing durability and overall strength of your wheelset. On the rear, the RapidEngage MTB hubs with a fast 5 degree engagement, means you will be able to clear those janky tech climbs with ease.</i>
<h1>Rim Profile</h1><i>Like all of our wheels, the Hunt MTB line-up is designed to be used as a tubeless system. Featuring a H-Lock rim bead with 'up-kicks' to the shoulders of the rim bed secures your tyre when seated. This prevents side-to-side movement reducing the chance of burping your tyre. It creates a great rim-well seal for first installation and easy sealing of tubeless tyres. Still haven't made the switch? All our wheels are tube compatible as well.</i>
<h1>Spokes</h1><i>We have chosen top of the line, triple butted Pillar Spokes with increased reinforcement at the spoke head. Not only are these spokes extremely lightweight, they are also able to provide a greater degree of elasticity when put under increased stress. The Pillar Spoke Reinforcement (PSR) puts more material at the spoke head, just before the J-Bend to prevent failure in this stress area.</i>
<h1>Freehub Body</h1><i>Choose between SRAM/Shimano HG, Shimano Microspline or XD to be fitted to your Trailwide wheels.</i>

<h1>Made for where you ride</h1><i>From the local trails, to a remote piece of trail highup in a remote mountain range; we wanted to create a series of wheelsets tailored for your Trail riding.</i>

The Purpose.

The Purpose.

The Ultimate Workhorse for Australian Singletrack

The HUNT Trail Wide 29 is engineered for the rider who demands a wheelset as versatile as the Australian landscape. From the technical, rocky descents of Mt Stromlo in Canberra to the fast, flowy ribbons of dirt in Derby, Tasmania, this wheelset provides the perfect balance of weight and impact resistance. As a dedicated HUNT Trail Wide MTB 29 Wheelset, it features a 30mm internal rim width that is ideal for supporting high-volume tyres, ensuring maximum mechanical grip and stability when pushing through the loose-over-hardpack corners common in the Northern Territory or the Gold Coast hinterland.

Built to withstand the rigours of everyday trail riding, these wheels can cover everything from local weekday laps to all-day alpine epics in Bright. The HUNT Trail Wide 29 utilizes a 6061-T6 alloy rim with a reinforced bed to handle square-edge hits on technical fire trails, while the rapid-engagement hubs ensure you can punch up steep, technical climbs in the Blue Mountains with immediate power transfer. Whether you are building a modern short-travel trail bike or looking for a reliable daily driver for your enduro rig, the HUNT Trail Wide MTB 29 Wheelset offers the durability and performance needed to conquer the most demanding Australian trails with confidence.

Tyres Info
HUNT recommends a 2.4"-2.6" tyre for best performance, tyre widths between 1.9" and 2.8" are also safe to use.   Note: best performance is usually gained by using tyre pressures lower than the maximum, you can see our blog post about this, read here.  Tubeless-ready for lower weight and rolling resistance.  You must not exceed the maximum tyre pressure limits set out in the table below or the maximum limit set by your tyre manufacturer if this is lower.

Max system weight 135 kg (system weight – total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If the system is over 125 kg then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly.
