About Us.
HUNT exists to serve riders with purpose-focused bike wheels. Our development process is driven by the needs of real-world riders, then tested and validated by our supported athletes and teams.
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
We’ve always obsessed over the small things. The company name “HUNT” and our tagline “THE CHASE IS ON” were both derived from the never-ending process of seeking the best possible solutions for riders, whether that involves in-house development of rim shapes and construction or working closely with suppliers across the global to source the best possible components for the intended application.
HUNT Wheels was founded in 2015 in West Sussex, UK, and remains headquartered in Partridge Green. We opened a US office in Boulder, Colorado in 2020 to better serve riders across North America and most recently an office in Dresden, Germany to help deliver a better experience to our European rider./
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.
