BE READY FOR THE CHASE - EXCLUSIVE WHEEL LAUNCH INFO & A CHANCE TO WIN A 'TROY LEE DESIGNS x HUNT' JERSEY EVERY TWO MONTHS.

We left no stone unturned in creating the best-performing alloy MTB wheelsets for you. From the local woodland xc race loop, beyond a remote ribbon of singletrack, to the rock-and-root strewn descent, to the white-knuckle jump trails; we wanted to create a series of wheelsets tailored for your riding. To do this, we looked at our own riding styles and the needs of similar real-world riders. The result is the Hunt Mountain line. Designed for how and where you ride, the chase for the perfect off-road experience has started.

Developed to perfectly compliment your riding, the Hunt Mountain line is grounded in serving the most dedicated riders. Across three platforms the XCWide, TrailWide and EnduroWide, every possible detail has been considered to produce wheelsets which leaves you with only one thing to do… go ride your bike!

Much like your drivetrain or suspension, we see a wheelset to be a system of the bicycle in itself and one which performs a vital function. How we chose to go about designing the ride quality, durability and serviceability were our main priorities - like it should always be.

Our wheels are in high demand due to their unique superior specifications and excellent reviews. Shipments are often fully pre-sold before they arrive so please pre-order to avoid missing out on your HUNT wheelset.

THREE CHOICES: ONE RIDE

XCWide

FLOWING SINGLETRACK/XC 29ER | 1647G | 25 WIDE INT. | 28 SPOKE
£329
XCWide
  • Rims

    XCWide-Rim

    Designed exclusively as a 29er wheelset, the XCWide includes details which are high on the durability factor to make sure you finish every ride. The high fatigue strength 6066 series alloy rim sticks with the wider-is-better mantra. Optimized for 2.1”-2.35” tyres (but also work really well with 2.0"-2.5"), the wide 25mm (internal) XCWide rim provides support to the tyre during hard cornering and when your throttling down a high-speed section where folding your tyre is the last thing you need happen!

  • Spokes

    Maintaining a high spoke count gives you reassurance that these wheels will stay true and round even after multiple seasons of use both on and off the race track. The highest quality triple-butted 2.2-1.6-2.0 PSR reinforced Pillar spokes make for a seriously strong and light wheelset.

  • Hubs

    The Hunt RapidEngage MTB hubs have been specced based on our demands for a MTB wheelset. That is a superfast engagement, long lasting hub pawls no matter the conditions you’re riding in and be optimized to accommodate the latest 148x12mm Boost (Rear) and 110x15mm Boost (Front) standard as well as standard width MTB hubs (142x12 rear and 100x15 front). A super low engagement of 4.3 degrees means you will be able to put the power down straight out of the corners and not have any lag when jumping up those techy climbs. Using the DoublePawl system means each individual pawl has two teeth, so you know that they won’t be budging when engaged - even in the most sloppy, horrible winter conditions.

    £349
    TrailWide
  • Rims

    TrailWide-Rim

    The TrailWide rim includes details which are high on the durability factor to make sure you finish every ride with a big grin. The highest spec 6069-T6 series alloy rim sticks with the wider-is-better mantra. Optimised for 2.3”-2.5” tyres (but also work really well with 2.25"-2.8"), the wide 30mm (internal) SingleTrackWide rim provides support to the tyre during hard cornering, landing in a root strewn shoot or when your throttling down a high-speed section and folding a tyre is the last thing you need to happen!

  • Spokes

    Maintaining a high spoke count gives you reassurance that these wheels will stay true and round even after multiple seasons of use both on and off the race track. A 28F/32R spoke count is a higher number than many other trail orientated wheels. This creates a stronger and more durable wheel for those blind runs down the trail you have never ridden before.

  • Hubs

    The Hunt RapidEngage MTB hubs have been specced based on our demands for a MTB wheelset. That is a superfast engagement, long lasting hub pawls no matter the conditions you’re riding in and be optimized to accommodate the latest 148x12mm Boost (Rear) and 110x15mm Boost (Front) standard as well as standard width MTB hubs (142x12 rear and 100x15 front).

  • EnduroWide

    ENDURO WHEELSET 27.5/29" | 1994/2064G | 33 WIDE INT. | 32F/36R SPOKE
    £359
    EnduroWide
  • Rims

    EnduroWide-Rim

    The EnduroWide rim includes details which are high on the durability factor to make sure you finish every ride or stage. The highest spec 6069-T6 series alloy (+69% stronger than 6061-T6) rim sticks with the wider-is-better mantra Optimized for 2.35”-2.6” tyres (but also work really well with 2.3"-3.0"), the wide 33mm (internal) EnduroWide rim provides support to the tyre during hard cornering or hucking off that step-down you’ve been eyeing off for a few months! Combine this with the latest bread of wide tubeless tyres and you have the best quality tyre/rim combo to match the demands of modern Enduro riding.

    Not satisfied with any of the options available, we went to the drawing board to design a rim which exceeds the demands of modern Enduro riding. Close to two years of real-world testing gained us insight into how these wheels will be used under riding, racing and car park jibbing. This brought us to the priority of needing a thicker side wall construction – perfect for all those whips not being brought back in or choosing the wrong line in the rock garden. Using a 6069-T6 welded construction and a work hardened shot-peened finish means this rim will not only take a beating but look fresh for every ride!

  • Spokes

    Maintaining a high spoke count of the top-end triple butted Pillar PSR re-inforced spokes gives you reassurance that these wheels will stay true and round even after multiple seasons of use both on and off the race track. A 32F/36R spoke count is a higher number than many other Enduro wheels. This is to adapt to the Enduro trails we ride frequently which are basically all-out, white knuckle downhill tracks!

  • Hubs

    The Hunt RapidEngage MTB hubs have been specced based on our demands for an MTB wheelset. That is a superfast engagement, long lasting hub pawls no matter the conditions you’re riding in and to be optimized to accommodate the latest 148x12mm Boost (Rear) and 110x15mm Boost (Front) standard, also available in 142x12/100x15 in the 27.5" option. A super low engagement of 4.3 degrees means you will be able to put the power down straight out of the corners and not have any lag when jumping up those techy climbs. Using the DoublePawl system means each individual pawl has two teeth, so you know that they won’t be budging when engaged - even in the most sloppy, horrible winter conditions.
