Hunt 40 Carbon Aero Disc Wheelset
40 Deep | 27 Wide | 1416G
LIGHTWEIGHT AND MID-DEPTH. A WHEELSET THAT COMBINES CLIMBING PROWESS AND AERODYNAMICS, THE ROULEURS' CHOICE FOR ALL-ROUND PERFORMANCE.
40 DEEP | 27 WIDE EXT | 19 INT | 1416G
The Purpose
Positioned between two of our most popular Carbon Aero Disc offerings (35 Carbon Aero Disc and our Giro d’Italia stage-winning 50 Carbon Aero Disc), the new 40 Carbon Aero Disc was built for riders looking to lower rotational weight on climbs and rolling terrain, while still benefitting from the aerodynamics of a 40mm-deep, U-shaped rim profile.
The mid-depth, super-wide 27mm rim provides stable and predictable handling while reducing drag across multiple wind yaw-angles. The wider 19mm internal rim bed opens out your tyre profile providing exceptional vibration reduction, grip and low rolling-resistance, especially when ridden at lower pressures with modern-width tubeless tyres.
The straight pull hubs and bladed spokes reduce weight, add strength and respond instantly to accelerations. The freehub body on the HUNT Sprint hub features 48 teeth on the ratchet ring, and treble-tooth pawls, providing incredible 7.5° engagement.
Finished with stainless steel bearings which are low-friction to further reduce rolling resistance and increase your speed.
Key Features
- Rims | Features disc-specific, unidirectional T700/800 rims, offering 19mm internal and 27mm external width, and a 40mm depth U-shape aero profile.
- Tyres| Tubeless-ready for lower weight and rolling resistance, featuring H-Lock technology for easy and secure tubeless installation. Also works excellently with clincher tyres and tubes.
- Hubs | Race Season SPRINT straight-pull hubs, boasting an engagement rate of just 7.5 degrees owing to the leaf-sprung, multi-point pawls and 48 ratchets in the hub shell.
- Bearings | Stainless steel bearings, low-friction to further reduce rolling resistance and increase your speed.
- Axles | Easily adaptable & we fit them for you. Fit all current axle sizes and are easy to change; Front - QR, Bolt thru 12/9mm, Rear - QR, Bolt thru 12x142, 12x135, 10x135.
- Included | Tubeless tape & valves, spare spokes, axle adapters (please fill in the simple form after checkout to select your required size)
- Weight | 1416g
Please note: If you require a 6 bolt adaptor you can purchase separately here

Warranty, HUNT Rolling Road Tests & Weight Limits
A full 3 years from purchase date warranty is offered to the original purchaser only on all Hunt bike wheels against material or workmanship defects, please click here to read full details.
All HUNT wheels models have to pass our harsh cobbled-rolling-road tests for rider weight limits, please see here for more details. Max system weight 125kg (system weight – total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If a rider is over 105Kgs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use tyres at max 90psi 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.
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.

PRODUCT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
-
With the wheel set, do they come as standard with the 12mm bolt through, i could then have in addition the adapters to make them QR in addition to fit two different bikes
Yes indeed, our wheelsets are completely compatible with pretty much any bike or standard, put your axle request in the comments section as you pass through checkout, we will add additional QR adapters to your order so that the wheels can be fitted to both of your bikes.
-
Does Hunt ship with the option of casette and tire installation?
Yes to tyres being installed for UK customers, unfotunately no to cassettes. We do not supply them and also it makes shipping without damaging the wheels a bit of a challenge!
-
hi, I have just received my aero disc 40's, but I can't seem to find recommended tyre pressure anywhere! I'm using 28mm tyres with tubes and I weigh around 70kg. Thanks
We would recomend inflating to around 70psi, have a ride to test and then you can work up or down to perfect. Using a tyre pressure calculator is a good idea.
-
Hi can these be used for little gravel use ? Thanks
Although primarily designed as a performance road wheelset our Hunt 40 Carbon Aero Disc wheels can be used for light gravel use.
-
Will these deep accommodate a 12 speed SRAM rival etap cassette?
Yes they will. You will need to choose the SRAM XD/XDR freehub in the drop down menu above "add to cart" on the product page.
