The Purpose.

Engineered for the demands of modern racing, the 5AM Limitless delivers a level of all-round speed beyond any wheel currently raced in the pro peloton, setting a new benchmark for outright performance on fast and rolling terrain at the highest level of the sport.

Drawing on ten years of wheel development, materials innovation and an evolving process of aerodynamic and real-world testing, the 5AM Limitless was created using a complete system approach to performance. Each component of the wheel system was engineered, vetted and validated through HUNT’s 5-Stage Aero Development process, to make riders faster in actual racing conditions, not just on paper.

Technology.

Designed by HUNT’s in-house engineering team, the 5AM Limitless represents the latest evolution of our rider-first approach to wheel design. Combining years of aerodynamic learning with new testing protocols, designed to understand how wheels perform in the real world, with a rider on the bike. Rather than relying on a single testing method, HUNT leverages a 5-Stage Aero Development process, where each stage answers different questions and builds a complete picture of performance. Through this layered development process and patented Limitless Width Aero Technology, performance is maximised to achieve the optimal balance between aerodynamics and weight, delivering the fastest wheel system available under 60mm.

The front wheel runs in clean air, offering the greatest opportunity to reduce drag. By increasing rim depth and width, while minimising rotational drag through reduced spoke count, hidden spoke nipples and low profile hub design, we maximise aerodynamic efficiency where it matters most without compromising crosswind stability.

The rear wheel encounters turbulent airflow, downstream of the front wheel, frame, and rider movement, making rear wheel aerodynamic gains less important in the context of the complete system. Rear wheel efficiency is achieved by reducing weight and maximising power transfer. A shallower, narrower rim paired with additional spokes delivers enhanced responsiveness and efficient transmission of every watt to the road.

4.35 watts faster than the ENVE 4.5 Pro with a 30mm tyre. 1.74 and 1.99 watts faster than the deeper and heavier Roval Rapide Sprint and Scope Artech wheels, respectively.

Conducted in partnership with Dr. Barnaby Garrood at Aerosensor™, the rotational drag reduction of the more aerodynamic spoke design and lower spoke count, play an important role in extending the system's lead over rival wheels; delivering a 5.9-watt advantage over the Scope Artech 6, and an 8.5-watt advantage over the Zipp 404 Firecrest.

Tyres Info

HUNT recommends a 28-30mm tyre for best performance, tyre widths between 28mm and 50mm are also safe to use. Tubeless-ready for lower weight and rolling resistance. Also designed to work excellently with standard clincher tyres and inner tubes. 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.

High Specification Components.

Advanced Carbon Construction

5AM Limitless rims are made using a blend of T700, T800, and T1000 UD carbon fibres, with high-modulus Mitsubishi PyrofilHR4012M - a material more common in aerospace, aviation and motorsport applications. This blend offers lateral and sidewall strength, enabling low weight without compromising durability or trueness. The high gloss finish resists dirt build up and helps minimise aerodynamic skin drag.

Ti_UD VONOA Carbon Spokes

The top of the wheel moves through the fork at twice the speed of the bike, meaning small design features add up to large aero gains. We have combined a slim frontal profile with elongated bladed shape for improved aerodynamic efficiency. Titanium Ti6-4AL-4V end hardware keeps weight exceptionally low, while maintaining strength and resistance to corrosion.

Hidden Spoke Nipples

Internal spoke nipples further reduce aerodynamic and rotational drag across the wheel system.

Limitless Aero Maximised Front Rim

HUNT patented Limitless Width Aero Technology enables us to build a rim that possesses wide, blunt dimensions and class-leading aerodynamic and side wind handling characteristics, whilst maintaining a weight that won’t detract from the all-round performance of the wheelset. What does that mean on the road? The wheel carries speed like a deeper wheel, with the stable feel of a shallower wheel.

Chase SLC Hub

The Chase SLC hubset is our premium hubset that has evolved from the race winning 48T DBL ratchet system, developed for our Limitless Road and Gravel Range. Coming in at an astonishing 289g for the pair, a reduction in weight found from the utilisation of higher grade 7075 alloy. This has been tested to withstand over 100,000 cycles at 250Nm of torque, providing exceptional reliability, sprint after sprint.

CeramicSpeed Wheel Bearings

HUNT have partnered with CeramicSpeed to exclusively bring a yet-to-be-released wheel bearing offering the optimal balance between performance and durability to the wheelset. Hand-built in Denmark, these bearings feature a ceramic ball with stainless steel bearing race for industry-leading performance.

Covered by CeramicSpeed's lifetime warranty.

Warranty.

These wheels come with H_CARE (Free Lifetime Crash Replacement) for the first owners. Read all about it here.

A full 3 years (4 years on CeramicSpeed bearings*) from purchase date warranty is offered to the original purchaser only on all HUNT wheels against material or workmanship defects, please click here to read full details.

Stated wheel weights: Our stated wheel weights reflect the wheelset only; without rim tape, tubeless valves or disc brake lock rings, as is industry standard. A 3% variance (lower or higher) in total system weight is normal for wheelset manufacturing.

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 120 kg (system weight – total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If the system is over 100 kg then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly.
