650B Adventure Sport | HUNT Wheels Australia
<h1>Rims</h1><i>Strong and light 6066-T6 (+34% tensile strength vs 6061-T6) heat-treated rim features an asymmetric shape which is inverted from front to rear to provide balanced higher spoke tensions meaning your spokes stay tight for longer. The profile is disc-specific, allowing higher-strength to weight as no reinforcement is required for a braking surface. The extra wide rim at 29mm (25mm int) creates a great tyre profile with wider 35c+ tyres, giving excellent grip and lower rolling resistance.</i>
<h1>Nipples</h1><i>To accompany these high-end spokes we selected brass nipples for our Hunt 4Season wheels. Brass is strong and corrosion resistant plus it has self-lubricating properties to prevent issues that can arise from grit salt on the winter roads corroding the fine threads in alloy nipples. As well as the standard square body we chose nipples with a hex head so you can achieve precise tensioning.</i>
<h1>Bearings</h1><i>The heart of any wheel. Investing in them makes huge sense. We use high-grade precision sealed cartridge bearings with proprietary waterproof grease specially selected for even the worst weather.</i>
<h1>Freehub Body</h1><i>Durability is a theme for HUNT, as time and money you spend fixing is time and money you cannot spend riding or upgrading your bikes. This is especially important for a 4 Season bike you use regularly in harsh conditions. As a result, the freehub features our H_CERAMIK coating to provide excellent durability against cassette sprocket damage often seen on standard alloy freehub bodies.</i>
<h1>Rim Profile</h1>
<h1>Rim Bed</h1><i>H_LOCK tubeless-ready rim bed profile. H_LOCK is our tubeless-ready rim bed profile, with up-kicks to the shoulders of the tubeless steps. This helps to create a great rim-well seal for first installation and easy sealing of tubeless tyres. The H_LOCK profile also locks the beads in place more securely once seated. This is especially important when running lower pressures off road.</i>
<h1>Spokes</h1><i>We chose the top-of-the-range Pillar Spoke Re-enforcement PSR XTRA models. These butted blade aero spokes are lighter and provide a greater degree of elasticity to maintain tensions and add fatigue resistance. These PSR J-bend spokes feature the 2.2 width at the spoke head providing more material in this high stress area. The nipples come with a square head so you can achieve precise tensioning. Combining these components well is key which is why all Hunt wheels are hand-built.</i>

<h1>Weight</h1><i>The consequence of the fanatic attention to detail is incredible durability and a resulting low 1594g gram wheelset weight. Acceleration and climbing are massively improved over many of the stock wheels supplied on road/gravel/CX disc brake bikes.</i>
<h1>Tyres</h1><i>At HUNT, we enjoy the puncture resistance and grip benefits of tubeless on our every-day rides so we wanted to allow our customers the same option. Of course, all of our tubeless-ready wheels are designed to work perfectly with clincher tyres and inner tubes too.</i>
<h1>Adaptability</h1><i>Our wheels are seriously future-proof. We can adapt your wheels to any current axle standard on the market, you just need to let us know what are your requirements by filling in the simple form on the confirmation page after checkout. As Shimano hydraulic brakes are appearing on many new bikes, we wanted riders to have the option so we went even more adaptable with centre-lock hubs.</i>

The Purpose.

<h1>Tyres</h1><i>At HUNT, we enjoy the puncture resistance and grip benefits of tubeless on our every-day rides so we wanted to allow our customers the same option. Of course, all of our tubeless-ready wheels are designed to work perfectly with clincher tyres and inner tubes too.</i>

The Purpose.

Unstoppable Versatility for Australian Bikepacking and Adventure

The Mason x HUNT 650B is the definitive choice for riders who want to push further into the Australian wilderness. By moving to a 650B diameter, this wheelset allows for significantly higher tyre volume, providing the essential flotation and traction needed when the 'road' turns into the deep sand of the Coorong or the chunky, loose river stones of the Victorian High Country. This Mason x HUNT 650B Adventure Sport Disc wheelset is perfect for transforming your gravel rig into a go-anywhere expedition machine.

The 25mm internal rim width provides a stable, supportive base for high-volume 650B tyres, allowing you to run much lower pressures to absorb the constant chatter of corrugated outback tracks. This setup is ideal for long-distance bikepacking across the Larapinta region or exploring the hidden fire trails of the Blue Mountains, where vertical compliance is the difference between reaching camp fresh or fatigued. Built with high-spec sealed cartridge bearings and a reinforced alloy rim, the Mason x HUNT 650B Adventure Sport Disc Wheelset offers the rugged durability required to handle the extra load of a full rack-and-pannier setup. Whether you are navigating the tropical rainforest tracks of Far North Queensland or embarking on a cross-continental crossing, these wheels provide the dependable, high-comfort performance necessary to master the most remote corners of Australia.

Tyres Info
HUNT recommends a 40mm tyre for best performance, tyre widths between 29mm and 64mm 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.
