The Purpose _

<h1>Spokes</h1><i>We have chosen top of the line, triple butted Pillar Spokes with increased reinforcement at the spoke head. Not only are these spokes extremely lightweight, they are also able to provide a greater degree of elasticity when put under increased stress. Whatsmore the spokes feature a different gauge front and rear to further enhanced the tuned nature of Race Enduro.</i>

The Purpose _

Engineered and updated to strike the perfect balance of comfort, control, and durability. Built for the hardest-hitting terrain, where precision and strength are essential, and backed by the HUNT H_Care lifetime crash replacement policy and best-in-class rider support.

With front and rear-specific carbon layups, rim profiles, and spoke thickness, the Proven Carbon Enduro H_Core delivers a tuned ride feel for maximum control. The front wheel offers comfort and precision to hold a line, with a 31mm internal channel. The rear wheel is reinforced with 3.8mm sidewalls for strength and pinch-flat protection, with a 30mm internal channel and even stronger spokes for hard impacts. These design details and custom internal rim widths help you keep traction and confidence when riding blind at pace. Both carbon rims have been redesigned since the previous iteration, and now feature new-to-market H_Core reinforcement technology, which significantly increases impact resistance by fortifying the rim bed and sidewall junction in the rim moulding process. To learn more about H_Core technology, click here.

The Rapid_Engage freehub system offers a quick 4.3-degrees engagement angle, ensuring fast response when tackling steep climbs or sprinting out of corners. The H_Care lifetime free crash replacement offers peace of mind that your wheels are built to handle whatever you throw at them, and are backed by best-in-class rider support.

KEY FEATURES_

Re-Engineered Tuned Carbon Rims

Our ride-tuned front and rear layup and carbon weaves have been completely redesigned for higher strength, while maintaining tailored front and rear-specific ride characteristics.

H_Core

H_Core is a pre-moulded, pultruded and highly compacted carbon fibre core component used to reinforce the junction between the rim bed and sidewall on each side of the rim during the rim moulding process.

Oversized Bead

Pinch flats can ruin any ride. Based on rigorous in-house testing and rider feedback, we've increased the bead thickness of the rear rim to 3.8mm, significantly enhancing tyre protection against snake bites.

Rapid_Engage 17 Rear Hub

Fast engagement paired with dependability. The Rapid_Engage 17 hubset combines an oversized 17mm-wide external diameter 7075-T6 axle with a 42-tooth Steel ratchet ring to increase system stiffness, reducing bearing load and thus further increasing bearing life. Rapid 4.3° engagement angle puts your power straight to the ground.

TECHNOLOGY _

The addition of the H_Core reinforcement technology significantly increases impact resistance of the rims compared to the previous iteration, by ensuring consistent carbon and resin construction, creating a more compacted structure, free of voids or pockets. As a new-to-market technology, HUNT is the first to bring this advancement to carbon rim manufacturing. Tested and developed by our engineers in the UK, H_Core has undergone industry-leading in-house impact tests and real-world rider testing, with H_Core rims enduring multiple EDR World Enduro events.

Tyres Info

HUNT recommends a 2.4"-2.6" tyre for best performance, tyre widths between 1.9" and 2.8" 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.

HIGH SPECIFICATION COMPONENTS _

All-new H_Core reinforcement technology increases impact resistance significantly over the previous iteration. The front rim is designed for precision handling, featuring a 31.5mm-wide internal profile that enhances tracking and grip on technical terrain. Out back, the rear rim (30mm internal width) is engineered for strength and durability, with a reinforced layup and oversized 3.8mm sidewall dimensions to reduce the risk of pinch flats and enhance impact resistance.

Spokes

We have chosen top of the line, triple butted Pillar Spokes with increased reinforcement at the spoke head. Not only are these spokes extremely lightweight, they are also able to provide a greater degree of elasticity when put under increased stress. Whats more the spokes feature a different gauge front and rear to further enhance the tuned nature of the Proven Carbon Enduro H_Core wheelset.

Nipples

Keeping weight to a minimum, we use hard-anodized alloy nipples. Known for their strength and durability, our nipples won't let you down in the middle of the trail and feature square internal and external heads for ease of maintenance and adjustment.

Freehub Body

Available with SRAM XD, Shimano Microspline or HG freehubs. Extra thick 17mm 7075-T6 axles for increased strength and stiffness. Reducing flex in the hub also helps to increase bearing life.

Bearings

Our precision CNC hubs house double-sealed precision cartridge bearings, providing long service intervals. In addition, the free-spinning bearings maintain low levels of friction for an ultra-efficient ride and long life.

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.

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 rolling-drum fatigue tests for rider weight limits, please see here for more details. Max system weight 135kg (system weight : total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If a rider is over 125Kgs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly.
