<h1>Front Hub</h1><i>Suited to match the needs of the modern trail bike rider. Featuring durable bearings and 7075-T6 series alloy axles to increase stiffness. These hubs have been selected based on their ability to perform on the most aggressive trails. </i>

<h1>Rear Hub</h1><i>We create wheels to match the needs of riders who want the most from their wheels. The Trail Wide hubs have been chosen to increase stiffness, bearing durability and overall strength of your wheelset. On the rear, the RapidEngage MTB hubs with a fast 5 degree engagement, means you will be able to clear those janky tech climbs with ease.</i>

<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. The Pillar Spoke Reinforcement (PSR) puts more material at the spoke head, just before the J-Bend to prevent failure in this stress area.</i>

<h1>Made for how you ride</h1><i>Enhanced to perfectly compliment your riding, the TrailWide is for those 'first out, last in' type of riders.</i>

<h1>Made for where you ride</h1><i>From the local trails, to a remote piece of trail highup in a remote mountain range; we wanted to create a series of wheels tailored for your Trail riding.</i>

Hunt Trail Wide MTB 29 Single Wheel

The Trail Wide is your go-to wheel no matter the conditions. Optimised to still take the A-lines on the descents and not hold you back on the climbs.

29" | 30mm Wide Int.

The Purpose

Starting with what we learnt around profile optimisation from the burlier Enduro Wide V2 project, we set out to improve upon its lighter sibling, not an easy task with an Editor’s Choice-winning wheelset.

Combining the all-new 30mm internal rim profile, with new hubs and spoke configurations, results in a wheel that keeps the outward appearance of it's predecessor yet provide 20% more impact resistance.

Designed as the answer to your trail centre weekends, back country epics or days spent smashing through your local woods - a wheelset that can do it all and leave you with a big grin.

The Purpose

After almost three years of unwavering service on the toughest trails, with numerous awards and recognitions along the way, the restless design team at HUNT saw an opportunity to update the Trail Wide wheel to meet the evolving demands of today’s riders.

Tyres Info

HUNT recommends a 2.3"-2.5" tyre for best performance, tyre widths between 1.9" and 2.8" are also safe to use.
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.

Note: best performance is usually gained by using tyre pressures lower than the maximum, you can see our blog post here about this.
Tubeless-ready for lower weight and rolling resistance.

Warranty, Support and 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 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 and it is advisable to use tyres at max 44psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset.

Crash replacement 35% off plus All HUNT wheels models have been designed to meet the needs of the type of riding they are intended for. 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. Please note we cannot offer refunds on wheels that have suffered from crash damage but do offer a crash replacement discount.

Reviews

Bike Magazine and Website Experts' Views

	Bike Perfect 4.5/5 Review "Same excellent ride quality, big tire support and an increase in rim toughness make Hunt’s Trail Wide V2 an even better-value wheel proposition"
	4.5/5 Review "The Hunt Trail Wide 29 wheelset is a well-designed, well-made, and well-priced wheelset."
	10/10 REVIEW "Lighter than most of the carbon wheels on test, the Trail Wides feel fast on the trail, and change direction rapidly. They also spin well with smooth, quality bearings and accelerate crisply under power. The rear wheel's super-fast engagement reacts as soon as you turn on the power at the crank, which is a real advantage for technical, stop-start climbing as well." See full review in the images above.
	4.5/5 REVIEW "These wheels area a brilliant balance of smooth speed, accuracy and userful toughness, outriding many carbon competitors at a price that's a steal." See full review in the images above.
	"Hit the sweet spot of performance and price". "Hunt Trail Wide is a very good wheelset that is strong, light and durable. They’re ideal for hitting up trail centers every weekend, backcountry adventures into the unknown, or a week of pure descending in the mountains or bike park"
	Is The Hunt Trail Wide The Best Wheelset You Can Buy Under £400? "With the Trail Wide being upgraded to a tougher alloy, and with only a slight increase in weight I believe that they are going to prove to be one of the best sub £400 wheelsets on the market for some time to come. They look classy, the quality is spot on and they keep rolling even when they’ve been battered."
