Hunt Trail Wide MTB 29 Single Wheel
Hunt Trail Wide MTB 29 Single Wheel
Hunt Trail Wide MTB 29 Single Wheel
<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>Rim Profile</h1><i>Like all of our wheels, the Hunt MTB line-up is designed to be used as a tubeless system. Featuring a H-Lock rim bead with 'up-kicks' to the shoulders of the rim bed secures your tyre when seated. This prevents side-to-side movement reducing the chance of burping your tyre. It creates a great rim-well seal for first installation and easy sealing of tubeless tyres. Still haven't made the switch? All our wheels are tube compatible as well.</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

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

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.

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.

      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."

      "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."
