<h1>Rims</h1><i>The TrailWide rim includes details which are high on the durability factor to make sure you finish every ride with a big grin. The 6069-T6 (+69% tensile strength vs 6061-T6) alloy rim sticks with the wider-is-better mantra. Designed for 2.3"-2.5" tyres, the wide 30mm (internal) rim provides support to the tyre during hard cornering, landing in a root strewn shoot or when your throttling down a high-speed section and folding a tyre is the last thing you need to happen!</i>

<h1>Weight</h1><i>Mountain bikers aren't concerned about weight, right? Nope! Whether you're doing a back-country epic or pedalling between stages, we have paid attention to weight to suit the type of riding they will be subjected too. For example, using the highest quality Pillar triple butted spokes with PSR (Pillar Spoke Re-enforcement) has allowed us to not only create a stronger wheel with a higher spoke count, but one which does not add a weight penalty.</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>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 superfast 3 degree engagement, means you will be able to put the power down straight out of the corners.</i>

<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>Freehub Body</h1><i>Choose between SRAM/Shimano 8/9/10/11 or SRAM XD to be fitted to your TrailWide Wheels. Each freehub features six individual MultiPawls to ensure strong engagement, even in the grimmest conditions.</i>

Trail Wide: Ride Without Boundaries

27.5/29" | 30 Wide Int | 1757/1823g

The Purpose

The Trail Wide is your go to wheelset no matter the conditions. Optimized to take a no-nonsense approach on the descents and not hold you back on the climbs. The Trail Wide is the answer to your weekends at the trail centre; back country epics; days spent smashing through your local woods and late afternoon sessions on the piece of trail still being bedded in - so pretty much a wheelset which can do it all!

The Trail Wide rim includes details which are high on the durability factor to make sure you finish every ride with a big grin. The 6069-T6 series alloy rim sticks with the wider-is-better mantra. Designed around for 2.3"-2.5" tyres, the wide 30mm (internal) rim provides support to the tyre during hard cornering, landing in a root strewn shoot or when your throttling down a high-speed section and folding a tyre is the last thing you need to happen!

The HUNT RapidEngage MTB hubs have been specced based on our demands for an MTB wheelset. That is a superfast engagement, long lasting hub pawls no matter the conditions you're riding in and to be optimized to accommodate the latest 148x12mm Boost (Rear) and 110x15mm Boost (Front) standard. A super low engagement of 3° means you will be able to put the power down straight out of the corners and not have any lag when jumping up those techy climbs.

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. 120kgs is the upper recommended rider weight limit for these wheels. Please include the weight of any luggage in your total rider weight when choosing the correct wheels. If a rider is over 110Kgs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use tyres at max 40psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset.

Tubeless Tyre Fitting Options

These are only some of the options you can have fitted on your wheels. To see the full range, click here

Schwalbe Hans Dampf Snake Skin Tubeless Tyres

Schwalbe Hans Dampf 2.35" Snake Skin Soft Front / Rear

The Hans Dampf is one of the most balanced tyres out there. Providing superior control on rough terrain as well as amazing grip in flowy singletrack, the Hans Dampf is the best kind of all-rounder. The high-volume casing offers maximum braking traction and cornering grip for when the trail becomes aggressive. But when gravity stops working its magic, the Hans Dampf will not leave you behind. The continuous tread pattern is closely spaced meaning that this tyre tracks well and has a lower rolling resistance over more aggressive options.

Choose this tyre combo for your Trail Wide wheels if you want an all-round option for your aggressive XC or trail bike. We love this tyre when the trails are a little dryer and demand a faster rolling option.

Maxxis High Roller II and Ardent Tubeless Tyres Combo

Maxxis High Roller II 2.5" EXO Front / Maxxis High Roller II 2.5" EXO Rear

If you have been riding a trail/enduro bike chances are your go to tyre is the Maxxis High Roller II. An iconic tyre chosen by riders due to its ability to perform in most conditions, it is one to reach for when you’re wanting a tyre you know will won’t having you second guessing yourself. The open and aggressive tread design gives the High Roller II excellent soil penetration and mud clearing ability. The High Roller II provides a solid consistent feeling when transitioning from the intermediate to the outmost knobs when cornering. The centre knobs provide great traction when braking and giving oodles of traction when the trails demand it.

Choose this tyre combo for loose to wet conditions where an intermediate/wet tyre will be overkill. It’s our go to tyre when we are heading off on a weekend riding trip one week and ripping our local trails the next.

Reviews

Bike Magazine and Website Experts' Views

	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.
	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."
	First Look "Hunt Launches Range of MTB Wheelsets"
	First Look "Hunt's new mountain bike wheelsets look like a bit of a bargain."
	First Look "A family of three new premium alloy off-road wheels – the EnduroWide, TrailWide & XCWide – ready to hit every kind of trail that awaits…"
	First Look "Hunt is well established when it comes to producing high quality, high value road and gravel wheelsets, but before now hasn't produced a wheelset for mountain biking."
