Hunt 40 Carbon Gravel Race Wheelset
<h1>Rim Profile</h1><i>A strong and super-lightweight hookless rim. The rim dimensions are 40mm deep and 30mm wide external (25mm internal) optimised for 28-65mm tyres. Tubeless for lower weight, rolling resistance, and better puncture protection.</i>
<h1>Freehub Body</h1><i>Featuring 3x treble-tooth pawls and a 48 tooth ratchet ring results in an impressively low 7.5-degree engagement angle, and excellent resistance to wear under heavy loads. The Sprint freehub has strong individual pawl springs which drive a consistent engagement. There is also a Steel Spline Insert re-enforcement to provide excellent durability against cassette sprocket damage. </i>
<h1>Sprint SL Hubs</h1><i>All-new Sprint SL hubs featuring the same strength and power transfer in a lower weight package, meaning more of your power pushing you forwards. The hub shell is 6066 series alloy, offering a greater strength-to-weight ratio than lower 6000 series alloys. Large 15mm diameter hub axles for climbing and out-of-saddle sprinting responsiveness. Circular dropout interface steps ensure a secure fitment. </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 but also provide a greater degree of elasticity to maintain tensions longer and add fatigue resistance. PSR spokes feature the 2.2 width at the spoke head providing more material in this high stress area. The nipples come with a hex head so you can achieve precise tensioning. Combining these components well is key which is why all HUNT wheels are hand-built. </i>
<h1>Tyre Width Optimisation</h1><i>25mm internal rim profile, featuring a hookless and ETRTO-compliant tubeless rim, designed exclusively for tubeless tyres.</i>
<h1>Bearings</h1><i>The heart of any wheel. Investing in them makes huge sense. We use high-grade precision smooth-rolling sealed cartridge bearings by EZO Japan. </i>
<h1>Adaptability</h1><i>Our wheels are futureproof. We can adapt your wheels to any current axle standard. You just need to let us know what you require by filling in the simple form on the confirmation page after checkout. Please note these wheels will not work with the older 15mm front road TA standard. </i>

A RACE-FOCUSED HOOKLESS GRAVEL 700c WHEELSET BUILT TO OFFER SPEED ON THE VERY FASTEST COURSES.

40 DEEP | 30 WIDE EXT | 25 WIDE INT | 1383G

The Purpose

The HUNT 40 Carbon Gravel Race Disc wheelset was built to meet the needs of the gravel racer and rider. Wide and lightweight 40mm-deep hookless rims offer durability, quick acceleration and aerodynamic efficiency, intended for use with modern width gravel race tyres. Laced to our lighter Sprint SL hubs with rapid 7.5-degree engagement, the complete wheelset comes in under 1400 grams.

Long-time advocates of tubeless technology for riding on and off-road, HUNT’s development into hookless rims began back in 2016. With the 40 Carbon Gravel Race Disc rim development, we were able to push the boundaries of rim weight-saving further, bringing the final rim weights to a mere 395g. As well as having that performance benefit, due to a simpler manufacturing process, hookless rims can be produced with less waste, resulting in a cost reduction which can be passed on to riders.

HOOKLESS/STRAIGHT SIDE-WALL DESIGN

40mm-deep and 30mm-wide external rim profile, featuring a hookless/straight-sidewall and ETRTO-compliant tubeless rim, designed for gravel tubeless tyre compatibility.

SPRINT SL HUBS

All-new Sprint SL hubs featuring the same strength and power transfer in a lower weight package, meaning more of your power pushing you forwards. The hub shell is 6066 series alloy, offering a greater strength-to-weight ratio than lower 6000 series alloys. Large 15mm diameter hub axles for climbing and out-of-saddle sprinting responsiveness.
