<h1>Rims</h1><i>Re-designed from the ground up so your wheels are the least of your worries as you focus on the stage ahead. Offering up mixed rim widths (33/31mm internal) to handle the different tasks front and rear wheels face. Optimized for 2.35"-2.6" tyres, the EnduroWide rim provides support to the tyre during hard cornering or hucking off that step-down you've been eying off for a few months! </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 specification 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>Front Hub</h1><i>We have gone all out on the front hub and beefed it up over our XCWide and TrailWide wheelsets. Featuring an oversized shell to accommodate larger and extremely 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>The demands of modern day Enduro riding are tougher than ever before, so the EnduroWide hubs have been designed with oversized 17mm axles to increase stiffness and bearing durability. On the rear, the Hunt RapidEngage MTB hubs with a fast 5 degree engagement, means you will be able to put the power down straight out of the corners. </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>Freehub Body</h1><i>Choose between SRAM/Shimano 8/9/10/11sp, Shimano Microspline or SRAM XD to be fitted to your Enduro Wides. </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>A 'Wheel System' Approach</h1><i>Much like your drive chain or suspension, we see a wheelset to be a system of the bicycle in itself. How we chose to go about designing the ride quality, durability and serviceability were our main priorities - Like it should always be.</i>
<h1>Made for how you ride</h1><i>Enhanced to perfectly compliment your riding, the Enduro Wide is grounded in serving the most dedicated riders.</i>
<h1>Made for where you ride</h1><i>From the rock and root strewn decent, to the white-knuckle inducing jump trails; we wanted to create a series of wheelsets tailored for your Enduro riding.</i>

Lab Developed, Race proven. The Enduro wide is our all-out, hardest-hitting wheelset for your Enduro rig.

27.5" | 33F/31R Wide Int. | 2041g

The Purpose

After almost three years of valiant service on local trails and EWS stages alike, with numerous awards and accolades along the way, the restless design team here at HUNT saw an opportunity to update the Enduro Wide wheelset to meet the evolving demands of today’s riders.

Listening to our athletes on the EWS circuit, we developed a testing protocol to ensure the Enduro Wide can take a beating on the most unforgiving trails without flinching. Our engineers built an impact test rig specifically for the task, then using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) they optimised the material distribution ensuring the strongest rim without incurring a weight penalty.

To better suit the differing needs of each wheel, a front (33mm int.) and rear (31mm int.) specific profile is utilised; designed for compliancy and grip up front, while the back is reinforced to handle high impacts. So, whether you're riding tracks with black diamonds marked at the trail head or spend the weekends chasing your next Enduro stage, the EnduroWide has your back

      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.

      Schwalbe Magic Mary and Hans Dampf Snake Skin Tubeless Tyres

      Schwalbe Magic Mary 2.35" Snake Skin Super Soft Front / Schwalbe Hans Dampf 2.35" Snake Skin Super Soft Rear

      There is not very much to say about the Schwalbe Magic Mary. It is one of our favourite tyres for the most aggressive riding out there. Striking a great balance between speed and grip it is a great option for almost any track out there. The high-volume casing offers maximum braking traction and cornering grip, even in extremely muddy train thanks to the strong shoulder studs and aggressive, open tread design. Ride in dryer conditions? We find that the Magic Mary is perfect for finding traction where other options are simply left behind.

      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 loose to wet conditions with your EnduroWide wheels. It’s a great option if you want an aggressive, all round option knowing it has your back for most conditions.

      "At just £399 for the pair, with a ton of options, a fair crash replacement policy and test-leading ride quality, it’s very hard to look past Hunt’s Enduro Wide wheelset."

      "Smooth yet accurate, snappy yet forgiving, our testers were consistently impressed by this wheelset."

      "Who needs carbon when the HUNT Enduro Wide is as good as this"

      "I’m looking at treating myself to a new bike later this year, and these Hunt Enduro Wides are at the top of my shopping list for me to spend my own hard earned cash on. Aside from a rogue impact that I’m willing to shoulder all responsibility for, they’ve been bomb proof throughout the last six months, soaking up all the north Lakes can throw at them."
      Singletrack Logo

      "Hunt Endurowides are a great option for those looking for a good wheelset on a budget."

      "Pulling the rear hub apart after five months of abuse without being serviced, the internals were surprisingly clean and still covered in a thin layer of grease, which is great praise for the sealing qualities of the freehub. Clearly, abuse in the sloppy UK winters was considered when Hunt were designing these hubs"
