RE:NEW HUNT Race Aero SuperDura Wheelset
<h1>Rims</h1><i>The Race Aero SuperDura has a 24mm wide and 31mm deep rounded profile rim from Niobium enriched alloy. Niobium alloy is a proprietary material and uses an advanced T10 heat-treatment process. The process delivers outstanding weight, stiffness and durability meaning rims can be wider for 25 and 28mm tyres, deeper for better aero performance, light for excellent climbing and acceleration and capably handle the increased loads and torque that more powerful riders can dish out.</i>
<h1>Rims</h1><i>The wheelset utilises our strongest rim material in the tried and tested profile from our Race Aero Wide wheels. We've added even more width (24mm external and 19 internal) and depth (31mm) for extra grip, comfort, low aero drag and low rolling resistance advantage. It's also important to note that widening the rim increases the air volume for any given tyre size thus creating better shock absorption which is especially useful for higher loading/more powerful riders.</i>
<h1>Hubs</h1><i>The hubs on the Race Aero SuperDura benefit from larger 12mm front and 15mm rear axles. This combined with them being machined from hard and strong 7075-T6 heat treated alloy means that they easily withstand the higher loads created by larger riders. Plus the cold forged then CNC machined hub shell means the metal grain structure is ideally aligned to handle the high spoke loads, the work hardening from the cold forging also adds extra strength.</i>
<h1>Freehub Body</h1><i>Featuring a 3 multi-point pawls with 3 teeth each 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 engage quicker. There is also a Steel Spline Insert re-enforcement to provide excellent durability against cassette sprocket damage often seen on standard alloy freehub bodies.</i>
<h1>Wheel Build</h1><i>Combining these components well is key and all Hunt wheels are hand-built. Build tensions are measured precisely and the radial front wheel handles steering and weight loading forces while the 3 cross rear creates a wheel that delivers drive torque effectively to the rim whilst also increasing the amount of hub-flange material supporting the head of each spoke which makes them even more resistant to long term high load fatigue.</i>
<h1>Rim Bed</h1><i>H-Lock is our tubeless-ready rim bed profile with up-kicks to the shoulders of the tubeless steps which help to create a great rim-well seal for first installation and easy sealing of tubeless tyres. The H-Lock profile also locks the beads in place more securely once seated. This is especially important when running lower pressures or riding off-road.</i>
<h1>Skewers</h1><i>The little details matter, the Hunt Race Aero SuperDura quick-release skewers use brass for the cam which has self lubricating properties and we have even have upgraded to stainless steel springs so they don't rust. The quick-releases are designed and tested to exceed 1000kg of tensile breaking force.</i>
<h1>Rim Profile</h1>
<h1>Nipples</h1><i>Lightweight alloy nipples are the right decision to make for a high-performance wheelset where weight matters, plus we use longer 14mm nipples to provide great strength and a long thread connection with the spokes. The nipples also feature square bodies with a hex head to allow ease of tensioning and maintenance.</i>
<h1>Bearings</h1><i>The heart of any wheel. Investing in them makes huge sense which is why we chose TPI. Their high-grade precision sealed cartridge bearings are trusted by many of the world's leading engineering, cycling and automotive companies. The bearings we specced in the SuperDura wheels are upgraded to LU/LB seals which are low-friction sealed on the internal bearing face, to reduce rolling resistance and increase your speed, whilst providing maximum double contact sealing on the exposed faces.</i>
<h1>Spokes</h1><i>28 front and 32 at the rear, vastly reduces the fatigue on each spoke, and each spoke hole at the hub and rim, as the rider load is spread over many more spokes. 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 head providing more material in this high stress area.</i>
<h1>Tyres</h1><i>At HUNT, we enjoy the puncture resistance and grip benefits of tubeless on our every-day rides so we wanted to allow our customers the same option. Of course, all of our tubeless-ready wheels are designed to work perfectly with clincher tyres and inner tubes too.</i>

THE GO-TO FOR POWERFUL RIDERS REQUIRING STIFFNESS AND DURABILITY. INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE WITH A RIDER WEIGHT LIMIT OF 130KG

31 Deep | 24 Wide Ext | 19 Wide Int | 1595g

The Purpose

The race wheelset for riders up to 130kg, inspired by and developed alongside Hunt OpenDev team member (and ex-pro Leicester Tigers rugby player) Will Johnson. Speed and strength in equal measure. Read More

Will has been a member of our Hunt OpenDev team since we launched it in March 2016. Will and a friend, also a professional rugby player (who weighed 125kg), both bought 4Season Dura wheels (suggested max rider weight 110kg) from us in January 2016 as winter wheelsets. Then they both rode the Paris-Roubaix Sportive on them, that was a nervous day for us here! The two of them successfully completed Roubaix on the 4Season Dura wheels but fancied something with more of a performance focus and some weight-saving over the low profile/round-spoked/brass-nippled 4Season Duras.

So with Will's input we designed the new Race Aero SuperDura wheels. They feature a deep and wide rim combined with bladed aero spokes for extra wind-cheating advantage. The high-spec components build into a sub-1600g wheelset, and yet high (28/32) spoke count and seriously strong rim material result in wheelset that can truly handle the power of larger riders.

      • Warranty, HUNT Rolling Road Tests & 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 cobbled-rolling-road tests for rider weight limits, please see here for more details. 130kgs 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 minimum 28c tyres at max 100psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset. 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.

      Tubeless Tyre Options

      We can supply or fit tubeless tyres (including sealant) to your wheels, they are also designed to work excellently with clincher tyres and tubes.

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