<h1>Nipples</h1><i>To accompany these high-end spokes we selected brass nipples for our Hunt 4Season wheels. Brass is strong and corrosion resistant plus it has self-lubricating properties to prevent issues that can arise from grit salt on the winter roads corroding the fine threads in alloy nipples. As well as the standard square body we chose nipples with a hex head so you can achieve precise tensioning.</i>

<h1>Bearings</h1><i>The heart of any wheel. Investing in them makes huge sense. We use high-grade precision sealed cartridge bearings with proprietary waterproof grease specially selected for even the worst weather.</i>

<h1>Freehub Body</h1><i>Durability is a theme for HUNT, as time and money you spend fixing is time and money you cannot spend riding or upgrading your bikes. This is especially important for a 4 Season bike you use regularly in harsh conditions. As a result, the freehub features our H_CERAMIK coating to provide excellent durability against cassette sprocket damage often seen on standard alloy freehub bodies.</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 and provide a greater degree of elasticity to maintain tensions and add fatigue resistance. These PSR J-bend spokes feature the 2.2 width at the spoke head providing more material in this high stress area. The nipples come with a square head so you can achieve precise tensioning. Combining these components well is key which is why all Hunt wheels are hand-built.</i>

<h1>Weight</h1><i>The consequence of the fanatic attention to detail is incredible durability and a resulting low 1594g gram wheelset weight. Acceleration and climbing are massively improved over many of the stock wheels supplied on road/gravel/CX disc brake bikes.</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>

<h1>Adaptability</h1><i>Our wheels are seriously future-proof. We can adapt your wheels to any current axle standard on the market, you just need to let us know what are your requirements by filling in the simple form on the confirmation page after checkout. As Shimano hydraulic brakes are appearing on many new bikes, we wanted riders to have the option so we went even more adaptable with centre-lock hubs.</i>

THE SECOND IN A LINE OF MASON X HUNT COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS. THE GO-TO 650B/27.5" WHEELS FOR YOUR GRAVEL/BIKEPACKING RIG

19 Deep | 29 Wide Ext | 25 Wide Int | 1594g

The Purpose

The second MASON x HUNT collaboration, bringing go-anywhere capabilities to bikes like the fast, fun and highly-versatile MasonCycles.cc Bokeh. The new breed of Adventure Sport focused bikes have the ability and attitude for those fun trail thrashes and bike-packing adventures, whilst not compromising anything for fast-far road days. Read More

The opportunity to open up your riding comes from bikes which have geometry designed to ride excellently with both 700c or 27.5" (650b) wheels. This combination works thanks to the extra volume in a 2" x 27.5" tyre, providing an almost identical external tyre diameter to a normal road sized 700c wheel with a 33mm tyre, leaving the bike geo unchanged. What was needed was a bike that could accommodate the extra tyre width, while still running road groupsets, geo and components. That is exactly what Mason have created, and perfected with their incredible eye-for-detail.

We’re delighted to have designed the wheels for the job. These wheels will perfectly compliment other gravel bikes with dual 650b/700c compatibility. Oh, and if you are looking for a 700c wheelset for your drop bar adventure/go-anywhere bike, then our 4 SEASON GRAVEL DISC would be well worth a look. Read Less

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. 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 100kgs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use minimum 30mm tyres at max 70psi 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 Fitting Options

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

These are only some of the options you can purchase with your wheels. To see the full range, click here

Schwalbe G-One Allround Tubeless Tyres - 650B x 1.5"

The Schwalbe Tubeless tyres consistently win plaudits from journalists and customers alike. We have been testing them for a long time and have been very impressed. The G-One's are Schwalbe's brand new gravel tyre, designed to offer a low rolling resistance yet offer plenty of grip on gravel and dirt tracks.

The highly respected German Magazine TOUR said: "Unbeatable with punctures... – the "self-repair" with sealant means that no tube can compare."

WTB Byway TCS Tubeless Tyres 650B X 47mm

The Byway Road Plus tyre brings supple plus-size traction and smooth riding characteristics even further into the dirt track. A smooth centerline and intermediate, diamon-shaped peaks provide great traction under power, while the more substantial side knobs protect the tyre from rocks or gashes.

WTB Horizon Tubeless Tires - 650B x 47mm

The Horizon Road Plus tyre brings supple plus-size traction and smooth riding characteristics beyond where the pavement ends. A smooth centerline and all-weather herringbone pattern with cornering channels make anything possible.
