DOUBLE DUTCH WITH CANYON EISBERG AT THE VAN DRENTHE & DORPENOMLOOP
The road season for Canyon Eisberg has truly taken off, after taking on a double-header this weekend just gone. Seven riders took on both The Netherlands' biggest single-day race, the Ronde Van Drenthe, and the Rabobank Dorpenomloop Rucphen.
READER'S RIDE: JASON'S STORCK AERNARIO
When this Storck Aernario came through on our Instagram (@huntbikewheels) we immediately got in contact with Jason asking for some more! I think it is fair to say the Hunt team have a Storck obsession…
THE CASSETTE #14: Max Stedman's Higher Calling Playlist
This week’s Cassette Mix takes us through Canyon Eisberg’s hitter, Max Stedman. Taking out the General Classification in the Tour of Quanzhou Bay as well as climbing to victory on the Queens stage, he certainly knows how to move a bike fast!
THE CASSETTE #13: Mason Design Studio Tracks
Step into the Mason barn and the first thing you’ll notices aside from the stunning Bokeh, Definition and Resolution bikes lined up is the amount of inspiration hanging, leaning and positioned on the 300-year-old walls. We reached out to Dom and asked him to compile a list of 5 Songs which he makes bikes too.
The Story Behind: MASON x HUNT
The MASON x HUNT relationship is one which regularly features in the HUNT Journal. It is a relationship borne from the foundation of shared values. With a total of three wheelsets paying homage to a relationship built on similar values, we think it worth delving into how MASON x HUNT came to be.
ON THE DROPS INTERVIEW: Cal Nicklin
Cal has been with the Mason tribe since the early days. As Mason’s first full time employee, he has seen the company go from strength to strength. Spending time pedalling around Sussex on his road machine and mountain bike, Cal prefers to keep it real and simple with his riding... although on the morning commute with the rest of the Hunt guys, you wouldn’t be able to tell!
READER'S RIDE: MASON DEFINITION2
This year the staple to Dom’s line up received a bit of a make-over. The bike now includes all of the latest technology to keep up with Mason’s “Make Progress” mantra.
Ride On!
NEW 650B WHEELS: ADVENTURECARBON & ADVENTUREDYNAMO
The advent of 650B/27.5" has transformed how we see adventure bikes. Rivalling cyclocross bikes for efficiency, and cross-country mountain bikes for versatility, this wheel size speaks beyond their smaller size. Paired with a 2.0"/50mm tyre, the outside diameter will equate to that of a 700C wheel with a 28mm tyre - a feature that the latest gravel and adventure bikes take huge advantage of.
Seeing these real-world ride benefits, and following popular demand, we have designed two completely new wheels with a go-anywhere, do-anything attitude. Introducing the no-compromise, super lightweight HUNT AdventureCarbon Disc, and the #FastFar MASON x HUNT 650B AdventureDynamo Disc wheels to light up your multi-day escapades...

ON THE DROPS INTERVIEW: Sam McCallum
Sam is our very first OpenDev member from Australia. Having caught our attention for his 5.5w/kg output and being the head coach at @Velo.Goals, the Melbournian spends a lot of time on the bike and helping others do the same. This season, Sam has already competed in the Aussie Nationals after returning from a winter spent in Thailand (Yes, you read that correct – even the Aussies escape their own winter!).
READER'S RIDE: Sam's Neil Pryde
Many moons ago, bikes were simple in their appearance often only with their maker's name adorning the downtube and maybe a stripe or two. And OpenDev rider Sam McCallum's ride is no different - but that is where a homage to the past stops for Sam's Neil Pryde Bura SL.
