<h1>Patented Limitless Technology</h1><i>In order to create the most aerodynamic & stable shape for a 28mm tyre, a rim bed of 22.5mm is needed. With the tyre profile this creates, the ideal shape of the rim curves out to an external width of 35mm. To achieve the optimal shape without the associated weight penalty, we use a (non-structural) low density expanding polymer insert, inside a channel carved out during the production process.</i>
<h1>Patented Limitless Technology</h1><i>This is bonded to the carbon during the curing process, resulting in a uniform and strong bond. The density of carbon is 1.6g per cubic centimetre, whereas the polymer insert weighs just 0.7g per cubic centimetre, resulting in a (rotational) mass loss of just over 50g per rim. This patented technology enables us to consider the limits of material properties, and smash right past them.</i>
<h1>CeramicSpeed Bearings</h1><i>You can spec your Limitless wheels with CeramicSpeed's industry-leading hybrid ceramic bearings. All CeramicSpeed ball bearings are Grade 3 Silicon Nitride, featuring the highest achievable surface finish and roundness. The quality of the balls determines the performance and lifetime of a bearing. The CeramicSpeed Balls feature unparalleled impact strength, smoothness, roundness and brittleness.</i>
<h1>UD Carbon Spokes</h1><i>TaperLock UD carbon spokes offer up to a 30% increase in lateral responsiveness compared to steel equivalents. Only 2.7g per spoke and yet can handle tightening forces of ~450kgf per spoke. Owing to the TaperLock technology, these spokes can be trued using a spoke key from inside the rim bed.</i>
<h1>Tyre Width Optimisation</h1><i>Our 48 Limitless road rims are optimised for a 28mm Schwalbe Pro One. Patented LIMITLESS technology allows for a 22.5mm rim bed and a huge 34.5mm external rim width, meaning the rim sits far wider than the tyre for aerodynamic efficiency.</i>
<h1>SLC Hubs</h1><i>Our SLC hubs are developed specifically for UD carbon spokes, and boast a high strength-to-weight ratio owing to their forged 7075 construction.</i>
<h1>Freehub Body</h1><i>Featuring 3x treble-tooth pawls and a 48 tooth ratchet ring, resulting in an impressively low 7.5-degree engagement angle. 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>

More details Right

The combination of two flagship HUNT technologies, resulting in the ultimate riding experience.

48 DEEP | 35 WIDE EXT | 22.5 WIDE INT | 1511G | CeramicSpeed

The Purpose

The fastest sub-50mm rims in the world, paired with our UD Carbon Spoke technology. The result is a wheelset offering complete, all-round performance across the board. Superior aerodynamic efficiency and crosswind stability, with added responsiveness and lower system weight.

Aerodynamicist Logo

The ultimate in aerodynamics. Designed specifically to meet the needs of the modern rider, at the speeds they ride at. We ride at a range of wind yaw angles far greater than previously considered, and so HUNT Limitless is able to deliver aerodynamic supremacy across a wide range of riding and at real-world speeds.

Hunt Carbon Spoke Logo

6% more laterally responsive than identical steel spoked wheels, with significantly less weight. Further benefiting from the high-frequency vibration absorption capabilities of carbon fibre in the UD spokes, as well as the rim. Please see the graph in the image gallery below.

SLC Hubs

HUNT Sprint SLC hubs add strength and enhance power transfer, meaning more of your power pushing you forwards. The hub shell is a cold-forged 7000 series alloy, offering a greater strength-to-weight ratio than extruded 6000 series alloys. Large 15mm diameter hub axles for sprinting and climbing responsiveness. Circular dropout interface steps ensure a secure fitment.

Aerodynamics: Steel vs. UD Carbon Spokes

We've wind tunnel tested our new 48 and 60 Limitless UD Carbon Spoke Disc wheelsets against our original steel spoke version, as well as their relevant competitive set. Compared to their steel spoke counterparts, both the 48 and 60 Limitless UD Carbon Spoke Disc wheelsets perform very similarly (within the margin of error for standardized wind tunnel testing), suggesting there is no material aerodynamic penalty associated with the bladed UD Carbon Spokes. To review all the wind tunnel data, we welcome riders to review the provided graphs below.

    A full 3 years (6 years on CeramicSpeed bearings) from purchase date warranty is offered to the original purchaser only on all HUNT 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. Max system weight 120kg (system weight – total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If a rider is over 105Kgs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use tyres at max 90psi 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.
