Hunt Sprint Aero Wide Rim Brake Wheelset
Hunt Bike Wheels Sprint Aero Wide Front Wheel
Hunt Bike Wheels Sprint Aero Wide Rear Wheel
<h1>Rims</h1><i>We've pushed the boundaries and added even more width and depth for extra grip, low aero drag and low rolling resistance. 24mm wide and 31mm deep rounded profile rim made from an enriched alloy that builds into a sub 1500g wheelset. HFR+ alloy is a material that uses a heat-treatment process which delivers outstanding weight, stiffness and durability meaning rims can be wider and deeper for better aero performance and yet remain super-light for excellent climbing and acceleration.</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 longer and add fatigue resistance. PSR spokes feature the 2.2 width at the head providing more material in this high stress area. Nipples are 14mm alloy, anodized and come with a hex head so you can achieve precise tensioning. Combining components well is key which is why all Hunt wheels are hand-built.</i>
<h1>Bearings</h1><i>The heart of any wheel. Investing in them makes huge sense. We use high-grade precision smooth-rolling sealed cartridge bearings by Japanese experts EZO. This wheelset has three of the rear hub bearings upgraded to S&S low-friction LU/LB seals on the internal bearing face to further reduce rolling resistance whilst maintaining excellent sealing on the exposed faces.</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>Skewers</h1><i>The little details matter, the HUNT Race Season quick-release skewers use brass for the cam, which has self lubricating properties. We have also upgraded to stainless steel springs in order to prevent rusting.</i>
<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 (hex spoke key provided with the wheels) to allow ease of tensioning and maintenance.</i>
<h1>Hubs</h1><i>Precision machined straight pull hubs and spokes add strength and enhance power transfer meaning all your force pushes you forwards.</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>Weight</h1><i>The consequence of the fanatic attention to detail, is a very low 1497g wheelset weight, especially for this aero depth and width combination. These wheels deliver your potential and then some. Go on, push even harder, they will reward you.</i>

RACE-READY PERFORMANCE ALLOY WHEELSET, WITH OUR FAST-ENGAGEMENT SPRINT HUBS FOR MAXIMUM POWER TRANSFER

31 Deep | 24 Wide Ext | 19 Wide Int | 1497g

The Purpose

Find the extra gear at the very last, sprint away from the competition, and look resplendent in the process! You will take the corners faster and tighter than ever before due to the 24mm rim width opening out your tyre profile and providing incredible grip. This is our fastest alloy rim-brake wheelset, and was used in UCI Continental level racing by the Canyon dhb p/b Bloor Homes UCI Continental pro team. Read More

The wide rim, working with a 25 or 28c tyre, will eat up rough roads allowing you to hold your line and carry your speed.The freehub body on the HUNT Sprint hub features 48 teeth on the ratchet ring, and treble-tooth pawls, providing incredible 7.5° engagement. Perfect for when the hammer goes down and you need an instant response.

The strong individual leaf-sprung pawls are louder than circular spring set-ups, but we think that is the right decision to make for this type of wheelset. Also, stiffness = speed... so we specced large 15mm diameter hub axles for sprinting and out-of-saddle climbing. Ease into them, your mates won’t know it’s the wheels!. Float up the climbs too, thanks to a sub 1500g bench-mark weight. 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. 100kgs 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 90Kgs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use minimum 25mm 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.

      Maximum tyre pressure for this rim is 100psi when used with 25-28mm tyres. Maximum tyre pressures for other tyre sizes: 30mm - 32mm do not exceed 70psi, 33mm do not exceed 50psi, 35-45mm do not exceed 45psi, 45-50mm do not exceed 40psi. 100psi is more than enough for any rider on road. Please do not exceed the maximum pressure stated on your tyre. Click here to listen to a podcast exploring the science of why lower pressures were found to be faster by pro teams.

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