HUNT 52 CARBON AERODYNAMICIST WHEELSET

Description

The fastest rim-brake wheels we've ever made, using 'Aerodynamicist' profiles as first used on our Limitless range. Ready to fly past the competition, whether road races, time trials or triathlons. We've been able to take the principles found during the Limitless research project (widening profiles below the edge of the rim to improve performance and stability across multiple yaw angles), and apply these to rims that make the absolute most of the space offered inside a conventional caliper brake.

Product Details

• Weight: 1548g
• Depth: 52mm
• Width Ext: 27mm
• Width Int: 19mm
• Size: 700c

Features

• Aerodynamicist Rim Profile: Aerodynamicist 27mm-wide rim, exclusively engineered and wind tunnel tested by HUNT's in-house engineering team, featuring a hooked & ETRTO-compliant tubeless-ready rim, designed for full clincher & tubeless tyre compatibility.

• Sprint Hubs: HUNT Sprint 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.

• CeramicSpeed Bearings: CeramicSpeed bearings are renowned for their low rolling resistance and unmatched durability, and are chosen by the top international athletes and teams around the world. EZO option also available.

• Elliptical Wing Spokes: After considerable testing across multiple spoke types, we found that the aerofoil profile of Pillar’s Wing 20 spokes offer even further aerodynamic advantages over flat/bladed options.

• Wind Tunnel Tested: Developed by HUNT's in-house engineering team, with years in the wind tunnel spent testing every last detail. We've left no stone unturned in designing this wheelset from the ground up to be very fastest in the world within its class.

Specifications

Rims

• Aerodynamicist rim-profiles, developed from the ground up & wind tunnel proven
• Toray T700/T800 unidirectional and 3K weave carbon-fibre with 3K weave bed and spoke areas.
• 27mm outer and 19mm inner width
• 52mm deep super-wide rounded aero section
• Hooked
• Tubeless-ready
• Griptec basalt ceramic fibre brake-track. Please note: We are not able to control other brands brake pad compounds and we cannot test every possible brake pad so please use only our HUNT Brakco Griptec carbon specific rim brake pads with these wheels. Two pairs of pads are included with your wheels and further sets can be ordered from here. We chose the Brakco Griptec pads because they outperform a lot of the market leaders’ best selling compounds in both dry and wet laboratory conditions.
• Matt black base finished with gloss black and white contrasting graphics.

Tires Info

• HUNT recommends a 25-28mm tyre for best performance, tyre widths between 22mm and 47mm are also safe to use.  
• Note: best performance is usually gained by using tyre pressures lower than the maximum
• Tubeless-ready for lower weight and rolling resistance. 
• You must not exceed the maximum tyre pressure limits set out in the table below or the maximum limit set by your tyre manufacturer if this is lower.
