HUNT 54 AERODYNAMICIST CARBON DISC WHEELSET
Description
The 54 Aerodynamicist Carbon Disc benefits from the further trickle-down effect of HUNT's in-house engineering team's Aerodynamicist rim profiles, as first seen on the 48 Limitless Aero Disc. The rim used is the same as in the 54 UD Carbon Spoke Disc, but paired with conventional steel spokes.

Features
-
Aerodynamicist Rims: Aerodynamicist 29mm-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 SL Hubs: Light, reliable, race-winning, and easy-to-service. Sprint SL hubs feature a 48T heat treated stainless steel ratchet ring combined with 3 multi-point pawls. The system delivers a fast 7.5°engagement angle and proven durability.
-
Spokes: We chose the top-of-the-range Pillar Spoke Re-enforcement PSR XTRA models. These butted blade aero spokes are lighter but also provide a greater degree of elasticity to maintain tensions longer and add fatigue resistance

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.
