Disc brake bikes have quickly become the norm in road races, criteriums, and even time trials, from the amateur ranks to the WorldTour, due to the numerous advantages provided.

Introducing the 50 Carbon Aero Disc, a HUNT best-seller and rider favorite, proven at the highest level of the sport. We’re proud to offer you the exact wheelset raced to victory on Stage 11 of the 2021 Giro d’Italia by Mauro Schmid of Team Qhubeka-ASSOS. Read More

WANT TO ADD TUBELESS TYRES?

We can supply or fit tubeless tyres (including sealant) to your wheels.

The wheels are also designed to work excellently with clincher tyres and tubes. See recommended tyre options here.

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.

SPECS OVERVIEW

THE ULTIMATE ROAD DISC WHEELSET

Rims
Features disc-specific, unidirectional T24/30 rims, offering 19mm internal and 27mm external widths, and a 50mm u-shape aero profile.
A strong and super-lightweight rim featuring unidirectional T24/30 carbon fibre with 3K weave re-enforced spoke holes. The wide aero profile delivers excellent handling and speed. The evolution of disc brake specific construction has allowed massive weight savings over equivalent rim-brake rims. The removal of braking forces on the rim allows a strong but very light rim to be designed that can focus on it's primary roles of supporting the tyre and spoke forces.

Tyres
Tubeless-ready for lower weight and rolling resistance, featuring H-Lock technology for easy and secure tubeless installation. Also works excellently with clincher tyres and tubes.
H-Lock is our tubeless-ready rim bed profile with up-kicks to the shoulders of the tubeless steps which help to create a great rim-well seal for first installation and easy sealing of tubeless tyres. The H-Lock profile also locks the beads in place more securely once seated. This is especially important when running lower pressures off road.

Hubs
Race Season SPRINT straight-pull hubs, boasting an engagement rate of just 7.5 degrees owing to the leaf-sprung, multi-point pawls and 48 ratchets in the hub shell.
Featuring 3 multi-point pawls with 3 teeth each and a 48t ratchet ring. The result an impressively low 7.5 deg engagement angle. Durability is a theme for Hunt as time and money you spend fixing is time and money you cannot spend riding or upgrading your bikes. As a result all our freehub bodies have Steel Spline Insert re-enforcements to provide excellent durability against cassette sprocket damage often seen on standard alloy freehub bodies.

Spokes
Pillar PSR reinforced spokes with a choice of Black or Ti-Nitride spoke coating for oil-slick rainbow look and increased wear and corrosion resistance.
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. PSR spokes feature the 2.2 width at the spoke head providing more material in this high stress area. The nipples come with a hex head so you can achieve precise tensioning. Combining these components well is key which is why all Hunt wheels are hand-built.

Axles
Easily adaptable & we fit them for you. Fit all current axle sizes and are easy to change; Front - QR, Bolt thru 12/9mm, Rear - QR, Bolt thru 12x142, 12x135, 10x135.

Included
Tubeless tape & valves, spare spokes, axle adapters (please fill in the simple form after checkout to select your required size).

Weight
1487g
The consequence of the fanatical attention to detail is an outstandingly light 1487 gram wheelset weight. Gone are the days when having a disc-equipped road bike always resulted in a weight penalty. You can now float up the climbs, and then brake later than the others on the way back down!
