Reviews & Press | Hunt Bike Wheels

"The combination of good weight and durability makes them a great option for everything from your short travel trail bike to your enduro bike making them a really versatile option."

It feels fast and agile, yet stable in crosswinds, and as lively and entertaining as far more expensive wheels. It can even hold a candle to many more expensive wheelsets in terms of enviable ride quality.

The Hunt Sub50 Limitless Aero Disc Wheelset is an all-round winning recipe now lighter and even faster

Hunt went all-out to lower the weight of its mid-depth wheelset with the Sub50, offering carbon spokes as an option and a redesigned, lighter ratchet freehub. It's retained the wide profile and aero optimisation and you can pick CeramicSpeed bearings if you value the lowest friction."

How the rim interacts with a tyre is important. A wider rim tends to support tyres to a squatter, wider shape, which can then interact more efficiently with the rim behind it – especially if they line up externally. In the case of the Hunt 50 Carbon Disc that meant a 700 x 28c Continental GP5000 S TR tyres inflated to 29.8mm wide, bringing a smoother interaction between tyre and rim.

“All in, I can’t fault the Sub50s. They are fast, they are light and they also look great... Plus, along with Hunt's other Limitless and Aerodynamicist wheels, the Sub50s are covered by Hunt’s H_Care warranty, which gives the original owner free lifetime crash replacement or repair."

'Buy if...you want a great value cross-country wheelset."

 "It is an excellent option to upgrade an original assembly without breaking the bank."

"On the trail, they exhibit an incredibly smooth, yet precise feel, offering a good level of smoothness while remaining laterally stiff enough to be hoofed into corners and hold lines consistently when battering through rock gardens and off-camber sections."

"Smooth yet accurate, snappy yet forgiving, we were consistently impressed by this wheelset."

"It is superb that such a critical component can perform as a fit-and-forget item, and even more so when you consider the excellent price point."

"Hunt's Proven Carbon Race XC wheels are tough and responsive while remaining compliant making for a very pleasant feel through the bike."
