VR Racing 101: What You Need to Know

With this new flood of racing, we thought we'd go into a little more detail on the types of racing out there and how you can win yourself a slot to the (Non-Virtual) IRONMAN World Champs 70.3 race.

Bikecheck | Fede's Bombtrack Hook EXT Bikepacking rig

Federico Cabrera has been running 'Their Only Portrait' for the past 5 years. 'Their Only Portrait' is a project where Fede bikepacks around South America and takes and gives photos to local people in their small communities, which may be the only photograph they may have of themselves and their families. You can read more details about the project HERE.

For his latest trip Fede rode this Bombtrack Hook EXT. The Hook EXT has plenty of mounting points which is essential for Fede to carry his camera equipment and printer.

Film | Into the Rift

Into The Rift documents the inaugural Atlas Mountain Race, a 1200km self-supported bikepacking race around the Atlas Mountains in Morroco.

HUNT Beyond riders Jenny Tough and Sofian Sehili both emerged as winners, and feature prominently in the film.

On the Hunt | Andrew Jackson

At the beginning of the year, Hunt's Brand Manager Ken hosted several gravel group rides with the local Rapha chapter in Los Angeles. It was on one of these rides, that we...

Staying Injury Free with Samantha Bosco

For those who don't know Sam, she's a highly decorated Paralympic athlete who at her debut at the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games secured a bronze in both the road time trial & track pursuit.

HUNT Beyond: Supported Rider Bike Checks

The Gravel racing season is now upon us, or at least it should be. It looks like many of the gravel races planned for the year are now going to be postponed until safer times. However, that doesn't mean that there are not plenty of amazing gravel bikes sat around waiting to travel the world to some of the biggest gravel events and races.

We caught up with 5 HUNT Beyond supported riders, to run the bike check of all bike checks and see what bikes they are planning to race later in the year.

Off The Drop | Isla Short | XC World Cup Racer

We are super stoked to have Isla on our wheels for this season. With some race dates now being confirmed for this year, it's looking like September will be the start of the season. Isla will not only be racing for us but will also be helping us develop some top-level wheels designed to make the fastest of racers go even faster. Here is what she had to say when we sat down with her for a chat.

Film | Tugende, the 2020 Race Around Rwanda, a bikepacking story by Ryan le Garrec

Tugende is the latest creation from friend of Hunt, Ryan Le Garrec. Ryan, along with Lander Deldime have been covering bikepacking races for the past few years bringing a unique view to the world of ultra.

Their latest project was to follow the inaugural Race around Rwanda at the start of February. Tugende is the result of all their hard work and is now online.

Opportunities are Knocking

While continuations of protectionary Stay-At-Home measures are still shaping our day to day lives, we hope everyone is staying safe and abiding by their respective government's rules. While our thoughts are with those who have been and will be affected by this virus, we are hoping to spread a little motivation for those of us who need it. What follows below is the experience of our very own USA Brand Manager, Ken...

"In a recent email communication with my coach, we began talking about how with the cancelation of races and events he's been seeing athletes, left and right, scrambling for goals to aim for. As I'd been listening to the news a lot prior to our conversation (so not in the brightest of head-spaces), we discussed a mental reframing exercise that helped me, and thus I'm hoping it helps you."

Canyon dhb 2020 Race Bike

The veil has finally been lifted on Canyon dhb's bikes for this year. Whilst it's unclear when these will see tarmac in a competitive environment, there's absolutely nothing to stop any of us enjoying looking at pictures of epic race bikes.

HUNT Tech | CFD Explainer Video

From the many conversations we've had with our customers, the media, & riders, over the past year or so, we've been pleasantly surprised at the extent of the interest shown in the introduction of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to our engineering processes. So, we thought we'd do something about it. We created this explainer video to help riders develop their own understanding of the value of CFD as a research tool.

Gosse's New Gravel Bike

Time for another pro bike check! This time, it's Gosse's 2020 gravel racer.

The plan WAS, for Gosse to hit up some gravel events this season. He was coming with us over to Dirty Kanza, as well as returning to the Dirty Reiver and hit up some lesser known events in Scandinavia.

Alas, we'll sit & hold tight for now, and be sure to take you along for the ride with us when we're able to ride & race some of these events again. Until then, who better to talk you through his new bike than the man himself?
