The Purpose

Stretch the gaps and burn the legs of your riding compatriots with incredible fast riding performance. You will take the corners faster and tighter than ever before due to the 24mm rim width opening out your tyre profile and providing incredible grip.

The wide rim, working with a 25 or 28c tyre, will eat up rough roads allowing you to hold your line and carry your speed. The upgraded straight pull hubs and spokes reduce weight, add strength and respond instantly to your accelerations.

Please include the weight of any luggage in your total rider weight when choosing the correct wheels. If a rider is over 90Kgs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use minimum 25mm tyres at max 100psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset.

Reviews

Bike Magazine and Website Experts' Views

	5/5 Review "Incredible wheelset upgrade to boost not only climbing and sprinting but also everyday riding"
	Best in Test 10/10 Tubeless Wheels Grouptest "Hunt has done amazingly well to get these wheels out at such a competitive price with market smashing performance: without doubt this is a 10/10 wheel set"
	4.5/5 Star Review "The Hunt Race Aero Wide wheelset is lightweight, aero and wide, and they come in at a shade under £360, which makes them a perfect upgrade option for any bike with budget rims."
	RCUK 100 "Hunt may still be relative newcomers to the wheel market, but they’ve stuck their flag firmly in ground and continue to impress across the board; not just with these wheels – a point emphasised by the fact demand often outstrips supply. If you want a pair of these, you best be quick."
	Responsive From The First Pedal Stroke "The weight of the Race Aero Wide makes them responsive from the first pedal stroke, their moment of inertia appears basically low. It is immediately perceived a very high lateral and torsional stiffness, thanks to the wide camber angle of the spokes, significantly above the average. All this leads to a strict driving precision and an excellent performance during acceleration and drive-ability, at the level of many high range competitors wheels, much more expensive."
	Head to Head Winner "Lively in a way that is thoroughly satisfying...damn good value for money"
