THE FIRST CHOICE FOR BIG DAYS IN THE MOUNTAINS. ULTRALIGHT HOOKLESS AERODYNAMICIST RIMS, PAIRED WITH UD CARBON SPOKES TO CREATE THE ULTIMATE CLIMBING WHEELSET.

32 DEEP | 25 WIDE EXT | 21 WIDE INT | 1213G

The Purpose

We created the 32 Aerodynamicist UD Carbon Spoke Disc wheelset for riders who seek out the high mountains. The result of extensive research and development, and years of experience progressing proprietary HUNT Aerodynamicist designs, we paired lightweight, hookless rims with UD Carbon Spokes for added lateral stiffness, as well as further weight reduction. Laced to our new cold-forged Sprint SLC hubs with rapid 7.5-degree engagement and enhanced power transfer, this wheelset is exceedingly lightweight at 1213 grams, while still offering the responsiveness, reliability and serviceability that HUNT riders have come to expect.

6% more laterally responsive than identical steel spoked wheels, with significantly less weight. Further benefiting from the high-frequency vibration absorption capabilities of carbon fibre in the UD spokes, as well as the rim. Please see the graph in the image gallery below.

Aerodynamicist 32mm-deep and 25mm-wide rim profile, exclusively engineered and wind tunnel tested by HUNT's in-house engineering team, featuring a hookless/straight-sidewall and ETRTO-compliant tubeless-ready rim, designed for tubeless tyre compatibility.

Includes FREE H_Care lifetime crash replacement for the first owners of these wheels. Read all about it here.

Key Features

THE ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE OF CARBON SPOKES, IN A USABLE PACKAGE

A feature-packed, no compromise wheelset for those headed uphill.

Rims | 700c Hookless/Straight-Sidewall Design | A hookless rim design allows for the lightest possible rim while still maintaining strength and reliability.
Tyres | 21mm internal rim width, optimized for superior aerodynamic performance with a 28mm tubeless tyre. Please note, clincher tyres must not be used on hookless rims. Always consult the tyre manufacturer’s guidance for compatibility with hookless rims.
FastEngage 7.5 Hubs | Sprint SLC hubs add strength and enhance power transfer, meaning more of your power pushing you forwards. The hub shell is a cold-forged 7000 series alloy, offering a greater strength-to-weight ratio than extruded 6000 series alloys. Large 15mm diameter hub axles for sprinting and out-of-saddle climbing responsiveness. Circular dropout interface steps ensure a secure fitment. Center-Lock brake mount.

Tyres Info

For the 32 Aerodynamicist UD Carbon Spoke HUNT recommend a 28mm tyre for best performance, tyre widths between 25mm and 65mm are also safe to use. 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. Note: best performance is usually gained by using tyre pressures lower than the maximum, you can see our blog post here about this.
Only use tyres marked as compatible with hookless (TSS) rims. You must not exceed the maximum pressure stated on your tyre.

Suitable tubeless road, gravel and CX tyres are available from a huge range of companies.
