Hunt 4 Season Range Explainer

We delve into our 4 Season range to help you choose which wheelset is right for you.

Lateral Responsiveness Testing: Steel Vs Carbon Spokes

Carbon vs Steel, which is more laterally responsive and why does it make a difference?

Is Bigger Better? Hunt Weighs in on 650B vs 700C

Should your next wheelset be 650B? We answer the questions you're asking

Hookless vs Hooked: An Explainer

The question in the minds of many riders - what is the difference between hooked and hookless?

Charging with a Dynamo: Explained

We offer a full range of Dynamo lights so you can forget about charging your lights on your daily commute or charging your GPS device on those multiday backpacking trips. But how do you use a Dynamo wheelset to run your lights and charge your devices?

HUNT Beyond Brand Manager, Josh Ibbett, talks you through the Dynamo setup that he used on this year's 2600mile Tour Divide in the USA. Watch the video to find out more...

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.

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.

Keeping it local… how to plan a local lockdown Gravel bike route

For most of us the world has changed in the past few weeks and lockdowns have been enforced in many countries across the globe. Some of us are still able to ride and others can’t yet go any distance from home. When riding resumes it's likely that it will only be possible in your local area so you need to be able to make the most of what's on your door step.

So what better time to make the most of your time in lockdown than planning local routes or exploring your local tracks and trails?

HUNT Engineering Paper - Gravel: Does Aero Matter?

As riders & racers of gravel, we’ve increasingly been discussing (and asked by our customers) whether or not aero is particularly relevant within the discipline. Working with Ernst at the GST Wind Tunnel and doing lots of number crunching, we wanted to find out if gravel speeds and wide tyres negated aero considerations.

Lateral Stiffness Testing: Steel vs Carbon Spokes

Knowing the material properties and therefore the potential in using their specially developed carbon fibre spokes opposed to steel spokes, HUNT wished to quantify the lateral stiffness performance gains. Further with increased stiffness and reduced weight of carbon fibre there is potential to optimize other characteristics of the wheel such as weight, spoke count and therefore its ride performance thanks to carbon fibre.

How to Pull Together Your Very Own Training Camp

Fiona Moriarty is a Neo-Pro Triathlete living in Portland, Oregon, and races for the Castelli Multisport team. For the pros, a solid block of training and time off before the start of a season is often key to success. For those who can't quite make triathlon their full-time job, it is even more crucial for success.

Coming back from a recent self-organized training camp in Arizona, she shares her top tips on creating your own training camp. Whilst some of the pointers revolve around heading somewhere new, we appreciate at this unprecedented time that this may be difficult to do.

However, many of the points made within the below guide (written weeks ago) do still apply to those of you who are able to train/exercise around your own homes. We hope you're able to get outdoors, but please ensure that whenever you do so that you do it responsibly, stay safe and be mindful of others.
