READER'S RAMBLE: LUISA'S CLIMBING SPECIAL

With one of the most interesting Giro's to ever happen in recent memory, we thought we'd share Luisa Grappone's (Hunt in-house engineer) ride up the Passo della Borcola. While the Borcola will rarely headline in the Giro, it packs a punch that even the climbers will feel.

CANYON EISBERG UPDATE: TOUR SERIES DOMINATION AND THE RAS

The hard work of Canyon Eisberg has come together, with a stunning streak of wins from the OVO Energy Tour Series. Harry Tanfield delivered a remarkable show of strength as Canyon Eisberg snatched the Tour Series lead in Stevenage.

HUNT DISCUSSIONS: IS XC DEAD?

After a long wait since the first World XC round, the classic Albstadt did not disappoint last weekend. But the promise of a more technical Nove Mesto got us thinking…

READER'S RAMBLE: SOUTH DOWNS WAY

The South Downs Way holds an almost legendary status for any die-hard, all-day, cross-country rider. And rightly so – it is, in the most literal sense, a ride across the country that jaunts through Hampshire, West Sussex and East Sussex. Stretching a grand total of 100miles from Winchester in the west to Eastbourne in the east, it is an all-day epic MTB ride.

THE CASSETTE #17: ANG'S XC MIX

This week’s Cassette has is the first ever inclusion from a Hunt team member’s parent: Hamish’s mum. Since this week is all about XC, we thought we’d reach out to Ang to spin us a few tracks that she puts on for an XC MTB ride.

READER'S RIDE: PACE RC129

This week's Readers Ride is our first ever MTB feature! With this, we thought it would be great to show you a bike which belongs to Hunt. That’s right – it’s our communal MTB used by all of us here when in need.

True freedom from charging during your bike-packing adventures, hassle-free commuting, and winter training. The SONdelux Dynamo powers your lights and charges your GPS/phone. Our HUNT 25mm wide rim, 4Season Disc rear hub, and 32-spoke build provide excellent durability wit

THE CASSETTE: DAN'S SEGGY MIX

We called upon in-house MTB film connaisseur Dan Clark to list his five favorite songs from riding films. We can almost guarantee that if you recognize these songs from their film, you will want to go out for a ride!

GLOBAL CYCLING NETWORK VERSUS JOSH IBBETT: ATLAS MOUNTAINS, MOROCCO

It seems every day we are hearing of Josh Ibbett taking off to somewhere remote to ride his bike. But this time around it was with a bit of a twist. Our friends over at Global Cycling Network invited Josh to teach them the ropes of bikepacking in quite possibly a place on every Bikepacker's bucket list - the Atlas Mountains.

#REDEFINEWIDE AERO TESTING: 50CAD BENCHMARK RESULTS

After much testing and analysis, here is the first release of data following our recent trip to the GST (Gesellschaft für Strömungsmeßtechnik mbH) as used by Canyon, in Southern Germany. Read on to find out how the HUNT 50 Carbon Aero Disc wheels with a 25c Schwalbe Pro One tyre produced the lowest drag on test!

In partnership with the expertise of engineers from Schwalbe, and the experience of our in-house aero-genius Luisa Grappone, we are in the process of designing a wheelset that maximises aerodynamic performance specifically optimised for 28c tyres… The ultimate modern aero road wheelset.

READER'S RAMBLE: HARD-MAN-DAN'S HILL CLIMB LOOP

For this week's Reader's Ramble, we could think of no better route designer than the local hardman famous for riding through just about anything... really fast...

READER'S RIDE: LEE'S SCOTT FOIL DISC

What better way to introduce our latest member of the Hunt staff team than not by introducing them personally, but by showing you their bike. Lee has joined us with a background in aerodynamics and working on concept project with the likes of Mercedes F1 racing.
