Adventure rider, Josh Ibbett, has now returned to the UK with us extending out a big warm 'welcome back to the team’! We can’t believe that it has taken so long for us to catch Josh for the dreaded On The Drops! probably because he has been on some col in the Pyrenees or in a Mexican desert…

Adam has been a longtime follower of the Hunt story. As a mate of Dan Clark’s (Technical and Dispatch), Adam is frequently out exploring on this super versatile machine. As one to frequent the Lakes District or laps around Surrey/Sussex bridlepaths here in Hunt’s backyard, Adam has built this bike up with the ability for it to go the distance with minimal fuss.

We put Josh to work and asked him to devise the very first Hunt Bike Wheels Selectometer for wheels you would take on races like the TCR, Indy Pac, Trans-Atlantic Way or Race Across America.

Kicking off this first instalment is a ride everyone at TheRiderFirm has done. Created by Road and CX Brand manager Ollie, World Famous includes nearly 80km of Sussex/Surrey lanes and roads we love to head out on come the weekend. And if you’re interested in the name... click here...

The road season for Canyon Eisberg has truly taken off, after taking on a double-header this weekend just gone. Seven riders took on both The Netherlands' biggest single-day race, the Ronde Van Drenthe, and the Rabobank Dorpenomloop Rucphen.

When this Storck Aernario came through on our Instagram (@huntbikewheels) we immediately got in contact with Jason asking for some more! I think it is fair to say the Hunt team have a Storck obsession…

This week’s Cassette Mix takes us through Canyon Eisberg’s hitter, Max Stedman. Taking out the General Classification in the Tour of Quanzhou Bay as well as climbing to victory on the Queens stage, he certainly knows how to move a bike fast! 

Cal has been with the Mason tribe since the early days. As Mason’s first full time employee, he has seen the company go from strength to strength. Spending time pedalling around Sussex on his road machine and mountain bike, Cal prefers to keep it real and simple with his riding... although on the morning commute with the rest of the Hunt guys, you wouldn’t be able to tell!

The MASON x HUNT relationship is one which regularly features in the HUNT Journal. It is a relationship borne from the foundation of shared values. With a total of three wheelsets paying homage to a relationship built on similar values, we think it worth delving into how MASON x HUNT came to be.

This year the staple to Dom’s line up received a bit of a make-over. The bike now includes all of the latest technology to keep up with Mason’s “Make Progress” mantra.

Ride On!

The advent of 650B/27.5" has transformed how we see adventure bikes. Rivalling cyclocross bikes for efficiency, and cross-country mountain bikes for versatility, this wheel size speaks beyond their smaller size. Paired with a 2.0"/50mm tyre, the outside diameter will equate to that of a 700C wheel with a 28mm tyre - a feature that the latest gravel and adventure bikes take huge advantage of. 

Seeing these real-world ride benefits, and following popular demand, we have designed two completely new wheels with a go-anywhere, do-anything attitude. Introducing the no-compromise, super lightweight HUNT AdventureCarbon Disc, and the #FastFar MASON x HUNT 650B AdventureDynamo Disc wheels to light up your multi-day escapades...
