The sun hasn’t set on 2017 yet, but we quickly wanted to share a message of thanks with you on behalf of everyone at Hunt Bike Wheels for making this year such a special one.  

If you were to walk into your local bike store, there is a good to fair chance that you will hear some Christmas songs. Love it or hate it - there is no escaping it! Here is a list of Hunt's Christmas tunes.

The Mason X Hunt story is a long lasting one. Starting with the 4Season Disc wheels designed for their aluminium Definition and steel Resolution, the collaboration was expanded with the release of the adventure minded Bokeh.

Not to be considered an infurior material, a set of alloy rim equipped wheels can offer most of the perfomance benfits of a carbon set. Realising this gave Hunt co-founder, Tom Marchment, the inspiration to create hardy wheels like the 4Season Disc and the much loved Race Aero Wide.

We sat down Tom to ask him why he belives the metallic varitey of wheels is still a fantasic material which continues to inspire new up-and-coming wheelsets.

Tim Knowles is not known by the Hunt team in the UK, but is a good friend of Hamish's (our Australian Product Communications guy). After spending years heading one for the best independent grocers imaginable, Tim now spends his time working away at a local bike store. We asked Tim if he could put together five songs he is currently listening to on his daily commute. 

We first came across Gustav after watching a self made film of him riding 2000km over Scandinavia. As a lover of all things adventurous, Gustav spends a lot of his time exploring on and off the bike. His social media (Instagram) is filled of his expeditions on and off the bike and are beautifully shot. 

Between adventures we managed to catch Gustav for the dreaded On The Drops Interview and find out more about what keeps this crazy Dane going!

San Fransisco based, Soma Fabrications, get it right. The Wolverine crossed our paths when at Eurobike this year. It was certainly an eye catcher with those bars! Set up with SuperDura Dynamo Disc wheels, we finally managed to get our hands on a few professionally shot photos from the kind people over at Traffic Distribution (Soma's German distributor).

Some bikes are straight-up head-turners. Ones that catch the eye for being a little more left-of-centre seemingly send the cycling word into a frenzy. When the Canyon Inflite was released, it was instantly a hot topic here at Hunt. Some liked it, some didn't and now some have grown to like it. But one thing is for certain - it's different!

There is no secret that our customer service lead Jack's music taste extends beyond others. A fan of punk and hardcore where tracks are short, fast and loud, you won't find too much faff here!

Hank is more widely known for his efforts on the road. As a member of the Hunt supported BIKEChannel Canyon team, Hank spends the warmer months of the year racing UCI continental events around Europe and Britain. Now the off-season has fallen upon the peloton, so too has 'cross fever.
