HUNT Proven Carbon Enduro H_Core V3 MTB Mullet Wheelset

1879g Width ext Width int size
38 mm F31 / R30 mm Mullet

Redesigned for impact resistance and built around the H_Ratchet XL hub system. Leveraging the high strength-to-weight ratio of H_Core-reinforced carbon rims, HUNT engineers have created the strongest rear wheel in the category. Combined with a lower spoke count front wheel, this wheel system is strong enough to endure your biggest landings and rowdiest tracks, yet compliant enough to keep you on your line. Designed to upgrade hard-hitting enduro rigs to their fullest potential.

The Purpose _

The Purpose _

HUNT Proven Carbon Enduro H_Core wheels are built to withstand big hits at pace. Reinforced with H_Core technology and an anti-splinter carbon layer, the front and rear specific wheel designs have been tuned for optimal ride characteristics.

Hand-built around the H_Ratchet XL 40T DBL hubset, delivering 9° engagement and spinning on Enduro™ ABEC5 bearings for unmatched durability and performance. Paired with triple-butted spokes and brass spoke nipples with washers, this wheelset is the ultimate upgrade for aggressive riding, from enduro tracks to park laps.

H_Core in action_

Whether it’s race day or an after-work rip, H_Core’s got you. We spent the day on the hill with a couple of our athletes, turning tame trails into something a little more fun. H_Core dealt with the hits so they could keep pushing, laughing, and picking the worst lines—just ’cause.

Tyre Info
HUNT recommends a 2.3"-2.6" tyre for best performance, tyre widths between 1.9" and 2.8" are also safe to use.  Note: best performance is usually gained by using tyre pressures lower than the maximum, you can see our blog post about this, read here.   Tubeless-ready for lower weight and rolling resistance.   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.

HIGH SPECIFICATION COMPONENTS _

RIMS

H_Core reinforcement technology increases impact resistance significantly, resulting in the strongest enduro rear rim on the market. The front rim is designed for precision handling, featuring a 31mm-wide internal profile that enhances tracking and grip on technical terrain. Out back, the 30mm internal rim is engineered for strength and durability, with a reinforced layup and oversized 4mm sidewall dimensions to reduce the risk of pinch flats and enhance impact resistance.

SPOKES

We have chosen top of the line, triple butted Pillar Spokes with increased material reinforcement at the spoke head. Not only are these spokes extremely strong for their weight, they also provide a greater degree of elasticity under stress. The engineering team has selected 1.7mm butted spokes on the front wheel for compliance, paired with thicker gauge 1.8mm butted spokes in the rear for acceleration responsiveness and extra strength.

NIPPLES

With strength and durability at the forefront of our design and engineering priorities for enduro riding, brass nipples and washers were selected to offer superior corrosion resistance, ensuring a longer wheel lifespan and less frequent maintenance. Featuring a square body for external adjustment and a hex head for easy internal tensioning, these 16mm, 14-gauge nipples are anodized black for practical, long-lasting performance.

HUB SYSTEM

The H_Ratchet XL 40T DBL hub features a stepped 40-tooth double ratchet ring system, offering 9° engagement with an oversized inboard ratchet disc designed to handle higher torque loads. The CNC’d 6066-T6 heat-treated alloy body features a 6-bolt disc mount, with labyrinth bearing seals to keep the elements out. The oversized 17mm diameter 7075-T6 stepped axle boosts stiffness, improving bearing longevity by reducing misalignment. Polished anodized black finish with laser graphics. All freehub standards supported. H_CERAMIK freehub body coating protects against cassette gouging.

WARRANTY_

These wheels come with H_CARE (Free Lifetime Crash Replacement) for the first owners when used with single crown forks. Read all about it here

A full 3 years from purchase date warranty is offered to the original purchaser only on all Hunt bike wheels against material or workmanship defects, please click here to read full details.

Stated wheel weights: Our stated wheel weights reflect the wheelset only; without rim tape, tubeless valves or disc brake lock rings, as is industry standard. A 3% variance (lower or higher) in total system weight is normal for wheelset manufacturing.

All HUNT wheels models have to pass our harsh rolling-drum fatigue tests for rider weight limits, please see here for more details. Max system weight 140kg (system weight : total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If a rider is over 130Kg then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly.
