HUNT Race Aero SuperDura Wheelset
31 Deep | 24 Wide Ext | 19 Wide Int | 1595g
THE GO-TO FOR POWERFUL RIDERS REQUIRING STIFFNESS AND DURABILITY. INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE WITH A RIDER WEIGHT LIMIT OF 130KG
31 Deep | 24 Wide Ext | 19 Wide Int | 1595g
The Purpose
The race wheelset for riders up to 130kg, inspired by and developed alongside Hunt OpenDev team member (and ex-pro Leicester Tigers rugby player) Will Johnson. Speed and strength in equal measure. Read More
Will has been a member of our Hunt OpenDev team since we launched it in March 2016. Will and a friend, also a professional rugby player (who weighed 125kg), both bought 4Season Dura wheels (suggested max rider weight 110kg) from us in January 2016 as winter wheelsets. Then they both rode the Paris-Roubaix Sportive on them, that was a nervous day for us here! The two of them successfully completed Roubaix on the 4Season Dura wheels but fancied something with more of a performance focus and some weight-saving over the low profile/round-spoked/brass-nippled 4Season Duras.
So with Will's input we designed the new Race Aero SuperDura wheels. They feature a deep and wide rim combined with bladed aero spokes for extra wind-cheating advantage. The high-spec components build into a sub-1600g wheelset, and yet high (28/32) spoke count and seriously strong rim material result in wheelset that can truly handle the power of larger riders.

Warranty, HUNT Rolling Road Tests & Weight Limits
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.
All HUNT wheels models have to pass our harsh cobbled-rolling-road tests for rider weight limits, please see here for more details. Max system weight 145kg (system weight – total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If a rider is over 125Kgs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use minimum 28c tyres at max 100psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset. We are cyclists ourselves and do of course go above and beyond to offer excellent service if you ever do experience any issues. We carry full spares at very reasonable prices and offer complete support.
60 Day Ride & Return Period. We are certain you'll be impressed by the acceleration, low-weight, speed and durability of our wheels. We are cyclists and as such strive to offer class leading service and support. Buy with confidence, if for any reason you wish to return the wheels for a full refund of your order you can do so up to a full 60 days after you receive them whether they have been ridden or not. Please note we cannot offer refunds on wheels that have suffered from crash damage but do offer a crash replacement discount.
