<h1>Front Hub</h1><i>Suited to match the needs of the modern trail bike rider. Featuring durable bearings and 7075-T6 series alloy axles to increase stiffness. These hubs have been selected based on their ability to perform on the most aggressive trails. </i>
<h1>Rear Hub</h1><i>We create wheels to match the needs of riders who want the most from their wheels.

<h1>Spokes</h1><i>We have chosen top of the line, triple butted Pillar Spokes with increased reinforcement at the spoke head.

It creates a great rim-well seal for first installation and easy sealing of tubeless tyres. Still haven't made the switch? All our wheels are tube compatible as well.</i>

The Purpose _

The Purpose _

After almost three years of unwavering service on the toughest trails, with numerous awards and recognitions along the way, the restless design team at HUNT saw an opportunity to update the Trail Wide wheelset to meet the evolving demands of today’s riders.

Starting with what we learnt around profile optimisation from the burlier Enduro Wide V2 project, we set out to improve upon its lighter sibling, not an easy task with an Editor’s Choice-winning wheelset. Combining the all-new 30mm internal rim profile, with new hubs and spoke configurations, results in a wheel that keeps the outward appearance of it's predecessor yet provide 20% more impact resistance.

Designed as the answer to your trail centre weekends, back country epics or days spent smashing through your local woods - a wheelset that can do it all and leave you with a big grin.

KEY FEATURES_

Rims 

The TrailWide rim includes details that are high on the durability factor to make sure you finish every ride with a big grin. With a 30mm internal rim that provides support to the tyre when you drop into in a root strewn shoot or you're throttling down a high-speed section and folding a tyre is the last thing you need to happen!

Hubs

We create wheels to match the needs of riders who want the most from their wheels. The Trail Wide hubs have been chosen to increase stiffness, bearing durability and overall strength of your wheelset.

Spokes 

We have chosen top of the line, triple butted Pillar Spokes with increased reinforcement at the spoke head. Not only are these spokes extremely lightweight, they are also able to provide a greater degree of elasticity when put under increased stress.

Tyres Info
HUNT recommends a 2.4"-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.
