A mid-depth, lightweight all-round road wheelset for devoted riders and racers. The wind tunnel-developed 44mm Aerodynamicist profile reduces drag and shrugs off crosswinds with a wide, blunt profile, making it a favorite for the riders of Team Coop-Hitec for undulating stages at the Tour de France Femmes.

HUNT Sprint SL hubs offer high strength-to-weight properties and engage rapidly (7.5 degrees), ensuring your pedaling efforts push you forward efficiently.

Tyre size: Aero optimized for 25 to 28mm tyres; work well with 23mm up to 40mm.

BIKERUMOUR REVIEW

"It’s easy to say they’re great for the price, because they are. But the Hunt 44 Aerodynamicist wheels hold their own against more expensive offerings, too. And they look great doing it."

Re:New Grading

RE:NEW wheels have been graded into three categories:

NO Grade (30% OFF) - As New - you won't be able to tell they have been ridden.

Grade A (40% OFF) - Light use - Slight cosmetic marks on the wheels.

Grade B (50% OFF) - Used - It may have cosmetic marks to the hub or rim and will show signs of use - they have been serviced and checked by our master wheel builders and will provide many more miles of use.

The Purpose _

The 44 Aerodynamicist Carbon Disc Wheelset being used out on the road

The Purpose _

The 44 Aerodynamicist Carbon Disc benefits from the further trickle-down effect of HUNT's in-house engineering team Aerodynamicist rim profiles, as first seen on the 48 Limitless Aero Disc. The rim used is the same as in the 44 UD Carbon Spoke Disc, but paired with conventional steel spokes.

Note

Please note these are refurbished wheels and some specifications may vary. These wheels have been inspected by our expert wheel builders and they come with our 3 year warranty as found on our new wheel products.

KEY FEATURES_

Sprint SL Hubs

Light, reliable, race-winning, and easy-to-service. Sprint SL hubs feature a 48T heat treated stainless steel ratchet ring combined with 3 multi-point pawls. The system delivers a fast 7.5°engagement angle and proven durability.

Aerodynamicist Rim Profile

As learned from our Limitless Research project & consistent wind tunnel time across the past 2 years, we know that an optimum aerodynamic benefit for a drop-bar bike is yielded from widening rim profiles. The reasons for this is that it allows for a far more 'blunted' spoke bed area, which (depending on which part of the wheel you're looking at) is both the leading and trailing edge.

Aerodynamicist Rim Profile

The benefits of blunted spoke bed areas revolve primarily around the predictable airflow, with the wind ‘hugging’ the rim as it passes across it (as opposed to older style V-shaped rims, which would create turbulence in the form of stalls). The wider profile ensures the flow stays attached to the surface as long as possible before the point of separation, which is key as yaw angles increase.

Rim Bed

H_LOCK is our tubeless-ready rim bed profile with up-kicks to the shoulders of the tubeless steps which help to create a great rim-well seal for first installation and easy sealing of tubeless tyres. The H-Lock profile also locks the beads in place more securely once seated. This is especially important when running lower pressures off road.

Spokes

We chose the top-of-the-range Pillar Spoke Re-enforcement PSR XTRA models. These butted blade aero spokes are lighter but also provide a greater degree of elasticity to maintain tensions longer and add fatigue resistance. PSR spokes feature the 2.2 width at the spoke head providing more material in this high stress area. The nipples come with a hex head so you can achieve precise tensioning. Combining these components well is key which is why all HUNT wheels are hand-built.

Sprint SL Hubs

SPRINT SL hubs add strength and enhance power transfer, meaning all your force pushes you forwards. Large 15mm diameter hub axles for sprinting and out-of-saddle climbing responsiveness. Circular dropout interface steps add extra stiffness.

Freehub Body

Featuring a 3 multi-point pawls with 3 teeth each and a 48 tooth ratchet ring results in an impressively low 7.5 degree engagement angle and excellent resistance to wear under heavy loads. The Sprint SL freehub has strong individual pawl springs which engage quicker. There is also a Steel Spline Insert re-enforcement to provide excellent durability against cassette sprocket damage often seen on standard alloy freehub bodies.
