The Purpose
Introducing the Team-Edition HUNT 44 Aerodynamicist Carbon Disc Wheelset, created to celebrate the strength, speed, and style of women’s UCI Continental Team Coop-Hitec Products, and commemorate their selection for the 2023 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. This special edition wheelset features the names of the start and finish towns integrated into the recognizable HUNT spoke graphic, encapsulating the essence of the team's journey through the eight-stage race.
The 44 Aerodynamicist Carbon Disc features HUNT’s Aerodynamicist rim profile, engineered and wind tunnel tested in-house. The mid depth wheel weighs in well under 1500 grams, while offering tangible aero benefit and excellent stability in crosswinds, making it an outstanding all-around road riding and racing wheel, as well as one of the favorites among the riders on Team Coop-Hitec Products. Every second counts at the Tour, so naturally the Sprint SL hubs are loaded with CeramicSpeed bearings to ensure no speed is sacrificed.
Aerodynamicist 29mm-wide rim, exclusively engineered and wind tunnel tested by HUNT's in-house engineering team, featuring a hooked & ETRTO-compliant tubeless-ready rim, designed for full clincher & tubeless tyre compatibility.
Includes FREE H_Care lifetime crash replacement for the first owners of these wheels. Read all about it here.
Following the release of our UD Carbon Spoke Disc range, many of you were asking if we could offer the Aerodynamicist rims found in that range with conventional steel spokes for usability & ease of maintenance.
As with all wheels featuring an Aerodynamicist profile, we've performed wind tunnel testing on the wheels to bring you the information on not only how these stack up against competitor wheelsets, but also how they sit within our range.
