A brand new set of Hunt Sub50 Limitless UD aero highway wheels pair ultra-wide entrance & rear particular rims to carbon spokes & ratchet hubs to lose numerous weight whereas going sooner into the wind. Now with aerodynamics re-optimized for 28mm & 30mm tires, these 49.5mm deep Hunt Sub50 Limitless Aero Disc weigh as little as 1380g per set. And Hunt’s open-access wind tunnel information reveals them outperforming the business’s greatest wheels as much as 50mm deep, on par with deeper wheels, and in addition weighing fairly a bit lower than different aero wheels that come shut.
Hunt Sub50 Limitless Aero Disc highway wheels get sooner AND lighter
I’m simply going to supply a fast PR electronic mail quote as a result of I respect its brevity & effectivity:
“TL;DR: Entrance & rear particular hookless rim profiles (34mm broad exterior entrance/30mm broad exterior rear), UD carbon spokes, and all-new ratchet hub design create an unmatched system weighing simply 1380 grams per pair.”
Hunt’s first foray into Limitless aerodynamic optimization resulted within the “world’s quickest” Hunt 48 Limitless Aero Disc wheels that set a Paris-Roubaix pavé KOM, earlier than being raced on the World Tour and even being ridden to a Giro stage win in 2012 by Victor Campenaerts. They had been the first-ever highway wheels to be wider than 30mm exterior to learn from trendy broad tire aerodynamics. They teed up deeper 60 Limitless highway and 42 Limitless Gravel wheels. They usually featured a singular patented-filler development methodology that preserve weight in test.
However apparently the professionals & quickest riders wished even lighter weight with their broad tire aerodynamics.
And that’s what they received…
What’s new?
Due to all-new entrance & rear rim shapes, each with 23mm inner hookless tubeless beads. The blunt-nosed 34.2mm broad exterior rim up entrance results in smoother airflow by the cleaner air the rider enters. And the extra v-shaped 30mm exterior rim out again saves weight whereas slicing by the turbulent air coming off the bike and rider’s legs.
