HUNT 50 CARBON AERO DISC WHEELSET - SHIMANO

Description

THE WIND-CHEATING ORIGINAL, RIDDEN TO GIRO D’ITALIA STAGE VICTORY BY TEAM QHUBEKA-NEXTHASH (MAURO SCHMID, STAGE 11, 2021 EDITION)

50 DEEP | 27 WIDE EXT | 19 WIDE INT | 1487G

Disc brake bikes have quickly become the norm in road races, criteriums, and even time trials, from the amateur ranks to the WorldTour, due to the numerous advantages provided. The revolution is happening and to capitalise on the benefits, you will need an aero wheelset that delivers speed in buckets. Introducing the 50 Carbon Aero Disc, a HUNT best-seller and rider favorite, proven at the highest level of the sport. We’re proud to offer you the exact wheelset raced to victory on Stage 11 of the 2021 Giro d’Italia by Mauro Schmid of Team Qhubeka-NextHash.

The super-wide 27mm rim provides superior aerodynamic performance. The U-profile serves up great handling and reduces drag across multiple wind yaw-angles. The wider 19mm internal rim bed opens out your tires profile providing exceptional vibration reduction, grip and low rolling-resistance.

The straight pull hubs and bladed spokes reduce weight, add strength and respond instantly to your accelerations. The freehub body on the HUNT Sprint hub features 48 teeth on the ratchet ring, and treble-tooth pawls, providing incredible 7.5° engagement. Perfect for when the hammer goes down and you need an instant response. We’ve even upgraded to LU/LB bearings which are low-friction sealed on the internal face to further reduce rolling resistance and increase your speed whilst maintaining excellent sealing on the exposed faces. The latest breed of tubeless tires give-up nothing in weight to their clincher counterparts, as well as removing the tube for weight saving and reducing rolling resistance, so tubeless was essential.
