HUNT 50 Carbon Disc Wheelset

Building on the Grand Tour Stage-winning performance of the original 50 Carbon Aero Disc, this updated wheelset features a wider, all-road ready rim profile that optimises aerodynamic gains for modern tyres.

Featuring our ratchet hub system, the HUNT 50 Carbon Disc was built for speed and versatility, ready to upgrade your ride for any crit, road or gravel race out the box. To capitalize on the benefits of a modern disc brake equipped bike, you need a wheelset that delivers proven aero benefits, wide tubeless tyre compatibility, quick acceleration, and rapid hub engagement.

Rims

30mm external rim profile with 22mm-wide internal rim bed with hooks.

Bearings

Precision stainless steel cartridge bearings with proprietary waterproof grease specially selected for the worst weather.

H_Ratchet 36T SGL

HUNT H_Ratchet 36T SGL hub system with J-bend spoke interface and extra bearing shielding. 10-degree engagement angle with 36 tooth ratchet internals.

The 50mm deep U-shape carbon rim profile offers measurable aero benefits across a wide range of wind yaw angles, while the 22mm-wide internal rim bed opens out your tyre profile to provide exceptional vibration reduction, improved cornering traction and low rolling-resistance. Proven in wind tunnel, the 50 Carbon Disc offers an 8 watt aerodynamic advantage using MWAD compared to a standard, 25mm-deep alloy wheelset, and gives up only 4 watts compared to the fastest wheels in the segment, such as our SUB50 Limitless Aero Disc and ENVE 4.5 SES, when tested with 28mm tyres. Optimized for 25-35mm tyres (ETRTO compatible with road and gravel tyres ranging from 25mm to 55mm) to keep you at the front of the group, whether on a closed criterium course or a scenic gravel loop.

The HUNT team have paired the wide hooked rim with the H_Ratchet 36T SGL hubs, offering a rapid 10-degree engagement angle, in a reliable, easy-to-service and long-lasting single-sided ratchet drive system. Increased engagement surface area improves power transfer and longevity of the hubs, while using less material compared to a spring-and-pawl system, resulting in a light but robust hub system designed and tested to cope with the increased torque of 1x drivetrains.

Hand-built with top-of-the-range Pillar PSR triple butted J-bend spokes and precision sealed cartridge bearings, this wheelset is ready to help you pick up the pace.

Tyre size: Optimised for 25 to 35mm tyres; work well with 25mm up to 50mm.
