The in-house engineering team at HUNT aimed to create the absolute fastest, no compromise, all-around road race wheelset up to and including 50mm in depth, while optimising for modern width road tyres (28mm and 30mm) and achieving the lowest system weight possible. Aero optimised for 28mm and 30mm tyres; works well with 28mm up to 45mm.
The in-house engineering team at HUNT aimed to create the absolute fastest, no compromise, all-around road race wheelset up to and including 50mm in depth, while optimizing for modern width road tyres (28mm and 30mm) and achieving the lowest system weight possible. The Sub50 Limitless takes what we learned from creating our disc-brake wheelset redefining 48 Limitless (34.5mm wide), which when launched in 2019 proved in the wind-tunnel to be the fastest in its category. From that industry leading change others have followed.
A further three-year engineering development process has elevated the performance again with the SUB50 Limitless. Offering riders wind tunnel proven best-in-class aerodynamic efficiency and stability, combined with tyre shape optimization, at an impressively low system weight of 1380 grams, the Sub50 Limitless once more sets the standard for all-round road racing wheels.
Limitless Technology
HUNT-patented manufacturing process which utilizes a strip of low-density structural polymer inserted in a molded channel within the rim sidewall with carbon molded over it, allowing for extra width while minimizing material mass.
Front & Rear Specific Rim Design
Through the extensive testing with CFD modeling and Wind Tunnel validation, our engineering team havedeveloped front and rear specific profiles (34.2mm wide by 49.5mm deep front, 30mm wide by 49.5mm deep rear) that maximize aero benefit while minimizing material mass. Wide where it matters, fast everywhere.
CeramicSpeed Bearings
The pro teams’ choice and the undisputed leader in low rolling resistance and high durability. One size does not fit all. CeramicSpeed bearings are custom fit for the HUNT H_Ratchethubset at the CeramicSpeed factory, with extreme tolerances measured within a thousandth of a millimeter.
Wind Tunnel Tested
Developed by HUNT’s in-house engineering team, leveraging CFD analysis and 3D prototyping, along with the proven validation method of wind tunnel testing, the HUNT engineering team has raised the expectation level for aerodynamic efficiency while simultaneously reducing the wheel system weight and increasing responsiveness, creating a world-beating combination of performance attributes.
UD Carbon Spokes
TaperLock UD carbon spokes offer up to a 30% increase in lateral responsiveness against steel equivalents. Only 2.7g per spoke and yet can handle tightening forces of ~450kgf per spoke.
FREE H_CARE
These wheels come with FREE LIFETIME CRASH REPLACEMENT. To ensure you're not out of pocket should the worst happen.
TECHNOLOGY
At Hunt technical performance is central to how we serve the rider. For our in-depth engineering development programs we produce a detailed research white paper to provide the full development methodology and data. Please click here to download the Sub50 Limitless white Paper.
WARRANTY
These wheels come with H_CARE (Free Lifetime Crash Replacement) for the first owners.
A full 3 years (4 years on CeramicSpeed bearings*) from purchase date warranty is offered to the original purchaser only on all HUNT wheels against material or workmanship defects, please click here to read full details.
All HUNT wheels models have to pass our harsh cobbled-rolling-road tests for rider weight limits, please see here for more details. Max system weight 125kg (system weight ? total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If a rider is over 105Kgs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly.
