HUNT Trail Wide MTB Wheelset
Trail Wide: Ride Without Boundaries
27.5/29" | 30 Wide Int | 1757/1823g
The Purpose
The Trail Wide is your go to wheelset no matter the conditions. Optimized to take a no-nonsense approach on the descents and not hold you back on the climbs. The Trail Wide is the answer to your weekends at the trail centre; back country epics; days spent smashing through your local woods and late afternoon sessions on the piece of trail still being bedded in - so pretty much a wheelset which can do it all!
The Trail Wide rim includes details which are high on the durability factor to make sure you finish every ride with a big grin. The 6069-T6 series alloy rim sticks with the wider-is-better mantra. Designed around for 2.3"-2.5" tires, the wide 30mm (internal) rim provides support to the tire during hard cornering, landing in a root strewn shoot or when your throttling down a high-speed section and folding a tire is the last thing you need to happen!
The HUNT RapidEngage MTB hubs have been specced based on our demands for an MTB wheelset. That is a superfast engagement, long lasting hub pawls no matter the conditions you're riding in and to be optimized to accommodate the latest 148x12mm Boost (Rear) and 110x15mm Boost (Front) standard. A super low engagement of 3° means you will be able to put the power down straight out of the corners and not have any lag when jumping up those techy climbs.

Warranty, Support and Weight Limits
A full 3 years from purchase date warranty is offered to the original purchaser only on all Hunt bike wheels against material or workmanship defects, please click here to read full details.
All HUNT wheels models have to pass our harsh rolling-drum fatigue tests for rider weight limits, please see here for more details. 264lbs is the upper recommended rider weight limit for these wheels. Please include the weight of any luggage in your total rider weight when choosing the correct wheels. If a rider is over 240lbs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use tires at max 40psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset.
Crash replacement 40% off plus All HUNT wheels models have been designed to meet the needs of the type of riding they are intended for. We are cyclists ourselves and do of course go above and beyond to offer excellent service if you ever do experience any issues.

10/10 REVIEW"Lighter than most of the carbon wheels on test, the Trail Wides feel fast on the trail, and change direction rapidly. They also spin well with smooth, quality bearings and accelerate crisply under power. The rear wheel's super-fast engagement reacts as soon as you turn on the power at the crank, which is a real advantage for technical, stop-start climbing as well." See full review in the images above. |

4.5/5 REVIEW"These wheels area a brilliant balance of smooth speed, accuracy and userful toughness, outriding many carbon competitors at a price that's a steal." See full review in the images above. |

"Hit the sweet spot of performance and price"."Hunt Trail Wide is a very good wheelset that is strong, light and durable. They’re ideal for hitting up trail centers every weekend, backcountry adventures into the unknown, or a week of pure descending in the mountains or bike park" |
|
Is The Hunt Trail Wide The Best Wheelset You Can Buy Under £400?"With the Trail Wide being upgraded to a tougher alloy, and with only a slight increase in weight I believe that they are going to prove to be one of the best sub £400 wheelsets on the market for some time to come. They look classy, the quality is spot on and they keep rolling even when they’ve been battered." |
|
First Look"Hunt's new mountain bike wheelsets look like a bit of a bargain." |
|
First Look"A family of three new premium alloy off-road wheels – the EnduroWide, TrailWide & XCWide – ready to hit every kind of trail that awaits…" |
|
First Look"Hunt is well established when it comes to producing high quality, high value road and gravel wheelsets, but before now hasn't produced a wheelset for mountain biking." |
