Hunt Releases New Limitless Gravel Adventure Wheelset

Hunt has released its latest wheelset dubbed the Limitless Gravel Adventure, targeting gravel cyclists and bikepackers alike with a set of new hoops that feature both a wider internal and external rim profile in order to accommodate a wide range of tire options.

Comprising the same fabrication process as Hunt’s road wheels, the Limitless Gravel Adventure also utilizes the British brand’s mix of low-density polymer and carbon fiber to create a 42mm, U-shaped wheelset that tips the scales at a respectable 1,642 grams.

Elsewhere, the Limitless Gravel Adventure features a hooked bead for maximum compatibility with both tubed and tubeless set-ups, as well as an increased spoke count of 24 front and 28 rear with brass nipples for added durability.

Additionally, the wheelset spins on upgraded hubs, which are fitted with a double floating ratchet freehub, resulting in an improved engagement angle of 9 degrees. Moreover, the freehub body is ceramic coated to protect against gauging, while double-sealed Revo steel bearings treated with heat-resistant grease ensure smoothness.  

Slated for August release, the Limitless Gravel Adventure is available for pre-order on Hunt’s site for $1,642.

Key Features:

  • Wind tunnel proven to offer the lowest aerodynamic drag among tested gravel-specific wheelsets under 50mm depth, offering the rider up to .12 Watt savings over renowned competitors and 16.8 Watt savings over non-aero gravel wheels.
  • Rims | 700c Designed by HUNT’s in-house engineering team, HUNT Limitless Technology delivers industry-leading cross-wind stability verified by smooth steering moment data proven in wind tunnel testing. 25mm internal and 36mm external widths, and a 42mm U-shape profile.
  • Bearings | Super-smooth Revo bearings offer fast rolling performance. Dual full-contact seals and long-lasting, heat-resistant grease protect against water ingress for longer service intervals.
  • Tires | Designed around a 25mm internal rim width optimized aerodynamically for 38-42c gravel tires. Feature a hooked tire retention design for safety, fully ETRTO-compliant and tubeless-ready.
  • Hubs | Center-lock New H-Ratchet double-sided system (with two floating ratchet rings). With a 40t ratchet ring resulting in just 9˚ engagement. The freehub benefits from H-Ceramik anti-bite coating to ensure maximum durability.
  • J-Bend Pillar Wing Spokes | J-bend Pillar Wing spokes with aerofoil profile. Tested and proven to provide an aerodynamic advantage over flat or bladed options both from Pillar and other competitors.
  • Hand-built | All wheels are built and finished by hand, including a full quality control inspection.
