GRAND TOUR STAGE-WINNING PERFORMANCE, IN AN UPDATED, LIGHTER AND WIDER PACKAGE.
50 Deep | 27 Wide Ext | 21 Wide Int | 1429g
The Purpose
Introducing the 50 Carbon Aero Disc SL. An evolved version of a HUNT best-seller and rider favourite, proven at the highest level of the sport, and now featuring our new Sprint SL hub laced to a lighter and wider rim.
The 50 Carbon Aero Disc SL benefits from a wide 27mm U-shaped rim, providing superior aerodynamic performance across multiple wind yaw-angles. The 21mm internal rim bed opens out your tire profile, increasing grip in the corners and reducing rolling resistance.
Straight pull hubs and bladed spokes reduce weight, add strength, and respond instantly to accelerations. The freehub body on the HUNT Sprint SL hub features 48 teeth on the ratchet ring, and treble-tooth pawls, providing incredible 7.5° engagement.
If you're looking for an aero wheel that can do it all, then you've found it.
