HUNT All-Mountain Carbon H_Impact Wheelset
27.5/29" | 28 Wide Int. | 1810/1878g
All-MTN Carbon: Front and rear specific wheels optimized for compliancy up front and high impact strength out back.
Responsive, compliant and incredibly strong.
27.5/29" | 28 Wide Int | 1810/1878g
- LIFETIME CRASH REPLACEMENT* -
The Purpose
Designed for everything from big alpine days in the mountains where descents are timed in hours to your local push up trails; The All-Mountain Carbon H_IMPACT combines our 3° RapidEngage hubs and triple butted Pillar PSR spokes, with front/rear optimised rims to build an incredibly strong yet compliant wheelset.
Working with Downhill riders Becci Skelton and Tom Makin, of Steve Peat Syndicate Racing, the H_IMPACTs were well and truly put through the ringer. Although not designed for the demands of Downhill we wanted to ensure they were more than tough enough to handle anything an alpine descent can throw at you.
The V1 rims survived months of North Wales finest rocky tracks, until Tom finally cracked them. Although he’s no lightweight, it highlighted that we needed to try harder. So, Pete and Luisa worked further to test three other ideas in the lay-up schedule and materials choices. The V2 prototypes which resulted were 36% stronger in our laboratory impact tests for the same weight and dimensions whilst also using compliant low-temperature V:Absorbe resin. Tom is still trying unsuccessfully to break them.

Warranty, Support and Weight Limits
*A lifetime crash replacement policy is offered to the original purchaser of the All-Mountain Carbon wheels if using single crown forks. 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. 120kgs 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 110Kgs 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.
We are cyclists ourselves and do of course go above and beyond to offer excellent service if you ever do experience any issues. We carry full spares at very reasonable prices and offer complete support.
60 Day Ride & Return Period. We are certain you'll be impressed by the acceleration, low-weight, speed and durability of our wheels. We are cyclists and as such strive to offer class leading service and support. Buy with confidence, if for any reason you wish to return the wheels for a full refund of your order you can do so up to a full 60 days after you receive them whether they have been ridden or not. Please note we cannot offer refunds on wheels that have suffered from crash damage but do offer a crash replacement discount.

Schwalbe Hans Dampf 2.35" Snake Skin Soft Front / RearThe Hans Dampf is one of the most balanced tires out there. Providing superior control on rough terrain as well as amazing grip in flowy singletrack, the Hans Dampf is the best kind of all-rounder. The high-volume casing offers maximum braking traction and cornering grip for when the trail becomes aggressive. But when gravity stops working its magic, the Hans Dampf will not leave you behind. The continuous tread pattern is closely spaced meaning that this tire tracks well and has a lower rolling resistance over more aggressive options. |

TGR Tested : The Best Carbon MTB wheels of 2019"Hunt's All Mountain carbon wheels have shockingly good performance, given the fact they are half the price of the competition." |

IMB Review"A truly great set of carbon wheels at a ridiculously good price. Hunt has nailed it with these hoops, and the crash replacement policy is the icing on the cake." |
|
10/10 REVIEW - HUNT Trail wide Wheelset"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 - HUNT Trail wide Wheelset"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. |

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." |
