Product Description
The combination of two flagship HUNT technologies, resulting in the ultimate riding experience.
48 DEEP | 35 WIDE EXT | 22.5 WIDE INT | 1511G | CeramicSpeed
The Purpose
The fastest sub-50mm rims in the world, paired with our UD Carbon Spoke technology. The result is a wheelset offering complete, all-round performance across the board. Superior aerodynamic efficiency and crosswind stability, with added responsiveness and lower system weight.
The ultimate in aerodynamics. Designed specifically to meet the needs of the modern rider, at the speeds they ride at. We ride at a range of wind yaw angles far greater than previously considered, and so HUNT Limitless is able to deliver aerodynamic supremacy across a wide range of riding and at real-world speeds.
6% more laterally responsive than identical steel spoked wheels, with significantly less weight. Further benefiting from the high-frequency vibration absorption capabilities of carbon fibre in the UD spokes, as well as the rim. Please see the graph in the image gallery below.
Includes FREE H_Care lifetime crash replacement for the first owners of these wheels. Read all about it .
Aerodynamics: Steel vs. UD Carbon Spokes
We've wind tunnel tested our new 48 and 60 Limitless UD Carbon Spoke Disc wheelsets against our original steel spoke version, as well as their relevant competitive set. Compared to their steel spoke counterparts, both the 48 and 60 Limitless UD Carbon Spoke Disc wheelsets perform very similarly (within the margin of error for standardized wind tunnel testing), suggesting there is no material aerodynamic penalty associated with the bladed UD Carbon Spokes. To review all the wind tunnel data, we welcome riders to review the provided graphs below.

Key Features
Patented HUNT Limitless technology combined with Taperlock UD Carbon Spokes to create the ultimate all-around performance wheelset.
- LIMITLESS Rims | 700c Wind tunnel developed, unidirectional T24/30 rims, offering 22.5mm internal and 35mm external widths, and a 48mm u-shape aero profile. Designed in-house by the HUNT engineering team. Exclusive, patented technology.
- Tires | Aerodynamically optimised for 25-28c tires. Tubeless-ready for lower weight and rolling resistance, featuring H_Lock technology for easy and secure tubeless.
- Hubs | HUNT Sprint SLC hubs add strength and enhance power transfer, meaning more of your power pushing you forwards. The hub shell is a cold-forged 7000 series alloy, offering a greater strength-to-weight ratio than extruded 6000 series alloys. Large 15mm diameter hub axles for sprinting and climbing responsiveness. Circular dropout interface steps ensure a secure fitment. Center-Lock brake mount. Please note: If you require a 6 bolt adaptor you can purchase separately
- CeramicSpeed Bearings | CeramicSpeed bearings are renowned for their low rolling resistance and unmatched durability, and are chosen by the top international athletes and teams around the world. EZO option also available.
- 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.
- Axles | Easily adaptable & we fit them for you. Fit all current axle sizes and are easy to change. .
- Hand-built | All of our wheels are built and finished by hand, inclusive of a full quality control inspection.
- Included | Tubeless tape & valves, axle adapters (please fill in the simple form after checkout to select your required size).
- Weight | 1511g

Warranty, HUNT Rolling Road Tests & Weight Limits
These wheels come with H_CARE (Free Lifetime Crash Replacement) for the first owners. Read all about it here.
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. *Must be registered with CeramicSpeed
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 237lbs (system weight – total weight of fully kitted up rider, bike and luggage). If a rider is over 233lbs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use tyres at max 90psi 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 H_CARE (Free Lifetime Crash Replacement) on these wheels.
