Hunt's new prototype TT wheel is 100mm deep, weighs 750g and helps riders "stay in their aero position" for longer
Hunt has given us a glimpse of a new prototype TT wheel at Eurobike, with the new model borrowing from the brand's Limitless range, sharing the same hub and spoke setup. The prototype is Hunt's first 100mm deep-section wheel and it features a noticeably shiny appearance. Head of engineering and product at The Rider Firm, Rob Fields, says: "While the wheel has been optimised for aerodynamics, we've also looked to create a stable wheel that gives increased confidence to riders, letting them stay in their aero position in situations where they might not have." The wheel has a high-end spec. Nick Clark / Our Media The wheel features a 22mm internal width with hooked rims and reportedly weighs 750g. Hunt has used the hubs and spokes from its recent Limitless wheels. Nick Clark / Our Media Bladed carbon spokes are used, featuring titanium nipples and ends, with the wheel featuring a 5 and 10 pattern. The spokes are labelled. Nick Clark / Our Media Fields says the prototype has already been in testing with pro riders, with Hunt's ambition seemingly to rejoin the pro peloton in the coming years. There's no word from Hunt on pricing, but the new wheel is expected to be available at the end of the year.
