Unprecedented attention to specification for ferociously fast performance. A potent carbon XC wheel system, tuned for low-weight and high strength.
\n29\" | 30 Wide Int | 1469g
\nThe Purpose
\nPresenting the Proven Carbon Race XC wheel system. Built for riders who appreciate lightning-fast acceleration and low weight without sacrificing strength and durability. Engineered around modern tyre standards for enhanced control and grip, with our legendary reliable dual-sealed CNC hubs for peace of mind.
\nProven Carbon Race XC Competitor Impact Testing
\nIn-house testing is something we take very seriously here at HUNT and having 24/7 access to our new engineering facility and custom impact test rig ensures we are 100% confident that each new HUNT wheelset meets our high standards. The graph below shows the impact test results of Proven Carbon Race XC and leading competitors. The graph below shows the impact energy (J) recorded at the first sign of failure.

Warranty, Support and Weight Limits
\nAll 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 tyres at max 40psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset.
\nWe 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.
\n60 Day Ride & Return Period. We are certain you'll be impressed by the acceleration, low-weight, speed and durability of our wheels.
