A more sustainable future for the bike industry? Hunt introduces recyclable carbon fibre to new gravel wheelsets and plans to implement tech more widely "over time"
Explaining how it's done, Hunt notes that the traditional carbon fibre manufacturing process for rims and components sees pieces of carbon fibre pre-preg injected with an epoxy resin and laid within a thermoset mould, the process generally resulting in a higher strength-to-weight ratio than other carbon production methods such as thermo-plastic resin processes.
It has been upgraded with the Hunt's H_Ratchet 40T DBL hubset and the brand reports the 40 Carbon Gravel Race was ridden by Cecily Decker to victory at The Rift Iceland, Bighorn Gravel, and a third place at SBT Gravel, something Hunt says is proof of the wheels'"performance and durability in the hardest gravel races".
