Lab Developed, Race proven. The Enduro wide is our all-out, hardest-hitting wheel for your Enduro rig.
27.5" | 33F/31R Wide Int.
The Purpose
After almost three years of valiant service on local trails and EWS stages alike, with numerous awards and accolades along the way, the restless design team here at HUNT saw an opportunity to update the Enduro Wide wheel to meet the evolving demands of today’s riders.
Listening to our athletes on the EWS circuit, we developed a testing protocol to ensure the Enduro Wide can take a beating on the most unforgiving trails without flinching. Our engineers built an impact test rig specifically for the task, then using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) they optimised the material distribution ensuring the strongest rim without incurring a weight penalty.
To better suit the differing needs of each wheel, a front (33mm int.) and rear (31mm int.) specific profile is utilised; designed for compliancy and grip up front, while the back is reinforced to handle high impacts. So, whether you're riding tracks with black diamonds marked at the trail head or spend the weekends chasing your next Enduro stage, the EnduroWide has your back

Tyres Info
- HUNT recommends a 2.3"-2.6" tire for best performance, tire widths between 2.3" and 3.3" are also safe to use.
- You must not exceed the maximum tire pressure limits set out in the table below or the maximum limit set by your tire manufacturer if this is lower.
- Note: best performance is usually gained by using tire pressures lower than the maximum, you can see our blog post here about this.
- Tubeless-ready for lower weight and rolling resistance.

Warranty, Support and Weight Limits
A full 3 years from purchase date warranty is offered to the original purchaser only on all Hunt bike wheels against material or workmanship defects, 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. 135kgs 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 120Kgs 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.
Crash replacement 35% off plus All HUNT wheels models have been designed to meet the needs of the type of riding they are intended for. 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.

5 Star Review"At just £399 for the pair, with a ton of options, a fair crash replacement policy and test-leading ride quality, it’s very hard to look past Hunt’s Enduro Wide wheelset." |

MBUK Group Test Winner"Smooth yet accurate, snappy yet forgiving, our testers were consistently impressed by this wheelset." |

"Who needs carbon when the HUNT Enduro Wide is as good as this""I’m looking at treating myself to a new bike later this year, and these Hunt Enduro Wides are at the top of my shopping list for me to spend my own hard earned cash on. Aside from a rogue impact that I’m willing to shoulder all responsibility for, they’ve been bomb proof throughout the last six months, soaking up all the north Lakes can throw at them." |

"Hunt Endurowides are a great option for those looking for a good wheelset on a budget.""Pulling the rear hub apart after five months of abuse without being serviced, the internals were surprisingly clean and still covered in a thin layer of grease, which is great praise for the sealing qualities of the freehub. Clearly, abuse in the sloppy UK winters was considered when Hunt were designing these hubs" |

Enduro Wide 27.5" Review"Hunt bike wheels claim that these are the toughest wheels in their line up, and I really did try to put that statement to the test on the rocks and wood of Whistler. All this science made sure that when I rode Top of the World and pin-balled from large rock to large rock, my wheel stayed perfectly true and there wasn’t a ding in sight." |
