The Trail Wide is your go-to wheel no matter the conditions. Optimised to still take the A-lines on the descents and not hold you back on the climbs.
27.5" | 30mm Wide Int.
The Purpose
After almost three years of unwavering service on the toughest trails, with numerous awards and recognitions along the way, the restless design team at HUNT saw an opportunity to update the Trail Wide wheel to meet the evolving demands of today’s riders.
Starting with what we learnt around profile optimisation from the burlier Enduro Wide V2 project, we set out to improve upon its lighter sibling, not an easy task with an Editor’s Choice-winning wheelset.
Combining the all-new 30mm internal rim profile, with new hubs and spoke configurations, results in a wheel that keeps the outward appearance of it's predecessor yet provide 20% more impact resistance.
Designed as the answer to your trail centre weekends, back country epics or days spent smashing through your local woods - a wheelset that can do it all and leave you with a big grin.

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. 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.
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.

Bike Perfect 4.5/5 Review"Same excellent ride quality, big tire support and an increase in rim toughness make Hunt’s Trail Wide V2 an even better-value wheel proposition" |
 |
4.5/5 Review"The Hunt Trail Wide 29 wheelset is a well-designed, well-made, and well-priced wheelset." |
 |
10/10 REVIEW"Lighter than most of the carbon wheels on test, the Trail Wides feel fast on the trail, and change direction rapidly. They also spin well with smooth, quality bearings and accelerate crisply under power. The rear wheel's super-fast engagement reacts as soon as you turn on the power at the crank, which is a real advantage for technical, stop-start climbing as well."

4.5/5 REVIEW"These wheels area a brilliant balance of smooth speed, accuracy and userful toughness, outriding many carbon competitors at a price that's a steal." See full review in the images above. |

"Hit the sweet spot of performance and price"."Hunt Trail Wide is a very good wheelset that is strong, light and durable. They’re ideal for hitting up trail centers every weekend, backcountry adventures into the unknown, or a week of pure descending in the mountains or bike park" |

Is The Hunt Trail Wide The Best Wheelset You Can Buy Under £400?"With the Trail Wide being upgraded to a tougher alloy, and with only a slight increase in weight I believe that they are going to prove to be one of the best sub £400 wheelsets on the market for some time to come. They look classy, the quality is spot on and they keep rolling even when they’ve been battered." |
