HUNT's durable H_CERAMIK coating increases hardness and resists cassette gouging when subjected to hard pedal forces. Laser-etched graphics won’t peel, crack or fade over time.Īt the heart of the XC Wide is the engineered RapidEngage freehub, with a 6-pawl, 3X2 alternating system engaging with a 36-tooth drive ring, providing a quick 5° engagement angle. The new rims feature a work-hardened, shot-peened matte black finish that enhances strength for prolonged life and season-spanning reliability. After an extensive engineering process, the wheelset has been thoroughly tested in the HUNT UK lab to verify class-leading impact resistance among the relevant competitor set. To pack more performance into an already well-regarded HUNT product, the engineering team upgraded the selected alloy material to 6069-T6 alloy, offering a 25% increase in fatigue and impact strength over the 6066-T6 alloy construction of the previous model, and a 69% improvement over 6061-T6 alloys, as used in many other rims on the market. The higher the number the the greater the amount of energy is needed to record damage. The black bar records the energy needed to show the first signs of damage, while the grey graph records the amount of energy required for the rim to fail and no longer be rideable. The above graph records the amount of energy that is required to damage a range of alloy rims.
