The new Hunt 40 Carbon Gravel Dynamo Wheels can fit up to 2.3″ tires, come equipped with a SON 28 dynamo hub, and use their new H_Cyclo recyclable resin technology. Find all the details here…

H_Cyclo is a new technology being used by Hunt Wheels that allows thermoset carbon fiber materials used in bicycle rims to be recycled. While traditional carbon manufacturing requires layers of carbon fiber pre-preg with epoxy resin in a mold, H_Cyclo uses a recyclable resin, allowing manufacturers to use existing molds and processes. Originally developed for recycling large wind turbines, they use heat and agitation to separate the carbon fiber and resin, allowing both components to be reused.

Hunt is taking on the responsibility of ensuring their H_Cyclo products are recycled at the end of their life by collecting the rims free of charge. This also applies to rims damaged in accidents or crashes. According to Hunt, the H_Cyclo process doesn’t compromise the integrity or strength of their wheels. They are launching the series with two wheelsets, the 40 Carbon Gravel Race Wheels and the 40 Carbon Gravel Dynamo Wheels. Find details on the latter below.
