Announcing the new HUNT 42 Limitless Gravel Adventure Wheels

Designed specifically for events like Traka, Unbound XL, and the Silk Road Mountain Race, the new HUNT 42 Limitless Gravel Adventure Wheels are said to offer class-leading aerodynamic performance without sacrificing the durability required for fast, loaded rides.

Hunt used the same profile from their 42 Limitless Gravel wheels but with a new H_Ratchet system that’s double-sided with two floating ratchet rings, featuring 40 teeth and fast nine-degree engagement. The spoke count has risen to 24/28 (from 20/24) to ensure dependability when riding loaded bikepacking rigs. The spoke nipples are now made from brass for durability in all weather conditions. And the 36mm wide rim profile was optimized by the Hunt engineering team to be highly efficient with wider 38-42mm tires.

Here are the complete specs on the new wheels straight from Hunt:
