HUNT 54_58 AERODYNAMICIST CARBON DISC WHEELSET 

F54 / F58 D | F32 / R30 EW | 22 IW I H_RATCHET 40T DBL I Enduro™ ABEC 5 I 1,468G

Developed through advanced CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and engineered aerodynamic shaping methods, the wind tunnel-validated 54_58 Aerodynamicist Carbon Disc utilises optimised front and rear-specific rim profiles to deliver the lowest aero drag in the category, while still weighing in well under 1500 grams. Unmatched aero-to-weight metrics. Every ride just got faster.

THE PURPPOSE

Designed for riders chasing every watt, the CFD-developed, wider front and deeper rear rim designs are engineered and wind tunnel-proven to improve aerodynamics and stability in actual racing conditions, while minimising system weight. Aero wing spokes slice through the wind yet remain tough and simple to service. The precision-engineered H_Ratchet 40T DBL hub delivers crisp 9-degree engagement with less material weight. Enduro™ Bearings ABEC 5 chromium steel bearings keep you rolling faster for longer. Every detail is dialled for uncompromising performance where it matters most.

THE TECHNOLOGY

The HUNT 54_58 Aerodynamicist Carbon Disc wheels beat the competition in wind tunnel tests, cutting air resistance by 0.94 watts compared to the Zipp 404 Firecrest (2mm deeper front wheel) while weighing 91 grams less. Against the Zipp 404 Firecrest (2mm deeper front wheel), our wheels cut air drag by 0.94 watts while weighing 168 grams less – nearly 11% lighter. The redesigned front profile manages airflow better across all angles, with particularly strong performance at high yaw, where it creates sailing effects and prevents turbulence. These wheels don't just cut through air – they handle precisely. Steering moment tests show consistent, linear response at all yaw angles, giving riders predictable control and confidence. The 22mm internal width perfectly shapes 28-30mm tyres for better aerodynamics, comfort and cornering. Despite their depth, the complete wheelset weighs just 1468 grams, thanks to advanced carbon construction.

FEATURES

• No Compromise, Front & Rear Specific Rim Profiles - Taking the learnings from our Limitless Speed Project but utilizing traditional manufacturing methods, the Aerodynamicist rim profiles deliver optimum aerodynamic benefit from wide rim profiles. The wide and far more 'blunted' spoke bed area, allows wind to flow in a more predictable pattern once separating from the rim providing a smooth and aerodynamically efficient package. 
• Reliable, Rapid H_Ratchet Hub System - H_Ratchet 40T DBL, is a dual-sided ratchet system with 40-tooth drive rings offers rapid and reliable 9-degree engagement for quick response to pedal inputs. 6066 aluminium alloy hub shell with extra strong 7075-T6 alloy axle and freehub body for durability. H_Ceramik reinforced coating to protect against gouging.
• Low Friction, High Durability Bearings - High performance chromium steel Enduro™ ABEC 5 Bearings are specifically designed for cycling applications to provide excellent longevity and low rolling resistance, no matter the weather.
• Aerodynamic Wing Spokes - Built for strength and aero efficiency, the Pillar Wing spokes feature an aerofoil profile to reduce drag, with reinforced butting near the spoke head for added durability in high-stress areas. Cold-drawn from premium stainless steel, these spokes offer excellent strength and direct power transfer, while the sleek black stainless finish adds a durable touch.
• Recyclable H_Cyclo Technology - Fully recyclable thermoset epoxy resin technology allows for the separation and re-use of both the carbon fibre material and resin components at end-of-life without creating waste solvents or pollutants. Race-ready rims that will never see the landfill: performance meets purpose. Read more about exclusive H_Cyclo technology
• All-Road Ready Resistance (UCI Approved) - Hunt road wheels all pass UCI impact testing standards. HUNT Wheels' road wheels must also undergo significantly elevated impact testing using a sharpened anvil and higher impact energies to better replicate pothole strikes compared to the flat UCI impact test pad.

SPEC OVERVIEW

• Rims | 54.5mm Deep front profile with a 31.7mm external width provides low aerodynamic drag with wider 28mm tyres. 58mm deep rear profile with a 30mm external width to reduce weight in turbulent air. Lightweight rim layup strategy using T800 unidirectional carbon fibre with 3K weave re-enforced spoke holes for ultimate wheelset performance. Designed by HUNT’s in-house Engineering Team using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and then validated using wind tunnel testing. The broad 22mm internal width provides good tyre support and volume for excellent grip and low rolling resistance. Hooked 22mm internal profile allows a wide range of tyres from 25mm-50mm to be fitted including tubeless or clincher tyres in-line with ETRTO guidelines. H-Lock bead seat up-kick for secure tyre fitment. UD rim finish with matte white decals.
