Hunt introduces recycled carbon fibre to its wheel range
: would you pay just a little more to help the planet?
All three new wheelsets – one with carbon rims, the other two with aluminium rims – use recycled material and uncoated spokes and spoke nipples, and they’re hand-built in Europe. First up, there’s the Sustain Phase One 42 Carbon Disc Ti which is designed to be an all-round, mid-depth road wheel that can tackle all-road, mixed-surface terrain, if that’s your thing. The rim profile is 22mm internally, designed for tyres from 25mm to 35mm.
“The rims are moulded with a wax core mandrel, using a unique resin transfer moulding method rather than traditional resin-infused carbon fibre pre-preg, so the carbon offcuts can be easily recycled and do not require refrigerated storage, further reducing energy use. “Hand-built with a Hunt Europa 4 Season hubset, CNC-machined and assembled in France, and laced with Zero Coat Sapim D-Light double butted spokes, the 4 Season All-Road Disc is built for all weather, year-round performance, whether on the road, gravel, or broken roads in between,” says Hunt.
