New Hunt Sustain wheelsets rethink how to craft modern recycled carbon & alloy wheels with less harmful finishes, while remaining affordable…
A new Hunt Sustain series of wheelsets hopes to lessen the environmental impact of upgrading your bike. Hunt admittedly aren’t going to save the world by slightly tweaking how they build wheels, but they have found a few ways to make 3 of their most popular wheelsets easier on the environment. The result is recycled content in both carbon and aluminum rims made in Europe – the first carbon rims I’ve seen made with recycled carbon fibers.
The Sustain 42 Carbon rim features a blunt aero shape with a 22mm internal hooked tubeless bead, 42mm deep and 29mm wide outside. Hunt describes it as an all-rounder road rim for 25-35mm tires. The most expensive is the Hunt Sustain Phase One 42 Carbon Disc Ti wheelset, selling for $1449 / 1349€. That’s maybe a 40% premium over Hunt’s cheapest carbon wheels, but about the same price as their other mid-tier carbon wheels with aero rims and higher-spec hubs.
Gravel focus riders have patiently waited for the GRX Di2 groupset to be announced. After the successful reception of the GRX 12-speed mechanical group, the new Di2 version had high expectations. We were lucky to have some time to review the GRX Di2 12-Speed group on our home roads and gravel.
