| Description | The 4 Season Gravel Disc has been a staple in the HUNT range from very early on. As a more burly version of the 4 Season Disc (owing to higher spoke count and wider rim) it was a great option for those wanting to hit the path less travelled. Fast-forward a couple of years, and the demands of gravel riding have taken on a whole new dimension, with riders seeking trails and routes you'd formerly only consider a mountain bike for. Enter the X-Wide, the wheelset designed to shine where the boundaries are blurred. As you'd come to expect, investment is made in high-specification spokes, rims and hubsets, so you don't pay a massive weight penalty for that extra off-road durability. Long-lasting performance both on and off-road. Don't be restricted - grasp your freedom. The extra-wide rim is ideal for properly wide (35 to 50+) gravel tyres, so you can explore, go bike-packing, rip any trails or CX courses you fancy, and do it all with confidence!

They're solid, dependable and lovely wheels to ride, and with their wide rim bed they work perfectly with wider gravel tyres." Verdict: Perfect rim width to work with gravel tyres, plus they are tough, stiff, great to ride on and a bargain Hunt 4 Season Gravel Disc Wheelset review, Bike Perfect (see here for the full review): "If you're looking for a tougher, fat-tire-friendly wheelset that will upgrade the surefootedness, rough-rolling speed, and overall durability of your 700c gravel bike without adding any weight, then the X-Wides are absolutely awesome for a whole bunch of carefully considered reasons. The fact they come in at an entry-level price puts them firmly into the outstanding category as they match most similar wheels - including many carbon rimmed wheels we've tried - in terms of performance for a fraction of the price." Verdict: A top-performing bargain upgrade for those who want a wider, smoother, tougher gravel wheel set  |
