Rating: 5/5  Hunt Race Aero Wide wheelset review, Cycling Weekly magazine (see here): "For less than £400, the Hunt Race Aero Wide wheel offer exceptional performance and value for money. They're light, stiff, well-made, and tubeless ready, and frankly I really can't find fault in them." Cycling Weekly Editor's Choice  Hunt Race Aero Wide wheelset review, Cycling News (see here): "So, is there a catch to Hunt's Aero Race Wide wheelset? Yes, but the only thing we can think of is that they're too popular, and getting hold of a set might prove to be difficult.... But, it's a small price to pay, in more ways than one, because this wheelset is incredible value for money when you consider what you get in the box. At this price point, there doesn't appear to be anything that can match them. They're light, they appear to be faster on the straights for the same effort, and they're also very stiff without being uncomfortable. If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive wheelset that will suit the majority of your types of riding all year round (save for the harshest of winters), and can even be used off-road as well as on it." Verdict: A quality wheelset that ticks all the boxes when it comes to weight, stiffness and speed on the flats, and they're terrific value for money too, so there's no excuse not to give your bike a boost.  Hunt Race Aero Wide wheelset review, RCUK 100 2017 (see here): "Hunt may still be relative newcomers to the wheel market, but they've stuck their flag firmly in ground and continue to impress across the board; not just with these wheels - a point emphasised by the fact demand often outstrips supply. If you want a pair of these, you best be quick." Hunt Race Aero Wide wheelset review, road.cc (see here): "They're well built, they're stiff, and they're light. Carbon wheels look great, and they sound nice, and most people don't need them. Save yourself some cash and get a great alloy wheelset instead." Verdict Excellent alloy wheel upgrade for your rim-brake road bike |
