| Depth | Width ext | Width int | size | |
A deep section, high-speed criterium and road racing wheel system designed to maximize aero benefit on the fastest courses, but handle like a shallower rim using patented LIMITLESS aero rim shaping technology.
The LIMITLESS rim shape allows you to stay low and in control, regardless of the wind conditions. Aero gains are quickly erased if you have you sit up to counter cross wind forces and regain control of your bike. LIMITLESS tech lets you focus on laying down the power.
Tyre size: Aero optimized for 25 to 28mm tyres. Work well with 25mm up to 45mm.

THE PURPOSE
The 60 Limitless Aero Disc excels at minimizing aerodynamic drag while maintaining a smooth steering moment, allowing riders to carry higher speeds through corners and variable conditions.
Consistent and predictable bike handling during varying side wind conditions empowers the rider to maintain the most aerodynamic position on the bicycle and fully utilize the benefits of aerodynamically optimized wheels. Any aerodynamic advantage is immediately erased if the rider is forced to sit up in the final meters of a chaotic finish in order to maintain control.
The wheelset is ideal for all-out riding and racing at maximum speed on fast courses.
KEY FEATURES
Limitless Rims
The ultimate in aerodynamics, designed specifically to meet the needs of the modern rider, at the speeds they ride at. We ride at a range of wind yaw angles far greater than previously considered, and so HUNT Limitless is able to deliver aerodynamic supremacy across a wide range of riding and at real-world speeds.
Sprint Hubs
Race Season SPRINT straight-pull hubs, boasting an engagement rate of just 7.5 degrees owing to the leaf-sprung, multi-point pawls and 48 ratchets in the hub shell. Center-lock brake mount.
Wind Tunnel Proven
Proven to offer competitive aerodynamic drag among tested wheelsets among similar depth, offering the rider up to .4 Watt savings over renowned competitors.
TECHNOLOGY
The HUNT 60 Limitless Aero Disc wheelset was designed to provide riders maximum aerodynamic benefit in a system that maintains predictable, stable ride characteristics. Patented Limitless width technology, developed by HUNT's in-house engineering team along with Pete Marchment (Co-Founder & Materials Scientist), utilises co-molded low-density polymer (density of 0.7g/cm3 vs. carbon fibre pre-perg of 1.6g/cm3) in the outer rim construction to achieve an extra wide profile optimized for 25-28c tyres, while keeping overall rim?weight low.
The wind tunnel results show that the HUNT 60 Limitless Aero Disc offers comparable performance against a number of leading aerodynamic wheel manufacturers. When paired with the optimal Schwalbe Pro One 28mm tyre the wheels were the 3rd fastest wheelset on the market at the time of testing.

HIGH SPECIFICATION COMPONENTS
PATENTED LIMITLESS TECHNOLOGY
In order to create the most aerodynamic & stable shape for the tyre, a rim bed of 21mm is needed. With the tyre profile this creates, the ideal shape of the rim curves out to an external width of 34mm. To overcome the weight penalty associated with this, we use a (non-structural) low density expanding polymer insert, inside a channel carved out during the production process. This is bonded to the carbon during the curing process, resulting in a uniform and strong bond. The density of carbon is 1.6g per cubic centimetre, whereas the polymer insert weighs just 0.7g per cubic centimetre, resulting in a (rotational) mass loss of just over 50g per rim. This patented technology enables us to consider the limits of material properties, and smash right past them.
