The goal was to create an all-around road race wheelset with a depth of up to 50mm, allowing both 30mm and 28mm tires. Three years in the making, Hunt wanted to make a faster version of its 48 Limitless wheels, and to reduce the overall weight.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">According to Hunt, The SUB50 Limitless road race wheelset prioritizes aerodynamic performance with a focus on efficiency-to-weight and efficiency-to-depth ratios. In comparative testing against the DT Swiss ARC 1400 DICUT 50 DB, with a weight of 1456g, the SUB50 had aerodynamic efficiency with a 28mm tire. Despite the DT Swiss model being marginally faster (0.6 W in Run A, 0.14 W slower in Run B), this was primarily attributed to its 3mm narrower internal rim width, resulting in a narrower tire profile. Notably, the SUB50 showcased a 1.85 watt advantage over the DT Swiss 50 when equipped with a 30mm tire, offering the added benefits of a wider internal rim, including reduced rolling resistance and increased grip and comfort.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The aerodynamic testing took place at the GST WindKanal, conducted by Ernst Pfeiffer and showed the SUB50 Limitless outperformed the deeper Zipp 454 NSW wheelset (55/58mm depth, 1428g) by 3.07 watts when tested with 30mm tires and by 0.99 watts with 28mm tires. The wind tunnel’s margin of error is specified by Pfeiffer at +/-0.3 watts with a complete bike setup.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The SUB50 Limitless weighs 1380 grams per pair with UD Carbon Spokes and 1428 grams per pair with steel spokes. The wheelset features the HUNT H_Ratchet DBL dual-sided ratchet system with a 40-tooth drive ring, providing 9-degree engagement and weighing 332g per set.</span></p><p style="text-rendering: optimizelegibility; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.34615rem; font-family: &quot;Roboto Slab&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: none; text-wrap: wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Specs</span></p><p style="text-rendering: optimizelegibility; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.15385rem; font-family: &quot;Roboto Slab&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: none; text-wrap: wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Hunt SUB50 Limitless Aero Disc UD carbon spoke, CeramicSpeed bearings</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Weight: 1380g per pair<br/>Internal Rim Width: 23.0mm<br/>External Rim Width: 34.2mm Front | 30mm Rear<br/>Spokes: TaperLock UD Carbon<br/>Spoke Count: 18 Front | 20 Rear<br/>Hubs: HUNT H_Ratchet DBL, 40T, 9-degree engagement</span></p><p style="text-rendering: optimizelegibility; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.15385rem; font-family: &quot;Roboto Slab&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: none; text-wrap: wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Hunt SUB50 Limitless Aero Disc UD carbon spoke, stainless steel bearings</span></p><p style="text-rendering: optimizelegibility; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.15385rem; font-family: &quot;Roboto Slab&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; hyphens: none; text-wrap: wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Weight: 1380g per pair</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Internal Rim Width: 23.0mm<br/>External Rim Width: 34.2mm Front | 30mm Rear<br/>Spokes: TaperLock UD Carbon<br/>Spoke Count: 18 Front | 20 Rear<br/>Hubs: HUNT H_Ratchet DBL, 40T, 9-degree engagement<br/>Bearings: Double-sealed stainless steel cartridge</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Hunt Sub 50 Steel Spoke $2,570</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Hunt Sub 50 UD Steel Bearing, $3,210</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Hunt Sub 50 UD CeramicSpeed $3,975</span></p><p><br/></p>
