With the British hill climb season just around the corner, it’s a good time for Hunt Bike Wheels to launch its new sub-kilo Hunt Hill Climb SL Disc wheelset. A disc brake version of the original rim brake Hill Climb SL wheelset that Hunt launched back in 2018.

With a sub-kilo claimed weight of just 963 grams for the pair, 426g for the front and 537g rear. The tubular wheelset has a 30mm deep, 26mm wide profile to support tubular tyres from 23mm to 28mm widths. Ideal for making your best lightweight bike a few grams lighter and placing them among the best lightweight wheels, although they will probably be more of a specialist, nice wheelset option.
