Built from the design of the cross country Proven wheelset, the Enduro Proven offering by changing up the carbon layup and spoke gauges for front and rear use. The object was to make a wheel that wasn’t too stiff to take the repeated hits of an EWS weekend.

Sharing the same 23mm depth and 30mm internal rim width of the cross country wheels, the layup is different to give a different amount of feedback at the bars and pedals.

The front rim is aimed at countering fatigue by absorbing shocks and vibrations before they reach the rider. The Race Enduro is designed to offer point and shoot accuracy for last-minute direction changes and line-hugging control. The tougher rear construction adds 61g to the overall rim weight and offers greater strength and boosts high-speed stability.

Strict control of carbon reinforcement maintains a competitive low weight, while use of triple-butted Pillar spokes front and rear further enhances Race Enduro’s ride traits. Pillar triple butted TB2016 spokes upfront work with our tailored construction for compliance, and Pillar TB2018 rear spokes provide the optimal amount of precision thanks to the slightly wider gauge.

Completing this EWS-ready wheel system are durable CNC machined hubs featuring flex-resistant heat-treated axles, dual-sealed, replaceable Revo bearings and your choice of freehub. Race Enduro will be available in Boost and Super Boost hub spacings, and we offer 29in, 27.5in and Mullet options.

Engineered to be comfortable when the trail gets rough, Proven Carbon Race Enduro has been constructed to the same standards of strength and impact resistance as the HUNT All Mountain Carbon H_Impact that came before it. With a wider internal width and tailored front and rear tunes, however, Race Enduro represents the next generation of HUNT carbon products
