Hunt Proven Carbon XC UD Carbon Spoke Wheelset Review - Lightweight Punch for Modern Racers
"The Proven Carbon XC UD Carbon Spoke wheelset is Hunt's flagship XC race wheelset. It's lightweight enough to turn heads, and wide enough to be modern. Most importantly, however, it's designed to survive the kind of punishment that all-year-round training and racing dishes out. I've had almost an entire year on the Hunt Proven XC wheels. They served as both a training and racing wheelset in all sorts of conditions."
"At 1,322 grams, the Proven Carbon XC sits in a competitive cross-country territory, but with a surprising dose of durability. It's an all-around wheelset masquerading as a race-day setup - but in a good way. The Proven XC is made for XC racers who need more than just low weight. XC riders now need a light wheelset that can climb (duh), can fit a 2.4″ (or wider) XC tire."
The Proven Carbon XC UD Carbon Spoke wheelset combines low mass and robust construction, weighing 1,322 grams while offering surprising durability for everyday training and racing. The wheelset uses replaceable UD carbon spokes at 2.7 grams each that tension and service like conventional spokes, reducing rotating weight without sacrificing serviceability. The 30mm internal hookless rim profile is optimized for 2.2–2.6″ tires and features a tuned layup for balanced performance. The wheels accommodate wider XC tires up to 2.4″, climb efficiently, and resist spoke failure in rocky stages. Real-world season-long and harsh-race use produced no spoke or wheel issues.
