THE PURPOSE
Positioned between two popular Carbon Disc offerings (30 Carbon Disc and 50 Carbon Disc), the 40 Carbon Disc was built for riders looking to upgrade their experience with quicker acceleration and lower rotational weight on climbs and rolling terrain, while still benefitting from the aerodynamic gains offered by a 40mm-deep, U-shaped carbon rim profile. Updated with wider rim dimensions and an all-new ratchet hub system, the 40 Carbon Disc is optimized for 25mm-35mm tyres for fast road riding and racing, increasingly popular all-road terrain, as well as gravel riding (ETRTO compatible with tyres ranging from 25mm-55mm).
The mid-depth, 30mm-wide carbon profile provides stable and predictable handling while reducing drag across multiple wind yaw-angles. The wider 22mm internal rim bed opens out your tyre profile providing exceptional vibration reduction, improved cornering traction and low rolling-resistance, especially when ridden at lower pressures with modern-width tubeless tyres.
The HUNT team have paired the wide hooked rim with new H_Ratchet 36T SGL hubs, offering a rapid 10-degree engagement angle, in a reliable, easy-to-service and long-lasting single-sided ratchet drive system. Increased engagement surface area improves power transfer and longevity of the hubs, while using less material compared to a spring-and-pawl system, resulting in a light but robust hub system designed and tested to cope with the torque demands of road or gravel drivetrains. Hand-built with top-of-the-range, easily serviceable Pillar PSR triple butted J-bend spokes and precision sealed cartridge bearings, this wheelset is ready to speed up your road, CX, or gravel rides.

TIRES INFO
- For the 40 Carbon Disc, HUNT recommends a 25-35mm tire for best performance, tire widths between 25mm and 50mm are also safe to use.
- You must not exceed the maximum tire pressure limits set out in the table below or the maximum limit set by your tire manufacturer if this is lower.
- Best performance is usually gained by using tire pressures lower than the maximum, you can see our blog post here about this.
