- Hunt is launching three new Limitless Aero wheelsets (4AM Ti_UD, 4AM Steel, 5AM Steel) for mountain, flat and undulating routes.  
- Limitless design: wider, deeper front rim, flatter rear wheel; polymer core in the rim optimises aerodynamics, handling and weight.  
- Wind tunnel and outdoor tests show some wattage advantages and lower weight compared to ENVE, Zipp, DT Swiss, Roval and Scope; delivery from May/June 2026.

- Mavic Comete 50: 50 mm all-round race wheel, 23 mm inside, 1315 g/pair, carbon spokes, ceramic bearings, price 2499 euros.
- Aero optimisation thanks to special rim shape and flat Vonoa carbon spokes; in the wind tunnel, a 5-10 watt advantage was measured in crosswinds.
- New hubs with toothed disc freewheel and ceramic bearings, extensive durability tests; used by professionals such as Thomas De Gendt and Team St Michel.

VISION SC 48 i25: The versatile solution for all-rounders

- Expensive gadgets such as power meters, third wheelsets or aero parts are only worthwhile for structured training or real racing.  
- Cycling shorts between 100-200 euros with good seat padding offer a sensible price-performance ratio, luxury models hardly bring any added value.  
- A solid road bike plus basic equipment is enough for years of riding fun; additional purchases should be based on a clear, individual need.

- 32" wheels are around 31 % softer than 29" wheels with identical construction and require adapted designs for sufficient stiffness.  
- Higher hub width (Boost/Superboost), more or heavier spokes significantly increase lateral stiffness with comparatively low additional weight.  
- Larger wheels affect brakes, frame, fork and stem; larger discs and wider hub standards, especially Superboost, are recommended.

- Before the start of the season, check tyres for grit and check tubes and valves for cracks, fit and mobility.  
- For tubeless tyres, completely remove old, thickened sealant and valve residue; do not mix fresh sealant with other brands.  
- Check wheels for bearing play, concentricity and spoke tension; if unsure, leave centring work to a specialist workshop; tubeless offers more performance, tubing more simplicity.

- Development focussed on racing performance, durability and safety; tested at various gravel races and in the Factory XC Team.
