I’ve got the same DT Swiss All mountain wheels on a 120mm trail bike which I use at trail centres and some down hill bike parks, I’m quite impressed with them for cheap wheels, they feel light enough when riding not to need an upgrade, I’ll get something better when they’re worn out. I’ve also used the bike on an xc route I regularly do on a giant anthem which has some very light wheels and fast tyres, I was shocked that I got a PB on the trail bike with the DT wheels, I think the heavier wheels carry a lot more speed over obstacles and around corners where the giants lighter wheels get slowed down too easily.
They do a great job for the spec level right! I agree about them holding momentum. We did notice that a bit when testing but maybe would notice it more on a flatter trail where maintaining speed is a real challenge. Will try test that in a follow-up soon!
I sold my Nukeproof Horizon wheels with DHR II and bought a set of Hunt Trail Wide v2 and Bontrager XR4 Team Edition tyres. It's been raining a lot recently so I haven't been able to test them out yet but I have lost half a kilo of rotational mass so hopefully I will notice the difference on those technical climbs!
@@BlueSkyBoys Had my first ride on them today and they felt really good - coupled with the lighter casing tyres, they were easier to spin up! Also the hub is significantly quieter than the Nukeproof Horizon v2. I kind of miss that but at the same time I love the quiet but still knowing all the engagement is there. The back wheel wouldn't seal so Hunt paid for a shop to handle that for me which is excellent customer service. Shit happens and they dealt with it quickly and fuss free :)

awesome review as usual how about you do one carbon versus aluminum frames?
Love seeing my local in videos
It was so good to get back to Oropi. We’ve been riding here forever hahah.

Oh nice mate! Keen to hear your thoughts on the Hunt wheels. I've heard good things!
@@BlueSkyBoys I'll let you know as soon as the trails have dried out!

“One missed meal from not waking up in the morning” 😂😂😂
I’m so glad someone finally commented on this joke hahaha
Forgive me if I wasn't paying enough attention, but were you guys making sure the same tires were being used as well?
We run the same tyres but they would have been slightly different in wear. Not super scientific haha
@@BlueSkyBoys Ah okay. 😆🤦🏾
Video says full wheel spec in the description. Are you adding them later?
my bad, added them now. To be honest the video accidentally came out last night so I hadn't finished the description haha
@@BlueSkyBoys Lol
This is my favourit track at CAP
CAP? Oropi couldn't be further from CAP hahah. Wish we were back there!
