Continued from Above:

“Long-time advocates of tubeless technology for riding on and off-road, HUNT’s development into hookless rims began back in 2016. With the 40 Carbon Gravel Race rim development, we were able to push the boundaries of rim weight-saving further, bringing the final rim weights to a mere 395g. As well as having that performance benefit, due to a simpler manufacturing process, hookless rims can be produced with less waste, resulting in a cost reduction which can be passed on to riders.”
