Description
When the route is flat, fast and the wind is anywhere but at your back, the Hunt 8387 Aerodynamicist Carbon Disc wheelset is the kind of kit that turns watts into measurable seconds. Built around a deep, sculpted carbon profile, it is aimed squarely at time triallists, triathletes and aero-minded road racers who want stability when the gusts pick up across exposed sections of a course.
Wheel construction
The 8387 designation refers to the rim depths front and rear: a shallower front paired with a deeper rear, a setup chosen to balance straight-line drag reduction against predictable handling in crosswinds. The carbon layup, hub internals and bladed spokes are tuned to keep the wheelset rigid under hard accelerations while shedding turbulent air cleanly across the rim sidewall and tyre interface. The result is a wheelset that feels planted on long, flat efforts and stays composed when the road points slightly upwards.
Disc-brake compatibility opens the door to consistent stopping in damp conditions and gives modern aero frames the clean lines they were designed around. With wide internal rim profiles, the wheels work well with contemporary tubeless tyres in the 25 to 28mm range, helping you marry low rolling resistance with a smoother feel over patched tarmac. Hunt’s sealed cartridge bearings keep maintenance straightforward, while the bladed spoke pattern shaves off small but cumulative aerodynamic losses across a long course.
