Proven at the highest level of racing and relevant to all types of riders, the Classified Powershift system has shaken up the cycling industry in a short amount of time by combining the benefits of both 1x and 2x drivetrains through a sleek, wireless system that eliminates the front derailleur. HUNT has been creating purpose-built, wide, tubeless wheels for riders since 2015, and has become known for world-leading aerodynamics, uncompromising specifications and steadfast reliability. The partnership will include the integration of Classified’s proprietary rear hub shell hardware into select wheels from HUNT’s product line, which includes high-performance bicycle wheels for road, mountain, and gravel riding. The goal of the partnership is to create a more streamlined, efficient, and effective cycling experience for riders of all levels.

The collaborative product range will commence with the (Giro stage-winning) 48 Limitless Aero Disc and the featherlight (1270g) 40 Carbon Gravel Disc; two wheels aimed squarely at delivering performance for road and gravel racing. The wheels will be offered ‘Classified-Ready’, meaning the Classified hub shell has been hand-built into the HUNT rear wheel, ready for the installation of the Classified drivetrain system. The wheelsets will retain HUNT’s proven, FEA-developed front hubs.

We are very excited to partner with two companies like HUNT and Mason, who bring a uniquely innovative stance to wheel and frame design. Pushing boundaries is part of Classified’s DNA, so we love to work with partners who also set out to disrupt the status quo Steven Wong, Global OEM Manager, Classified.

We embraced the advantages of 1x gearing early on, and have watched Classified with great interest since they launched. There are many cycling innovations that we are promised will be 'the next big thing', but from the beginning it was clear that Classified had something very different. Dom Mason, Founder, Mason Cycles

At HUNT, we’re always looking for opportunities to improve the riding experience through innovation and technology. We’re very impressed by the benefits offered by the Classified Powershift system, are excited to build those benefits into select, purpose-driven HUNT wheelsets.  Bryson Ross, Marketing Director, HUNT Wheels.

You can find both new offerings from HUNT on the Classified stand at the CyclingWorld Europe show in Dusseldorf on 10-12 March, with the 40 Carbon Gravel Race featuring on MASON’s Exposure bike.

Both wheelsets are available to pre-order now at huntbikewheels.com, and will arrive with riders in June.

PLEASE NOTE: PRODUCT PAGES WILL NOT BE LIVE UNTIL 5PM GMT ON THURSDAY 9TH MARCH

About Twotone Amsterdam

The roots of Twotone go back in 2007, when Twotone’s founder – Jon Woodroof – cofounded a fixed-gear focused bike shop in Atlanta, GA named No Brakes. His clothes nearly always matched his track bike & he earned the nickname Twotone. Jon cut his teeth on promoting his own shop, the brands they sold, and even suppliers, athletes, and other organisations they partnered with all before Instagram!

Those entrepreneurial roots grew into the hold your line, you'll be fine full-send approach to how we run our business today. A 10-year-old nickname became a Dutch BV in 2014 & Twotone has become THE one-stop-shop for cycling-savvy sales, marketing, and PR across Europe in the USA.

Over the course of the past nearly 9 years of helping brands find their way & have their say, we’re grateful for the successes, lessons, and trust! Schedule a meeting to learn more!
