It was aero, modernly wide (with a 25 mm internal width), and had enough zing to hit the forest singletrack without a back injury. So why change them? Well, they were slightly deep (42mm), but the real push was tire optimization. The 42 Limitless were optimized for tires ranging from 38 to 42 mm, and if you follow the gravel world, the arms race of fitting larger (45-55mm) tires without lightbulbing on the rim is rapidly evolving.

According to Hunt, the new 40 Limitless Gravel Adventure wheels are " purpose-built for ultra-endurance athletes tackling the world's toughest bikepacking races." Designed with input from Hunt's ultra-endurance cyclists, these new wheels have already been tested and proven in various ultra-races. The primary goals were to create lightweight, aerodynamically efficient, and durable wheels to pair with modern gravel tires while going the distance. They are being sold with Hunt hubs, or you can upgrade to SON 28 Dynamo hubs to power your lights so you can crush miles all night long.
