Are carbon mountain bike wheels really worth the price? In this video, I unbox the Hunt Proven Enduro H_Core wheels and pair them with Pirelli Scorpion tires to see if these upgrades live up to the hype. Starting in my garage, I’ll weigh the Hunt wheels against my stock Entity wheels to highlight the difference in unsprung weight and rolling efficiency. Then, I’ll hit the trails to test their performance on climbs, descents, jumps, technical rock gardens, and cornering.
Are these $1,500 wheels (plus nearly $200 for tires) a game-changer, or is the cost hard to justify? I’ll share my honest opinion on whether these upgrades improve ride quality, durability, and overall trail happiness. Stick around until the end to hear my verdict and decide if these wheels are worth it for your bike.
