Are Carbon MTB Wheels Worth It? Hunt Proven H_Core Ride & Review

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. 🎥 Don’t forget to subscribe for more mountain bike reviews, upgrades, and trail tests! #MTB #HuntWheels #TrailTest Links & Discount Codes: Hunt Proven Carbon H_Core Wheels https://alnk.to/58rz7eK My Enduro Bike (Polygon N9) https://bikesonline-usa.sjv.io/4PAXk1 Trail One Components (Must Have Upgrades) https://trailone.bike/?ref=yHQiW-iMc3Gyfr 15% Discount Code - HoffSupportsTheTrails Ninja MTB my fave Knee Pads, Ramps, and Clinics https://alnk.to/3nhZj8Y KETL Mountain Bike Clothing (Everyday Clothing, No Giant Fox Logo) https://ketlmtn.com/?ref=um6fa30n Worldwide Cyclery (Love These Guys, Support Them!) https://www.worldwidecyclery.com/pages/browse-shop?aff=578 HSU GoPro Accessories (Budget Camera Gear That's Acutally Good) https://hsushop.com/?ref=ppdbrlfaw9 Discount Code - THEHOFF My Outdoor Master Helmet (Budget Friendly, High Quality) Discount Code - JARED10 https://outdoormaster.com/?ref=to6rzt3V-aRNlA&utm_medium=inhouse&utm_source=affiliate Join this channel to get access to perks https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4xzsy5fZXvtzuCONBNQdJQ/join 00:00 - Intro 00:24 - The Problem 00:43 - The Solution? 00:58 - Today’s Question? 01:11 - Inbox & Install 02:04 - Why Proven Carbon Wheels are Special? 03:04 - What is H_Core? 03:37 - Carbon vs Aluminum Weight Difference? 05:02 - Best Maxxis Tire Combo for Enduro MTB 05:42 - Carbon Wheels Climbing Uphill Performance 07:52 - At the Top!
