Yes, some of the Hunt wheels use Kinlin XR31 rims.
The rims are around 290g. I can give you more info once I've ridden them for a bit - still waiting for my new frame.

Yes, rode them to the office today. Braking is fine, tires sit well, really happy with them.DutchMountains wrote: ↑Fri Dec 21, 2018 10:45 amDigging up an old thread, did you put some miles on those wheels and can you tell us more about them?

That is another lovely Heritic Marin, I really enjoyed that album. Since you also used alloy rims on that bike, how do these carbon rims compare when braking in the rain?
And the most burning question: who makes these rims and where can we buy them?
Thanks!
Braking is fine, as good as the better carbon rims out there, a bit loud. No squealing, just "whooshing". The wheelset is 1050g by the way, and with the 300g tubeless Pari-Motos it's still lighter than many 700c wheels WITH tires.
The rims are made by Heretic of course (like Specialized rims are made by Specialized e.g.) and since I don't sell anything you can't buy them
