Cubeca Assos. partners with Hunt Wheels for 2021

Hunt has announced a new partnership with Africa's only WorldTour team; for the 2021 season, Hunt will be the wheel supplier for Team Qhubeka Assos. Formerly known as MTN Qhubeka, Dimension Data, and most recently NTT Pro Cycling, Doug Ryder's Qhubeka philosophy was to use road racing to maximize the potential of the bicycle.

Ollie Gray, Hunt's road product brand manager, recognized that Ryder's vision was a key decision point for the partnership.

"In addition to the program's incredible success in racing over the years, we were drawn to the team's core purpose: to advance the Qhubeka organization's mission of changing people's lives through cycling. It is sobering to have the opportunity to partner with a team that exists to provide tangible positive social impact."

"We are very excited about our partnership with Hunt Wheels, who are entering the world tour of cycling through our team. Their wheels have a great reputation and as a company, we are committed to seeking out the best products to provide us with the best riding experience."
