The Reserve development team has decades of experience in engineering, aerodynamics and bicycle design. Together, they decided to set their sights on fabricating a rim that would fulfill the individual needs and withstand the rigors of the road, mountain and gravel disciplines. A rim that would prove its mettle in any situation.
-
Reserve’s engineering team have extensive experience in composites engineering, aerodynamics, and high-performance bicycle design.
They know what strength and impact resistance means for a mountain bike and a mountain bike wheel, and have spent countless hours seeing how CFD and wind tunnel testing translate into real world road riding.
-
The perfect rim design, still only add up to 33% of the solution—a rim isn't much good without a hub or spokes to turn it into a wheel. Reliable hubs from well-respected manufacturers such as DT Swiss, Chris King, and Industry Nine, and spokes from Sapim to make Reserve wheels come to life.
Building the wheel is just as important as manufacturing the rim, and each wheel goes through a thorough human and machine-aided inspection before it gets put in the box. This process and inspection is the first and most important step in offering a lifetime warranty.
-
From the composites engineers, to the team of wheelwrights to rider support reps, Reserve stands behind the wheels. Whether you’re flying down Kaka, railing corners at CAP, or leaving it all out there on the Tour Te Wai Pounamu, if you break a rim, we’ll send you a new wheel. If you back over it with your car, we’ll get you a low-cost crash replacement ASAP.
Mountain
28|XC Carbon
Carbon Cross Country Wheels
The Reserve 28|XC is the race-ready culmination of everything Reserve has learned from years at the highest levels of competition.
At 1387g for a complete DT Swiss 180 hub wheelset with tape and valves (AND no rider weight limit and lifetime warranty), the 28|XC features a wider and lower rim profile than our previous XC race wheels, increasing strength and lateral rigidity while adding vertical compliance.
The new rim shape also eases tubeless tire installation and improves tire bead retention at lower pressure.
The Reserve 28|XC is sturdy and strong enough for a rowdy XC ride, but light and fast enough for a jaunt on the World Cup XC circuit.
Reserve Wheelsets come with Reserve Fillmore Valves.
