Reserve Launches New 30|SL Wheelset

Designed for trail riding, the Reserve 30|SL weigh in at 1750 grams (with Industry Nine Hydra hubs w/ valves and tape) and have an internal width of 30mm.

Reserve say the lower and wider rim profile creates a stronger, more rigid rim that gives improved traction and easier tubeless installation. With a lifetime guarantee, Reserve have called it one of the lightest trail-ready wheelsets on the market.

Launched in 2014 as part of the Santa Cruz brand, Reserve recently became a standalone company, and has plenty more in the pipeline when it comes to product releases.

Not too good about writing about myself, but not so bad at writing about other things. There was a time that I hated bikes, but then they became my life. Wouldn't be the person I am if I hadn't been on this journey. Here's to bikes, drinking tea and everything that comes with life on two wheels. I'm Lauren, I like bikes and writing about them. Always trying my best and up for adventures.
