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.
