Reserve Wheels release new XC race wheels with carbon spokes
News just in is Reserve Wheels have released two XC wheelsets that are wider and lighter to meet the demands of modern XC riders. Check out the full details in the below presser.
Reserve Wheels Announces New 30|XC
We took everything we learned from our World Cup Winning 28|XC platform to develop the best riding, strongest XC wheelset on the market. 30|XC Wheels deliver climbing efficiency and descending performance for the needs of today’s World Cup XC racing and modern XC bikes. With steeper and more technical courses, the world’s best riders need more control and strength, without compromising on weight. 30|XC delivers on both.
New Features
30mm Internal Rim Width | Modern XC race bikes have wider tires, more travel and geometry that allows riders to push harder than ever before. The 30mm internal width accommodates wider tires (2.35-2.5), for better support in corners and more traction in technical sections.
28 Spokes | We increased the spoke count from 24 to 28. The new rim gives you improved strength and durability at a lower weight.
Degree of Freedom Equipped DT 350 | The DT Swiss Degree of Freedom system offers a tangible increase in performance, with no weight penalty, by reducing pedal kickback and improving suspension performance. 30|XC Wheels all include DT Swiss Deg 90 Hubs with Degree of Freedom ratchets installed in the 0° position for high engagement and quick acceleration.
30|XC SL
Our stiffest, lightest mountain wheels. The SL version of 30|XC features carbon spokes and 30g of weight savings per rim. This is the race setup ridden by Cannondale Factory Racing. A special carbon layup and greater use of high modulus fiber make our SL rims lighter and with identical strength characteristics and ride quality compared to 28|XC.
Vonoa carbon spokes are 30% lighter than traditional steel spokes and deliver a stiff, responsive ride. Team riders say the carbon spokes feel very planted, and the stiffer spokes reduce spoke wind up, which makes it feel like they can accelerate faster. Our lightest rims are exclusively paired with the lightest hubs. DT Swiss 180s are the benchmark for lightweight, high-performance hubs, with worldwide support for driver bodies and small parts.
