Reserve Wheels CARBON 30 29" I9 Wheelset

The Best wheels on the market

Reserve Wheels has a history of proving how strong and durable carbon fiber is. Five years ago, they release a video that definitively debunked every skeptics fear about the long-term durability of carbon fiber frames. When it came time to introduce their new carbon Reserve wheelset, they took the same approach. This is where the legendary Danny MacAskill comes into the picture. Reserve Wheels gave Danny a pair of reserve wheels and told him to destroy them any way he could. After multiple failed attempts to destroy the wheels riding downstairs with zero tire pressure and casing huge caps to 90-degree corners, he finally destroyed the rear rim by riding down over 100 stairs with no tire on the rim whatsoever. This video showed that anything you could possibly experience on the trail would never hurt this wheelset.

To say the least, the Reserve Wheels Carbon wheels are the strongest on the market. Features such as the thickness of the rim bead, asymmetrical spoke profile, and external spoke hole reinforcements make the wheels nearly indestructible. I only say nearly because apparently riding down 100 stairs with no tire can do the trick, but these conditions would never arise while riding a trail for obvious reasons.

The Reserve wheels are built around I9 Hydra hubs. Industry Nine set out to create the most durable high engagement hub system possible. The result was their new Hydra rear hub which boasts an astonishing 690 points on engagement. The hub features 6 pawls that work in 6 phases, this means that all the pawls, and the teeth on them, catch the teeth on the drive ring individually instead of simultaneously. In other words, every time the drive ring moves to the next tooth, you will hear six individual clicks. This new-to-the-industry design limits and minimizes the wear and tear on the system and provides a more consistent ride. The hubs also feature a new stiffer axle system with larger bearings increasing the hubs overall longevity.
