Reserve 40/44 Wheelset

Yes, the 40mm front and 44mm rear rim profile is specifically designed to handle both disciplines. The carbon construction provides the durability needed for gravel, while the aerodynamic profile maintains the efficiency required for road cycling.

This wheelset comes equipped with an XDR freehub body, which is compatible with most modern SRAM 12-speed road and gravel drivetrains. If you are running a different system, you may need to swap the freehub body to match your specific cassette.

These are clincher-compatible rims, meaning they are designed for use with standard clincher tires. Always check your tire manufacturer's recommendations for the specific width range compatible with this rim profile.

Yes, these wheels are built exclusively for disc brakes. They will not work with rim brake systems, so ensure your frame and fork are set up for disc calipers before purchasing.

The wheelset is designed for thru-axle systems, which is the standard for modern disc-brake road and gravel bikes. This setup ensures a stiff, secure connection between the wheels and your frame.

The 40mm front rim is slightly shallower to improve handling and stability in crosswinds, while the 44mm rear rim focuses on aerodynamic efficiency. This combination provides a balanced feel that is predictable in varied wind conditions.
