Raced on the XC World Cup circuit and at midweek races the world over, the Reserve 25 was designed for human-powered speed. This is the 650b rim on its own, 28 hole, for a wheel built by your wheelsmith.
One of Reserve's lightest mountain rims at 390g, it builds up to a sub-1,600g wheelset that does not skimp on toughness. There is no rider weight limit, so you can go full gas wherever you ride, and it carries the same lifetime warranty as every Reserve wheel.
Reserve wheels are built on carbon rims that set strength and impact resistance as the first priority, without the harsh, wooden ride that gives some carbon rims a bad name off-road. Thick rim beads shrug off heavy hits, and Santa Cruz only makes off-road bikes, so everything about Reserve comes from knowing what riders need on the trail. Every Reserve wheel and rim is backed by a lifetime warranty, the same as Santa Cruz frames.
Reinforced spoke holes: externally reinforced around the spoke nipple, where the rim sees the most force, for strength without unnecessary weight
For the pinners: sub-1,600g wheelsets with no rider weight limit
Asymmetric offset: asymmetric rims front and rear give better bracing angles and equal spoke tension between drive and non-drive side, for a stiffer, stronger, more reliable wheel
Recommended tyres 1.5" to 2.3"
Maximum tyre pressure 50 psi (3.4 bar), or the tyre's own limit if lower
Not compatible with e-bikes
