Reserve 50|50

While they are optimized for road racing and criteriums, their 21mm internal rim width and ability to accommodate tires up to 35mm make them quite capable on rougher pavement or light gravel. They are versatile enough for fast group rides where road conditions might vary.

The rim profile is specifically engineered to balance aerodynamic speed with crosswind stability. While any deep-section wheel will be affected by gusts, the shape of the 50|50 is designed to minimize the twitchiness often associated with deep rims, keeping the handling predictable.

The rims are designed to work best with tires ranging from 25mm to 35mm. This range allows you to optimize for either pure speed with narrower tires or increased comfort and grip with wider options.

Yes, the Reserve 50|50 uses a Centerlock disc brake interface. This is the industry standard for modern road bikes, ensuring compatibility with most current disc-equipped frames.

The DT 350 hubs are widely regarded as some of the most reliable and easy-to-service hubs on the market. They feature a simple, tool-free design that makes routine maintenance and bearing service straightforward for any home mechanic.

No, these wheels are tubeless-ready, which is the recommended setup for this rim. Running them tubeless allows you to lower your tire pressure for better traction and ride quality while significantly reducing the risk of pinch flats.
