Reserve 25|GR Wheelset

The 650b diameter allows for higher-volume tires compared to standard 700c wheels. This extra air volume provides significant vibration damping and improved traction on loose or technical terrain, making your ride feel smoother and more controlled.

Yes, the Reserve 25|GR is designed for tubeless clincher compatibility. While they are optimized for a tubeless setup to reduce flats and allow for lower tire pressures, you can still run them with standard clincher tires and tubes if you prefer.

The '25' in the name refers to the internal rim width, which is specifically tuned to support wider gravel tires. This width provides a stable base for the tire, preventing the sidewall from folding over during hard cornering and allowing you to run lower pressures safely.

Absolutely. The construction is engineered for durability, making it a reliable choice for the extra weight and varied terrain encountered during bikepacking. Its robust build ensures it can handle the demands of long-distance exploration without sacrificing ride quality.

Reserve wheels are generally designed to be user-friendly, but you should always use high-quality tubeless rim tape and valves compatible with the rim's internal profile. Ensure your tape width matches the internal rim width for an airtight seal.
