Description
Reserve 48/53 GR Carbon Gravel Wheelset
The Reserve 48/53 GR is a fast, stable and lightweight carbon wheelset built for gravel racing. Using Turbulent Aero technology and a wide hollow-hook rim, it delivers maximum speed, control and flat protection across demanding courses. The mixed-depth design improves handling in crosswinds while boosting aerodynamic efficiency for all-day racing.
The 30 mm internal width supports modern gravel tyres, creating a wider contact patch for more grip and stability. The 44 mm external width smooths airflow for improved aero performance. The hollow-hook construction keeps weight low while maintaining strength and pinch-flat protection, backed by Reserve’s lifetime warranty.
