What makes Reserve carbon wheels so special?
Reserve rims are lightweight, high-performance, and robust carbon wheels without compromise. Founded in 2014 by a group of passionate engineers, they quickly surpassed other brands' carbon wheels. Reserve focuses on the following key areas.
- Robust construction
Lightweight alone is no longer enough. Santa Cruz pursued completely new approaches in the development of the Reserve wheels. For example, the brand was the first manufacturer to apply carbon reinforcements to the outside of the spoke holes, thereby providing significantly more stability.
Furthermore, carbon wheels are known for being exceptionally robust and durable in real-world use (outside the test lab). They were developed for the most demanding descents in enduro and downhill riding and generally function perfectly even after many years. - Lifetime warranty
Yes, you read that right. Santa Cruz also offers a lifetime warranty on the Reserve wheels for the original purchaser. This demonstrates their confidence in their own quality – and lets you sleep more soundly even if you mess up a landing. - Driving behavior
The carbon wheels offer a wonderfully precise ride. Bearings, hubs, and rims are perfectly matched. The riding experience feels seamless and cohesive. - performance
These wheels are not only strong, but also incredibly efficient. Acceleration, agility, and responsiveness seem almost perfect. The Reserve carbon wheels offer just the right mix of stiffness and flexibility, making them beautifully intuitive to ride. - design
Black, elegant, and sexy. With their clean, minimalist look, they're a real eye-catcher on the trails. The best part: The Santa Cruz Reserve Carbon wheels forgo exaggerated colors or garish patterns. We think that's fantastic. Stylish and functional – what more could you want?
How and when were they developed?
Santa Cruz launched the Reserve wheelset at the end of 2017 – after intensive research and development. The idea behind it: to avoid all the mistakes of the competition from the outset. This means: robust wheels that still allow for a certain, intentional flex. And that really last a long time.
- The best of both worlds (lightweight & stable)
The Californians poured all their experience in carbon frame construction into this project. From the outset, they wanted to create a product that could withstand the toughest conditions. Their goal was, and still is, to ensure you don't have to worry about stability and can ride better and faster. - Fun Fact
With the Reserve 30|SL Carbon, Santa Cruz launched one of the world's lightest carbon wheelsets without any rider weight restrictions. - New approaches make them so good
Smart ideas, such as the asymmetrically designed rim with its wider rim flanges, ensured significantly greater stability right from the start. At the same time, this reduced potential tire defects to a minimum.
In addition, the brand relies on high-quality DT Swiss hubs (DT 350) and I9 (Hydra and 1|1) hubs. - First choice for pro mountain bikers worldwide
It works! No wonder these wheels enjoy the trust of professional riders worldwide. Whether XC, enduro, or downhill races: Reserve carbon rims have firmly secured their place on international podiums.

Whether you're shredding rocky trails or hitting the toughest lines in the bike park, Reserve wheels remain steadfast. They are designed to withstand even extreme stresses without negatively impacting the ride feel. - Weight advantage
