Reserve 42/49 700c | Zipp HG CL

The Reserve 42/49 Turbulent Aero (TA) 700c wheelset is designed as the ultimate, versatile performance wheelset for the modern road cyclist. Utilizing advanced Turbulent Aero technology, this wheelset is optimized through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel testing. This results in an exceptionally stable and fast wheelset that performs well in diverse conditions, from long training rides to demanding races like Paris-Roubaix. With a differentiated rim profile – 42 mm deep at the front and 49 mm at the rear – an optimal balance is achieved between aerodynamics, crosswind stability, and weight savings, allowing you to slice through the landscape with confidence and efficiency.

The rims are manufactured in Reserve's composite lab in Santa Cruz, California. Through a sophisticated carbon layup and a unique testing protocol that simulates realistic impact loads, the rims are not only light but also incredibly strong. This design with semi-hooked rim beads ensures wide compatibility with both tubeless and clincher tires (recommended from 29 to 40 mm), without the limitation of a rider weight limit. Additionally, the standard spokes and external spoke nipples make maintenance easy, contributing to the 'all-day capability' of this high-performance wheelset.

Reserve is known for their unwavering confidence in their products, which is underscored by a lifetime warranty on the carbon rims and a no-fault crash replacement program. The wheelset is equipped for disc brakes with the reliable Center Lock attachment and a Shimano HG-compatible freehub, ensuring seamless integration with many common drivetrains. The combination of proven aerodynamic performance, robust construction, and unparalleled support makes the Reserve 42/49 TA the ideal upgrade for riders seeking top performance, durability, and peace of mind.
