Santa Cruz Reserve Carbon Wheel Upgrade

Season:All Season

Brand:Santa Cruz

Code:SCRWHUPG

A new line of premium carbon mountain bike rims and wheels from Santa Cruz designed to be the strongest, most reliable on the market. Designed, tested and prototyped in Santa Cruz, California using our new our in-house carbon lab and well-established carbon fiber expertise. Made in our exclusive factory. Backed by the best product support program in the industry—the Santa Cruz Lifetime Warranty, just like our frames. Reinforcement bosses at each spoke hole add strength to keep spoke nipples from pulling through. Reserve rim beads are up to 30 percent thicker than the industry average. Putting carbon reinforcements around the spoke holes enabled us to add strength where needed while saving overall weight. Because we put the reinforcements on the outside of the rim, we’re insured of correct, centered drilling which can be an issue on internally reinforced rims. We took that weight savings and reinvested it in the rim bead where rocks strikes are more likely. In the real world, our pro enduro team has a reputation for destruction, so they’ve been testing stealth Reserves since the start of the year. The 50:01 Crew have also put the rims to the test by doing things that probably shouldn’t be done on a bike. We also employed a superhuman to administer extreme impacts to the new product—and you’ve actually already seen footage of that testing! A carbon rim’s profile and the wheel’s build spec determine how the wheels ride. We built Reserve prototypes in dozens of combinations to come up with a configuration that we think strikes the perfect balance of strength an stiffness. Our width-to-height ration of 1.5:1 strikes the optimal balance between ride quality and strength. Rims that are a taller ratio tend to ride harshly and transmit trail shock. Rims that are wide but shallow make for a flexy feel. We also made specific profile and dimensional decisions based on intended use, which we’ll see later. Asymmetrical rims build up into stronger, more reliable wheels by improving the bracing angles and equalizing spoke tension side-to-side. Our carbon layup is optimized to resist torsional forces. All wheels are hand built with 28 spokes, 3-cross for strength and comfort. Rock-solid lifetime warranty—just like on our frames and bearings. 24-hour turnaround. Dedicated wheel service staff
