Reserve 30|DH Carbon Wheelset
Built to survive the most punishing tracks on earth, the Reserve 30|DH carbon downhill wheelset is the ultimate upgrade for your DH rig or heavy-duty E-bike. Designed with direct input from the legendary Santa Cruz Syndicate, these wheels have been rigorously proven on the World Cup DH circuit and tested at the mind-bending drops of Red Bull Hardline.
Featuring a completely redesigned carbon layup for massive impact resistance and a refined rim profile for improved compliance, the 30|DH absorbs massive hits without transferring harsh feedback to the rider. Built specifically for downhill frame standards, this wheelset features a 20x110mm Boost front hub and a 12x157mm SuperBoost/DH rear hub.
If you are looking for uncompromising, bombproof durability for relentless bike park laps and race runs without sacrificing rolling speed, the Reserve 30|DH is ready to drop in. Backed by Reserve's legendary lifetime guarantee.

Key Features
Tested and Approved: With over a year of brutal ride and lab testing under the Santa Cruz Syndicate, the 30|DH carbon wheels are designed to withstand any abuse you can throw at them on a downhill track. Like all Reserve wheels, they are supported by a no-fault lifetime guarantee.
Externally Reinforced Spoke Holes: Reserve uses externally reinforced spoke holes to strengthen the area where the rim sees the most intense force (around the spoke nipple). This targeted carbon reinforcement provides massively improved pull-out strength without adding unnecessary rotational weight to the entire rim.
Asymmetrical Design: The asymmetrical rim profile of the 30|DH allows for stiffer, stronger, and more reliable wheel builds. By improving the bracing angles and equalizing the spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides, the wheel can better handle the extreme lateral forces of downhill cornering.
