Reserve 30|XC Carbon Wheelset
The LoamLabs Expert Take
The Reserve 30|XC is a pure-bred racing machine. Developed specifically for the rigors of World Cup XC racing with Cannondale Factory Racing, these wheels prioritize weight and precision without sacrificing the durability Reserve is known for. The standout feature here is the SL Rim paired with Vonoa Carbon Spokes on the flagship build—dropping the wheelset weight to a staggering 1,304g. By using 28 spokes (compared to the industry-standard 24 for XC), Reserve has created a wheel that is incredibly stiff and tracking-focused, ensuring you hold your line through technical rock gardens at race pace.

The Reserve 30|XC is the new benchmark for modern cross-country performance. Built to meet the demands of the world's fastest racers, the 30|XC features a 30mm internal width optimized for 2.2" to 2.5" tires, providing the sidewall support and traction necessary for increasingly technical XC courses.
While many competitors drop spoke counts to save weight, Reserve utilizes 28 spokes to ensure maximum lateral stiffness and long-term reliability. The flagship SL version pushes the boundaries of technology by utilizing Vonoa Carbon Spokes and the DT Swiss 180 SL hubset, resulting in an ultralight 1,304g package that offers unparalleled power transfer.
For riders seeking a workhorse race build, the DT Swiss 350 version features the new DEG high-engagement hub, providing instant acceleration out of corners. Whether you are hunting a local KOM or a World Cup podium, the Reserve 30|XC delivers the speed, control, and "race-only" precision required to push your limits.
