Reserve 36|39 Tubular
It is no surprise that Grand Tours are won in the high mountains. That is exactly where the fittest, fastest climbers demand the absolute lightest bike possible to create race-winning time gaps. Weighing in at an incredibly light 1,166 grams, the Reserve 36|39 carbon tubular wheelset was the exact weapon of choice for Jonas Vingegaard during his victorious 2023 Tour de France campaign.
Designed specifically for elite cyclocross (CX) and pure climbing stages, this ultra-lightweight wheelset utilizes a mixed-depth profile (36mm front, 39mm rear) to provide the perfect balance of featherweight acceleration, aerodynamic efficiency, and crosswind stability.
Important Compatibility Note: The Reserve 36|39 is a dedicated Tubular wheelset. This requires tubular-specific tires that are manually glued to the rim bed during the installation process. Standard tubeless (TLR) or tube-style clincher tires are NOT compatible with this wheelset.
