Reserve 52|63 Turbulent Aero
Winner of the prestigious 2023 Design and Innovation Award, the Reserve 52|63 carbon road wheelset is the ultimate aerodynamic weapon for sprint stages, high-speed criteriums, and triathlons. Designed specifically for riders looking to make a break for it, this wheelset utilizes Reserve's groundbreaking Turbulent Aero technology to cheat the wind in real-world conditions.
By employing a mixed-depth profile, the 52|63 gives you the best of both worlds. The slightly shallower, 52mm front rim slices through the air while guaranteeing predictable, confident handling in gusty crosswinds. Meanwhile, the massive 63mm rear rim acts as a sail, helping you bank crucial watts for the final kilometers of your race.
Optimized for modern 28c to 35c road tires, the wide stance of the 52|63 ensures incredibly low rolling resistance and a seamless aerodynamic transition from the tire sidewall to the rim. Built with highly serviceable standard J-bend spokes, external nipples, and backed by Reserve's lifetime warranty, this is the definitive go-fast wheelset for uncompromising speed.
