Reserve 77|88 Turbulent Aero
Whether you are looking to crush personal bests on the Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway at Kona or dominate your local time trial series, the Reserve 77|88 carbon wheelset delivers uncompromising, straight-line speed. Built as a dedicated weapon against the clock, this ultra-deep wheelset leverages Reserve's groundbreaking Turbulent Aero technology to ensure your wattage translates directly into maximum forward momentum.
The mixed-depth profile features a 77mm front rim to reduce steering torque and maintain predictable handling in gusty crosswinds, paired with a massive 88mm asymmetrical rear rim for ultimate aerodynamic propulsion and lateral stiffness. Optimized for modern 25c to 30c road tires, the 77|88 smoothly guides airflow from the tire sidewall across the entire rim surface, minimizing drag at every yaw angle.
Say goodbye to race-day handling anxiety and hello to pure, unadulterated speed—all backed by Reserve's industry-leading lifetime warranty and no-fault crash replacement.

Key Features
Turbulent Aero Technology: For two years, Reserve traveled across the US mapping highly variable wind conditions, using the data to replicate real-world scenarios in the wind tunnel. This culminated in the creation of a wheelset designed specifically with Turbulent Aero technology—building the fastest, most stable wheelset for real riders in real-world, unpredictable conditions.
Mixed Profiles & Offset Rear: The tactical mixed-depth setup provides the ultimate balance between steering stability, overall weight, and optimized aerodynamics. Furthermore, the massive 88mm rear wheel features an asymmetrical profile, equalizing spoke tension to create a much stronger, stiffer, and more durable wheel capable of handling high-wattage TT efforts.
