The Reserve 30|DH is built around the demands of downhill racing and repeated bike-park runs. Reserve revised the carbon layup for greater impact resistance and refined the rim profile for improved compliance, with development input from the Santa Cruz Syndicate and testing at World Cups and Red Bull Hardline.
Choose a 29-inch pair or MX, with a 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear, and select the listed DT Swiss 350 or 350 DEG DF hub build. The carbon rims use 28 spokes at the front and 32 at the rear.
These are downhill axle configurations: 20 x 110mm at the front and 12 x 157mm at the rear, with an XD cassette driver and 6-bolt rotor fittings. Check those standards alongside wheel size before ordering.

The raised sections around the spoke holes put reinforcement where spoke loads enter the rim. It strengthens this highly stressed area without adding the same extra material around the whole rim.
A better balance between the spokes
The asymmetric spoke bed changes the spoke angles on either side of the wheel, helping the builder achieve more balanced tensions. That supports the strength and reliability of the finished wheel.
