Engineered for Performance. Backed for Life.
Reserve Wheels have earned a reputation among elite riders and everyday cyclists alike for their exceptional performance, durability, and innovation. Developed in the heart of California and originally launched under the Santa Cruz Bicycles banner, Reserve set out to redefine what riders could expect from carbon wheelsets. Whether you're charging down rugged trails, pushing limits on the tarmac, or exploring endless gravel roads, Reserve offers a purpose-built wheel for every riding style.
From the very beginning, Reserve's mission has been simple: build the most robust, reliable, and race-ready wheels in the world — with no gimmicks and no compromises. Their lineup spans high-end carbon wheels for mountain biking, road cycling, and gravel riding, all designed to withstand the rigours of real-world riding.
