The Reserve 50|65 DT 240 Carbon Wheelset is the thoroughbred of the lineup, designed to deliver maximum aero efficiency without compromising on ride quality or responsiveness. By pairing a 50mm front rim with a deeper 65mm rear, Reserve has created a wheelset that balances confident handling with exceptional aerodynamic gains. The result is a setup that thrives in high-speed road racing, criteriums, and time trial-style efforts, while still maintaining enough versatility for everyday riding when speed is the priority.

The mixed-depth profile isn’t just for show—it’s a deliberate choice to optimize performance. The 50mm front rim provides precise steering and crosswind stability, while the 65mm rear adds deep-dish aero efficiency where it matters most: at the back of the bike, where crosswind sensitivity is less of a concern. Together, they strike a balance that allows riders to attack rolling terrain, breakaway on the flats, and hold speed with less effort.

As with the rest of the Reserve line, the 50|65 rims feature a 21mm internal width, making them ideal for 25–32mm road tires that maximize speed and comfort. Hooked beads support both tubeless and clincher setups, giving riders complete freedom in tire choice. Internally reinforced spoke holes improve strength in the highest-stress zones, and external nipples keep service straightforward—a hallmark of Reserve’s philosophy that fast wheels should still be user-friendly.

The heart of this build is the DT Swiss 240 hubset, a premium upgrade that sets the 50|65 apart. The 240s feature the refined Ratchet EXP freehub system, delivering near-instant engagement, reduced drag, and exceptional durability. Lighter than the 350 and more efficient than the 370, the 240 offers a true performance edge with a reputation for reliability under WorldTour-level demands. Service is simple, tool-free, and the system is built for thousands of miles of fast, trouble-free riding. Combined with straight pull spokes and a 2x lacing pattern, the result is a wheelset that delivers outstanding power transfer and stiffness, ready for aggressive accelerations and sustained speed.

The Reserve 50|65 DT 240 Carbon Wheelset is purpose-built for riders who demand the most from their equipment. It’s a wheelset that rewards strength, speed, and commitment, offering a tangible aero advantage and a premium hub system that will stand up to years of racing and hard riding. For those looking to maximize performance without compromise, this is the wheelset of choice.
