The Reserve 32|32 is built to be the dependable all-rounder in your wheel arsenal—the wheelset that can handle the grind of endless training miles, the unpredictability of spring winds, and the precision needed to chase KOMs. With a 32mm rim depth, it strikes a perfect balance between aerodynamic efficiency and stable handling. While deeper rims might eke out marginal aero gains, the 32|32 shines with its predictable steering and control, especially when the weather doesn’t cooperate. Its versatility extends to tire choice, with a 21mm internal width that pairs equally well with fast 25mm road tires, endurance-focused 28–30mm rubber, or wider 35mm cyclocross and offseason training tires. Reserve retains the traditional bead hook design, ensuring riders can set them up tubeless for modern performance or stick with tubes if preferred.

Practicality is a cornerstone of Reserve’s design philosophy, and the 32|32 reflects this with external nipples and standard spokes, making tension adjustments straightforward without removing tires or rim tape. Reinforced spoke holes add strength exactly where rims endure the most stress, bolstering durability without tacking on unnecessary grams. It’s a wheelset engineered for the real-world rider who demands both performance and reliability.

At the heart of the build sits the DT Swiss 350 hubset, a workhorse in its own right. Known for its smooth engagement, easy serviceability, and rock-solid reliability, the 350 provides the perfect complement to the Reserve rims. The rear hub runs DT’s proven 36SL Ratchet freehub system, delivering crisp engagement with minimal maintenance. Straightpull spoke flanges allow for higher spoke tension and excellent lateral stiffness while still offering a touch of compliance. Laced 24 spokes front and rear in a 2x/2x pattern, the wheelset achieves an ideal balance of stiffness, responsiveness, and comfort. With thru-axle standards (12x100mm front, 12x142mm rear) and Center Lock rotor mounts, the 32|32 slots seamlessly into modern road and gravel bikes.

Durability also extends to the hub internals, with DT Swiss steel cartridge bearings and robust seals designed to shrug off rain, grit, and thousands of miles of use. Despite its focus on practicality and longevity, the wheelset still tips the scales at a competitive 1397 grams, offering riders an efficient and responsive ride that won’t weigh them down. At $1800, it sits at a sweet spot: premium materials, top-tier engineering, and lifetime reliability, without crossing into the upper echelon of exotic price tags. It’s the wheelset designed to do it all—reliably, week after week, season after season.
