The Reserve 50 Zipp 76/176 Carbon Front Wheel sits squarely in the sweet spot of aerodynamic performance and everyday control. With its 50 mm rim depth and Zipp’s proven 76 hub, it’s a front wheel built to feel fast on open roads yet stable in unpredictable winds. Designed for riders who demand the efficiency of aero design without compromising handling, it delivers smooth steering, sharp response, and the unmistakable composure that defines Reserve’s carbon craftsmanship.

Crafted from Reserve’s proprietary carbon lay-up, the 50 mm rim combines high lateral stiffness with tuned vertical compliance for comfort and control. The aerodynamic profile has been refined for real-world airflow, ensuring predictable handling at varying yaw angles. The rim’s 21 mm internal width pairs ideally with 25–30 mm tires, producing a wide, stable tire shape that enhances traction, lowers rolling resistance, and improves cornering feedback. Tubeless-ready and hookless by design, the rim allows simple setup and lower pressures for greater grip and efficiency over long distances.

At the core, Zipp’s 76 hub brings precision engineering and reliability to every rotation. Lightweight yet robust, it uses fully sealed cartridge bearings that deliver smooth, low-drag rolling across thousands of hard miles. The optimized flange geometry balances spoke angles for predictable steering stiffness and confidence on fast descents or winding roads. The 76 hub embodies simplicity and strength—German-engineered mechanics matched to Reserve’s refined aero carbon structure.

Each wheel is hand-built with Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes for maximum strength and minimal aerodynamic drag. The careful two-cross lacing and Reserve’s tensioning process ensure perfect spoke alignment and durability, keeping the wheel true even under hard braking or sprint loads. The result is a front wheel that’s responsive without harshness, quick to accelerate, and calm in crosswinds. It’s equally at home leading a deep-section rear on race day or standing alone as a premium front upgrade for all-round performance builds.

The Reserve 50 Zipp 76 Front Wheel is more than a balance of numbers—it’s the expression of aerodynamic speed you can actually use. Light enough to climb, fast enough to race, and stable enough for real roads, it gives you the confidence to stay low, stay smooth, and ride faster for longer. Every detail—from the carbon weave to the hub tolerances—exists for one purpose: to deliver that seamless connection between you, your bike, and the road ahead.
