"The Reserve 48 GR front rim keeps its profile shallow at 48mm so crosswinds on exposed gravel roads don't throw the front end off line. A 30mm internal width and 44mm external shape let modern gravel tires sit wide and round, spreading the contact patch without tipping into an aero penalty. Hollow Hook construction pulls weight from the rim's outer edge, keeping the wheel light while holding up to pinch-flat impacts on rough terrain. What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I've run the 48 GR on wide-open ridgelines where gusts catch a wheel sideways, and the shallow front profile tracks true even when the wind picks up mid-descent. A deeper rim in that spot would be fighting me for the line, this one just holds it."""

"The Reserve 30|XC rim widens to 30mm inside and 37mm outside, so tire sidewalls line up straight from the bead instead of ballooning past it, adding support and grip through rocky, technical sections. Squared-off reinforcement surrounds each spoke hole,...
