The Reserve 28|XC carbon mountain bike wheelset is the pure, race-ready culmination of years spent competing at the absolute highest levels of World Cup cross-country racing. Weighing in at an incredibly light 1,387 grams (with DT Swiss 180 hubs), this is the ultimate upgrade for competitive XC and marathon racers looking to shave rotational weight without sacrificing durability.

Featuring a completely redesigned rim profile that is both wider and shallower than its predecessors, the 28|XC delivers the perfect blend of lateral rigidity for out-of-the-saddle sprinting and vertical compliance to reduce rider fatigue over technical roots and rocks. The newly shaped rim bed also drastically improves tubeless tire installation and bead retention at the ultra-low pressures demanded by modern XC racers.

Sturdy enough for rowdy, technical backcountry trails yet light enough for the World Cup circuit, the 28|XC features zero rider weight limits and is backed by Reserve's legendary no-fault lifetime warranty. Now available with ultra-lightweight BERD PolyLight spoke upgrades for maximum acceleration off the start line!
