Reserve partners with Tune for its lightest wheelsets yet
Reserves top-of-the-range road wheels range, the Turbulent Aero, is already a light wheelset thats proven at WorldTour level. Now, Reserve has partnered with German lightweight specialist Tune on the 34/37, 42/49 and 57/64 rim-depth wheelsets. In this limited run, Reserves Turbulent rims have been optimised to reduce weight by 30g per rim. These are then paired with Tunes Pico hubs, laced to the rims using straight-pull bladed carbon spokes. Tune's new Pico hubset is optimised for the Reserve SL rim. Reserve We spotted early versions of these production wheels on the Cervelo S5s ridden by Team Visma-Lease a Bike in last year's Tour. The Pico hubs arent part of Tunes current line-up. They're hard anodised and the freehub body can be upgraded from 69 to 138 points of engagement (5.2 and 2.6 degrees of engagement, respectively). They are machined from 7075-T6 alloy and weigh 275g per set, including the driver body and rotor lockrings. The Pico hubs share several small parts with Tune's Micro and Nano hubs. The carbon spokes are bladed. Reserve The Pico hubs have been designed specifically to work with the ERD and spoke hole offset of Reserves rims. Reserve claims this means the carbon spokes dont have any bends or twists between hub and rim. This creates a stiffer, stronger wheel, according to Reserve. They're said to be better for sprints and, with reduced stress at the spoke nipple and optimised load distribution, more durable. Reserve The wheels weigh in at 1,140g a pair for the 34/37 option. They come with a lifetime warranty and no rider weight limit.
