Reserve 48|53 GR Carbon Gravel Wheelset

Meet the fastest off-road wheels Reserve has ever produced. The Reserve 48|53 GR is engineered specifically for gravel racers who refuse to choose between aerodynamic efficiency and rugged durability. Utilizing Reserve’s "Turbulent Aero" technology, this wheelset features a staggered rim profile: a 48mm deep front rim for stable handling in crosswinds and a 53mm deep rear rim to maximize air-flow efficiency. The 48|53 GR breaks the mold with a massive 30mm internal and 44mm external width. This ultra-wide profile is optimized for modern gravel race tires (40mm to 57mm), creating a smooth aerodynamic transition and a wider contact patch for incredible cornering grip. To keep the weight down while increasing strength, Reserve introduced a "Hollow Hook" bead design. This innovative construction removes excess material from inside the rim, delivering the pinch-flat protection of a heavy-duty trail rim at a racing weight (1,433g for the DT 180 build). Whether you're chasing a podium at a flat-out gravel race or seeking more stability on chunky descents, the 48|53 GR delivers predictable handling, world-class speed, and the peace of mind that comes with Reserve’s legendary lifetime warranty.
