Reserve 30|GR (Aluminum)
Uncompromising Alloy Strength. Lifetime Guaranteed.
The hallmark of the Reserve GR|30 Aluminum Wheelset is its 27mm internal rim width. Designed around high-volume modern gravel rubber (from 40c up to 50c+), this wide profile increases tire air volume, lowers rolling resistance, and allows you to run lower tire pressures for incredible cornering traction on loose gravel. Reinforced with asymmetric rim profiles and offset spoke drilling, the GR|30 balances spoke tension evenly across drive and non-drive sides, creating a stiffer, longer-lasting wheel that stays true over thousands of rowdy miles.
Why the Reserve GR|30 Alloy is a Gravel Benchmark:
-
27mm Internal Rim Width: Optimized for wide gravel tires, preventing tire squirm under hard cornering and allowing low pressures for maximum grip and comfort.
-
Asymmetric Rim Profile: Equalizes spoke tension across drive and non-drive sides for a stronger, more resilient wheel assembly that resists fatigue and radial impacts.
-
Premium DT Swiss Hubs: Laced with ultra-reliable DT Swiss 350 hubs featuring Star Ratchet engagement, providing tool-free maintenance, crisp power engagement, and weather-sealed longevity.
-
Sapim Secure Lock Nipple & J-Bend Spokes: Uses traditional J-bend spokes and reinforced nipples for easy roadside repairs in remote backcountry locations.
-
Pre-Taped Tubeless Ready: Comes completely taped with tubeless valves pre-installed, ensuring a clean, airtight seal straight out of the box.

The Alegro Perspective: Reserve is famous for building carbon wheels that are virtually indestructible, and they brought that exact same bulletproof engineering to this alloy set. A 27mm internal width used to be reserved exclusively for mountain bike wheels, but on a gravel bike, it completely changes the game. Your 45c tires sit with a plump, square profile that eliminates squirm on loose high-speed corners. Plus, having Reserve's lifetime replacement policy on an alloy wheelset makes this one of the safest investments you can make for bikepacking and gravel racing.
