Reserve 30|XC Wheelset

The Reserve 30|XC Wheelset represents modern race-ready performance engineered for the demands of today's XC racing. Built for big efforts and the rigors of elite cross-country competition, the 30|XC delivers the speed, stiffness, and reliability that podium-hungry riders need to push themselves to the limit on every lap.

The wider 30mm internal rim profile more closely aligns the tire sidewall with the bead of the rim, providing additional support and increased grip on the trail. This modern rim width geometry delivers a more predictable contact patch and greater confidence through technical sections, where traction and handling precision can make or break a race result. The increased spoke count creates a stiffer, more responsive wheel compared to traditional 24-spoke XC builds, while also delivering predictable and reliable descending performance when the course demands it.

The 30|XC offers ultimate precision and unparalleled power transfer for riders who demand the absolute best from their equipment. The carbon spoke construction keeps weight to a minimum while maintaining the high spoke tensions required for race-level stiffness and responsiveness. Spare spokes are included, ensuring riders are prepared for any eventuality during demanding race schedules.

The 30|XC is proudly raced by Cannondale Factory Racing on their LAB71 Scalpels, battling at the front of the pack at the highest level of XC competition, a real-world validation of the wheelset's race-winning capability.

For riders seeking to unlock even greater performance, the 30|XC is available with DT Swiss Degree of Freedom hubs, an innovative, easily adjustable, low-maintenance system that disengages the drivetrain to allow suspension to move more freely. Adjustable at 0°, 10°, or 20° settings via tool-free notches in the drive ring, Degree of Freedom reduces pedal kickback and improves suspension performance without adding a single gram of weight. At 0° the hub functions as a standard high-engagement hub with 90 teeth and 4° of engagement, while higher settings progressively reduce drivetrain feedback for smoother, more active suspension performance.
