Bringing cutting edge performance to the diverse needs of drop bar off-roaders, Reserve's new 40|44 GR gravel wheels are tailored for the demands of off-road exploration and gravel riding, but with an aero focus.
Leveraging Turbulent Aero technology, the 40|44 GR features a 40mm front paired with a 44mm rear, establishing it as their fastest and most stable gravel wheelset to date. Wider than previous gravel wheels to allow for tires up to 50c, the 40|44 GR plays nicely with today's slew of big volume gravel tires and a semi-hooked rim makes tubeless set up easier than ever.
Like all Reserve wheels, the 40|44 GR wheels have a lifetime warranty supported by a no-fault crash replacement. And in keeping with Reserve workmanlike ways, you'll find external nipples, standard spokes, no tire limitations, and no rider weight limits.

While not cheap by any means, these wheels offer insane value compared to the competition. Sure the new Enve G series is wider and deeper, but they're nearly TWICE the price! The Zipp XPLR wheels are wider and deeper, but a lot heavier and also more expensive. I paid $1440 for these, and I truely don't think there's another wheelset on the market at a similar price that can match the specs of these wheels AND offer a lifetime warranty and full crash replacement AND come with super reliable, bomb proof hubs. My set weighed slightly less than advertised too at 1440g (w/o valves, but with tape).
Only niggle is that the spokes on my rear wheel made a lot of noise during hard, steep efforts on my first couple rides. I put some lube at each of the spoke junctions and this seemed to solve the problem.
I have about 500 miles on these wheels and they are incredible. They are silky smooth and make a 45mm tire much more supple due to the inner diameter. The DT Swiss hubs are a no brainer, it's nice that the wheels come with such a bullet proof set of hubs. I think for the price these are some of, if not the best, wheels for money.
I did extensive research before getting these Reserve wheels. They are one of the fastest tested gravel wheelsets, they are quite light, very reliable (with bomb-proof DT Swiss hubs), look amazing, and are hooked, which was a big plus for me. I cannot find a single fault with them and they are easily better than the competition from Zipp, Enve, etc. Top shelf gravel set for a very reasonable price!
