RESERVE WHEELSET 42|49 TA SL|Tune CS SP XDr HG11 CL

All-Around Speed

Reserve 42|49 SL wheels with Tune Hubs let you lose every possible gram of weight, without losing any of the strength or reliability that Reserve is known for. You get carbon spokes, lifetime warranty, no-fault crash replacement, and no restrictions on rider weight or tire choice. This is your ultimate all-around wheelset.

These wheels are fast enough for Simon Yates to take a stage ten win at the 2025 Tour de France and strong enough to charge the Paris-Roubaix. SL wheels come with carbon spokes and are only available together with the lightest hubsets.

SL Rims deliver the same aero advantage, predictable handling and industry-leading durability as standard Reserve rims. And thanks to advanced manufacturing techniques they are 30g lighter per wheel, shaving 60 grams off your wheelset.

Turbulence Tuned

Reserve have partnered with German hub manufacturer Tune for a limited run of high-performance, high-speed wheelsets. Laced exclusively to SL Turbulent Aero rims, Tune Pico hubs are purpose-built for Reserve rims. The hubs are machined to align perfectly with the ERD and spoke hole offset of Reserve SL rims.

The dedicated hub design and perfect alignment mean that the carbon spokes don't need to bend or twist between the hub and the rim, creating a stiffer, stronger wheel. On the road, this gives you a more planted feel with exceptional energy transfer. Reduced stress at the spoke nipple, and optimized load distribution ensure long-term durability.

Pico freehub bodies are made with 7075-T6 alloy and weigh 275g per set, including the driver body and rotor lockrings. They are machined and assembled at the Tune factory in Buggingen, Germany.

Features:

• The Wheel for Race Day, Everyday - From your lunch ride to Pauline Ferrand Prevot's Tour winning efforts, this wheelset is the silver bullet. 42|49 is light enough to climb and gives you just enough depth to cut through wind without giving up control.
• Lighter & Stronger - Built to be as light as possible without trading away strength, stiffness, or durability. Carbon spokes, purpose-built hubs, and an advanced SL rim layup work together as a system.
• Turbulent Aero - Reserve's aerodynamic protocol uses real-world wind data to develop wheels that are both faster and more stable on the road, not just the wind tunnel.
• Built for a Lifetime - All Reserve wheels are built around a simple principle: "we have your back." That means no rider weight limits, an industry-leading Lifetime Warranty, safe semi-hooked rim designs and comprehensive customer service.
