42|49 TA Road Carbon Wheelset

Developed and tested with Turbulent Aero technology, the Reserve 42|49 TA Road Carbon Wheelset is built to excel across every ride — from long training days to the toughest race stages. With a perfect blend of aerodynamic efficiency and all-day comfort, it delivers the versatility modern riders demand.

Proven in competition at legendary events like Paris-Roubaix and the Giro d’Italia, the 42|49 is backed by a lifetime warranty and no-fault crash replacement for total confidence on every ride. Staying true to Reserve’s practical design philosophy, you’ll find external nipples, standard spokes, a semi-hooked rim design compatible with any tire setup, and no rider weight limits — just pure performance, built to last.

Key Features:

• Wind Tunnel Tested
  The life of a wheelset like the new Reserve 42|49 begins with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), with the goal of maximizing aerodynamics while enhancing stability. Reserve’s exclusive wind-tunnel testing then provides data that is focused on simulating real-world air flow, allowing us to confirm performance targets in a sterile and controlled environment. In the end, Reserve has created one of the most stable and aerodynamic wheelsets to date.
• Strong AND Light
  Optimizing the strength and weight of our rims in an exhaustive effort and it all starts at our California composites lab located in Santa Cruz. Not only do we work to develop the carbon fiber layup, but we have developed a proprietary test protocol to mimic real-world impacts and spoke pull outs on wheels. As a result, we are able to define the exact fiber orientation for each rim model to maximize stiffness and strength.
• Lifetime Support
  Reserve uses internally reinforced spoke holes to strengthen the area where the rim sees the most force, around the spoke nipple. This provides for improved strength without adding unnecessary weight.
