Santa Cruz Reserve DH Wheelset

Five years ago, a little Santa Cruz video on a bike website debunked every skeptic's fear about the long-term durability of carbon fiber bicycle frames.

Now we are doing the same for wheels. Santa Cruz Reserve wheels are built on the highest quality carbon rims on the market. Our confidence in the design and strength of our wheels is backed up by a lifetime warranty, just like our frames.

In an omen of things to come, the Santa Cruz Syndicate took the downhill racing world by storm when they showed up aboard a 29-inch V10 at Ft. William in 2017.

With the new wheel size proving its mettle, we got to work on engineering our own 29-inch DH rim that would stand up to the high standards (and abuse) of Minnaar, Shaw, and Vergier. Fast-forward a year and the result of our efforts sat on stage as “Today’s Fastest” when Loris claimed the top step in Andorra.
