Reserve 30|SL F, 30|HD R Frysauce Carbon Wheelset - The ultimate Trail wheelset
The Reserve Frysauce Carbon Wheelset is the connoisseur's choice for a perfectly balanced trail ride, blending the best attributes of two renowned rims. Like mixing ketchup and mayonnaise to create the perfect French fry accompaniment, this unique wheelset combines the lightweight, compliant 30|SL rim on the front with the stronger, stiffer 30|HD rim on the rear. This mixed-rim philosophy provides the ideal synergy for modern trail, all-mountain, and aggressive Enduro riding.
The lighter 30SL front wheel enhances steering precision and offers tuned compliance, reducing rider fatigue and improving comfort over rough terrain. Meanwhile, the robust 30|HD rear wheel is engineered to handle massive impacts, rock strikes, and high-torque demands, delivering the lateral stiffness required for railing corners and laying down power with confidence.
Both rims feature an advanced Asymmetrical Design with an offset spoke bed to improve bracing angles and equalise spoke tension, resulting in a stronger, more reliable build. The redesigned rim bed also simplifies Tubeless tyre installation, making maintenance easier. Built with high-quality DT Swiss hubs (typically the DT 350 with a 90T engagement upgrade), the Frysauce Wheelset is designed for pure performance. It is backed by Reserve's industry-leading Lifetime Warranty.
Mixed Rim Design (Frysauce Concept): Lightweight, compliant 30|SL front rim for precision steering and comfort, paired with a durable, stiff 30|HD rear rim for superior impact resistance and power transfer.

Boost Spacing: Standard modern mountain bike hub spacing for maximum frame and fork compatibility.
