Reynolds Blacklabel ATR 700 Tubeless Disc Wheelset

The Reynolds Blacklabel ATR 700 Tubeless Disc Wheelset is Reynolds' dedicated gravel and all-road wheel, built around the premise that a carbon wheel capable of genuine aerodynamic performance on pavement doesn't have to become a liability when the road ends. ATR stands for All Terrain Road, and the design brief was specific: deliver road-racing wheel performance metrics while withstanding the mechanical demands of mixed-surface riding. The 40mm rim depth generates measurable aerodynamic benefit on pavement and road sectors while remaining manageable in crosswinds and light enough to accelerate on varied terrain.

The rim profile is Reynolds' DET2 design — a wider, snub-nosed aero shape developed specifically around the tire sizes used in gravel and mixed-terrain riding. Aerodynamic profiles optimized for narrow road tires perform differently, and often worse, when paired with the 35-45mm tires common on gravel courses. Reynolds' approach was to develop the DET2 profile around that tire range specifically, validated through their RAV (Reynolds Aero Versatility) testing framework, which evaluates performance across a realistic spectrum of wind angles rather than optimizing solely for straight-on airflow. The result is a rim shape that delivers real gains on road segments without becoming difficult to manage when the wind shifts. Carbon construction uses Reynolds' CR6 layup process — a lightweight and durable build that the brand backs with a lifetime guarantee on the structural integrity of the rim.

The rim is hooked and tubeless-ready, with a 23mm internal channel (32mm external width) that accommodates tires from 28mm to 45mm. This range is practical: wide enough to run a 40mm gravel tire for off-road stages, and compatible with 28-32mm road tires for faster mixed-surface courses. The hooked bead design supports a broader tire pressure range than hookless alternatives — Reynolds recommends a 90psi maximum — making this wheelset genuinely usable across the different pressures and tire profiles a gravel rider encounters across a season. The 700c diameter works with both road and gravel frames, and the axle standard covers 12x100mm or 15x100mm at the front and 12x142mm at the rear, accommodating the full range of through-axle standards on modern disc-brake frames.

The Reynolds/Industry Nine hub delivers 3-degree engagement via a 6-pawl freehub. At 3 degrees, engagement is significantly more responsive than a typical road hub, and in a gravel context — coming out of corners on loose surfaces, navigating technical sections, or transitioning between gravel and pavement — that responsiveness is a practical advantage rather than a vanity specification. The freehub is available in standard Shimano/SRAM 9-11 speed or SRAM XD-R driver body configurations to match your drivetrain. Spoke count is 20 front and 24 rear, a distribution chosen for a wheel built to cover distance efficiently under varied load rather than pure sprint stiffness.

At 1,526g for the pair, the Blacklabel ATR reflects its carbon construction and component spec — lighter than aluminum gravel wheelsets and competitive for carbon at this price point. At $2,299.99, it represents a serious investment in a dedicated all-road build: a wheelset that performs in road conditions, holds up on technical terrain, and is compatible with the tire sizes and axle standards found on current gravel and all-road bikes. The center-lock disc interface and 12x142mm rear axle are standard for modern disc road and gravel frames. For riders building a setup intended to race on any surface without compromising on either end of the performance spectrum, the ATR is the one-wheelset answer.
