Reserve Cycling is a subsidiary of Santa Cruz Bicycles, bringing the same carbon engineering philosophy that has driven Santa Cruz mountain bikes to the road wheel category. The Turbulent Aero system — Reserve's flagship aerodynamic platform — was the result of a two-year development program that mapped real wind conditions across US riding terrain, then validated the resulting rim profiles in wind tunnel testing. The objective was aerodynamic performance that holds up in variable real-world conditions: headwinds that shift, crosswinds that arrive at unpredictable angles. Reserve backs that engineering confidence with a lifetime warranty — no weight limits, no fine print. Their wheels are raced at the highest level: Team Visma–Lease a Bike, including Jonas Vingegaard, have competed on Reserve carbon. Learn more at Reserve's official website.

The three wheels at RA Cycles span the depth range most road riders consider. The 34|37 DT Swiss 180 is a shallow-profile wheelset for climbing and mixed-terrain riding where rotational weight matters more than aerodynamics. The 52|63 Turbulent Aero DT Swiss 180 is the deep aero option — a depth combination that delivers real speed on flat courses. The 42|49 Turbulent Aero DT 240 Disc Brake sits in the middle: enough depth for meaningful speed gains without the commitment of a full deep-dish setup.
