Reynolds TR 327 148mm Wheelset

The Reynolds TR 327 148mm Wheelset is a carbon trail wheelset built around a 27.5-inch rim and Boost 148mm rear spacing, positioned as the more accessible entry point into Reynolds' Trail carbon lineup. At $1,449.99, it sits below Reynolds' higher-end trail and enduro wheelsets while still using the same rim geometry and hub platform, making it a way into carbon wheel performance without a flagship price tag. These are tubeless wheels built for riders logging real trail miles, not just weekend fire road cruising.

The rim itself measures 32mm wide and 19mm deep, a low-profile, wide-channel shape intended to widen tire footprint and improve cornering grip and power transfer compared to a narrower rim. Reynolds builds the rim with an asymmetric profile, offsetting the spoke bed to even out spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides, which is meant to add strength without adding weight. The rim is hookless and tubeless-ready, shipping with rim tape pre-installed and valve stems included, so the wheels are ready to mount tubeless tires without needing to buy separate tape or set up hardware. Reynolds builds these wheels using its CR3 TSS carbon layup process at its own facility, and backs the rims with a lifetime warranty to the original owner.

Spokes are Sapim Sprint, laced 28 front and 28 rear in a 3-cross pattern with external brass nipples, a combination chosen for a balance of vertical strength and lateral compliance rather than pure stiffness. That matters on a trail wheel: some flex at the spoke bed helps the wheel track through chatter instead of transmitting every hit straight to the rider. The hub is a Reynolds/Ringle SRX MTN unit with a Centerlock brake interface, 3 pawls, and 12 degrees of engagement — quick enough to matter when you're picking through technical climbs, without needing the near-instant engagement of a premium ratchet hub. Freehub bodies are available for SRAM XD, Shimano Microspline, and Shimano HG, so the wheelset isn't locked to one drivetrain ecosystem.

Complete, the wheelset weighs 1,718 grams, a reasonable number for a 27.5-inch carbon trail wheelset in this price range rather than a claim to being the lightest option available. Combined with the 148mm Boost spacing built for modern trail and enduro frames, this is a wheelset for riders upgrading from a stock alloy wheel who want the stiffness and damping characteristics of carbon on rough, technical terrain, without needing the widest or lightest rim on the market. Reynolds wheels ship sold in pairs, so this listing covers both the front and rear wheel as a matched set.
