2026 - A Year of Reserve Racing in Review

2026 - A Year of Reserve Racing in Review

Racing is a fundamental part of Reserve. After all, we got our start making wheels tough enough for the Santa Cruz Syndicate. 

Since then, we’ve delivered our blend of speed and reliability to elite athletes in road, cyclocross, XC, enduro, trials, and more. 2026 was another banner year for teams and athletes racing Reserve wheels.

  • Jackson Goldstone claimed the rainbow stripes again, cementing his name in the history books as a back-to-back DH World Champion. Keep an eye out for him in 2027 aboard his all-white V10, adorned with the coveted UCI rainbow stripes and 30|DH Wheels.

  • Cannondale Factory Racing's Luca Martin dominated both XCC and XCO, becoming the series overall champion in both categories aboard his 30|XC Wheels. We wish him all the best next year, and look forward to seeing him in the pits and between the tape. 

  • Team Visma-Lease a Bike claimed an incredible 66 wins throughout the season, including Wout van Aert's emotional Paris-Roubaix victory, Matthew Brennan's numerous stage wins, and Jonas Vingegaard's GC wins at the Giro d'Italia, Volta a Catalunya, and Paris-Nice. Team Visma-Lease a Bike race our full suite of wheels, from 34|37 SL  and 42|49 SL all the way to the show-stopping Infinity Disc.

  • Marianne Vos added yet another rainbow jersey to her collection, with her 40|44 GR Wheels helping her win the Gravel World Championship in Australia.

As the clocks change and we enter the offseason, we’re taking a moment to celebrate these victories, as well as the countless hours of training, preparation and hard work it took to achieve them. 

Congratulations to all of our athletes. 
We can’t wait to do it all again next season.
