At Reserve, we’re often asked, “Which wheelset do you ride on your trail bike?” The answer? All of them. But that’s what makes things interesting. With access to every Reserve wheelset, we’re constantly experimenting with different setups to find the perfect balance.
This kid-in-a-candy-store process is exactly how the Reserve Frysauce wheelset was born.
Finding the right wheels is about balance—between efficiency & durability, weight & strength, speed & control. But it’s also about limiting compromise.
You want a setup that delivers lightweight performance on climbs and rock-solid dependability on descents—within these constraints is exactly where the Frysauce wheelset shines.
Why a 30|SL Front?
Your front wheel is crucial to how your bike handles—it affects steering precision, compliance, and weight, all of which influence how your bike reacts to obstacles and rider input.
That’s why we spec the 30|SL up front on the Frysauce wheelset. Its lightweight design and tuned compliance ensure comfort and control over rough terrain.
Back to balance
With the 30|SL up front, you can pick lines with confidence and float over trail chatter without feeling every bump in your hands, and despite being lightweight, the 30|SL is far from fragile.
Like all Reserve wheels, it has been tested on the same brutal Santa Cruz trails as our DH rims. Fully backed by our lifetime warranty it has also passed rigorous impact and fatigue testing in the lab, proving its durability.
At 30mm wide, the 30|SL supports modern trail tires perfectly, ensuring excellent traction and predictable handling. It offers the ideal balance of stiffness and compliance, keeping your front end precise without feeling overly harsh.
Why a 30|HD Rear?
Let’s face it—the rear wheel takes a beating. Every drop, rock strike, and root impact sends forces directly into your rear wheel. That’s why the Frysauce wheelset is built with the 30|HD in the back.
But it’s not just about durability and impact resistance.
Sure, the 30|HD shrugs off big hits, but it also delivers the lateral stiffness needed for railing corners and charging descents.
You want confidence. You want to know that your rear wheel can take whatever the trail throws at it. You want a wheel that tracks consistently without flexing unpredictably when you’re smashing through rock gardens or schralping berms.
That’s exactly what the 30|HD rear wheel delivers.
The Ultimate Trail Setup
At the end of the day, it’s all about finding the perfect balance—combining lightweight efficiency with strength and resilience (sound familiar?).
This mixed wheelset gives you the best of both worlds. You get fast, precise handling up front and a bombproof rear wheel that can take the hits—perfect for aggressive trail riders who refuse to compromise.
So whether you’re cranking up long climbs, blasting through descents, or navigating unpredictable terrain, the Reserve Frysauce wheelset ensures you’re always ready for whatever the trail throws your way.
Why settle for one when you can have the best of both?
