Welcoming wider tires, the Reynolds TR 307S 27. 5in Boost Wheelset hits the ground rolling, ready to tackle the mountain with little fear.

Using CNC machining, they created the Reynolds TR6 hub, cut from aluminum in one piece to ensure strength, and features 72 points of engagement. Six phased pawls propel you forward, with just 5-degrees of engagement, so you're the wheels carry on a responsive and light-on-the-feet feel you want for quick power bursts up punchy climbs, or chomping at the bit right out of the gate on race day. The TR 307S wheels are built with asymmetrical rims that we also saw on the Blacklabel series, which enables a stronger wheel through more even spoke tension. This translates to a ride that powers through the rocks without deflecting when you pick the wrong line and would otherwise get...
