Reynolds' MTN 27.5 XC Black Label wheels pair DT’s legendary hubs with a highly refined rim, and the result is lightning fast acceleration and feathery weight. If you’re looking for the ultimate upgrade to your new-school XC race bike, this setup deserves your serious consideration.
At the heart of Reynolds' new Black Label wheel lineup is the high modulus carbon XC rim used in its current MTN collection. At around 380 grams per rim, they'd be highly ineffective as paperweights, but their low weight comes without sacrificing one iota of ride-ability. They're 26mm wide at the outside, and 19mm wide internally, and that generous width maximizes the volume of your tires, which allows for lower pressures while also providing a stable platform for cornering. Tubeless compatibility has been continually refined, with an enhanced bead hook and a deeper middle section that makes tire swaps a bit easier. Naturally, they provide the characteristically damp ride that you'd expect from a durable set of carbon rims, meaning that the benefits extend beyond mere weight and stiffness. The extensive aerodynamic expertise of the team at Reynolds is also on full display, meaning that these carbon hoops cut through the air with a bare minimum of drag.
The Black Label name is derived from Reynolds' new graphics technology, which relies on heat sublimation. This extensive process results in the clean and durable, blacked-out appearance on the rims that, in addition to giving off a stealthy look, shaves roughly 10-15 grams per wheel compared to standard decal application.
The rims are laced to DT Swiss 240 Centerlock hubs that utilize replaceable end caps, which make them compatible with most modern axle standards. The hubs have also been given a custom Black Label graphic treatment to match the rims, completing the all-black aesthetic. The rear hub employs DT's proven alloy freehub, ensuring durability and serviceability. The straight-pull hub shell improves stiffness and makes replacing broken spokes a snap when the time comes.
A convenient feature of Reynolds' wheels is that they use a durable 28 hole, three-cross lacing pattern with a traditional spoke and nipple design for field service and easy truing and maintenance. The nipples are alloy for reduced rotational weight, and both front and rear spokes are straight-pull DT Swiss Aerolight for high tension and total wheel strength.
The Reynolds MTN 27.5 XC Black Label wheelset include end cap spacers for 12x142mm or 10x135mm rear axles, and 9, 15, or 20mm front axles, as well as a set of tubeless valve stems for tubeless tires. Please note: Reynolds specifically discourages the use of metal tire levers. Only use plastic tire levers with carbon-fiber rims.
