53 GR 700c Carbon Rim

The Reserve 53 GR rear rim carries a 53mm profile, deeper than its front-wheel sibling since rim depth barely touches steering feel at the back. A 2.8mm asymmetric spoke bed offset improves bracing angles on the drive side, building a stiffer, more balanced wheel than a symmetric rim allows. Hollow Hook construction keeps the rim light despite the added depth, holding the 30mm internal and 44mm external profile without a weight penalty.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The asymmetric spoke bed is what I notice most after a few hundred miles, the wheel stays true and doesn't need the truing sessions a symmetric rear rim at this depth usually demands. That stiffness holds up through washboard sections where a lot of rear wheels start to flex."
