Why We Like The DH 27.5in Chris King Wheelset

A proper downhill rig needs to handle more abuse than your typical mountain bike, so when we're building up our latest 8-inch travel steeds we opt for the Reserve DH for our wheelset. Constructed using an overbuilt DH-specific carbon layup, a wide hookless bead, and a 32-spoke configuration with reinforced spoke holes, the Reserve DH are built to smash through rock gardens at a World Cup level pace. Chris King hubs leave nothing to be desired, having proven themselves one of the top choices in mountain biking for decades.
