Reynolds has rolled out three new lightweight carbon wheelsets, all touting the same 25mm profile with the top-tier model tipping the scales at a feathery 1251 grams.
All three sets of hoops feature a hooked, tubeless-ready design, along with the same 21mm internal and 30mm wide rim, which depending on where the wheel sits in the hierarchy of models, spin on either Industry Nine Torch, Sun Ringlé Super Bubba X or Sun Ringlé SRX hubs.
Reynolds breaks the wheels down into three categories, AR, Blacklabel Expert and Blacklabel Pro, which in addition to their respective hubs, are further differentiated by the carbon lay-up process, with the Blacklabel Pro representing the most premium version.
The AR 25, Blacklabel 25 Expert and Blacklabel 25 Pro, sell for $1450, $1900 and $2300, respectively, which all come with a lifetime warranty and are available with Shimano HG, SRAM XDR, or Campagnolo N3W freehubs.
