Reserve 42|49 TA – High Performance Aero Wheels

The Reserve 42|49 TA embodies the perfect fusion of aerodynamics, lightness and reliability , offering a versatile and high-performance wheelset for every type of road ride.
Developed with Turbulent Aero technology, they are designed to offer stability, efficiency and comfort in any condition, from crosswinds to long distances.

Advanced aerodynamics

Each wheel is born from an advanced engineering process that starts with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) .
Exclusive wind tunnel testing simulates real-world airflow conditions to optimize aerodynamic efficiency and directional stability.
The result is a wheel capable of ensuring responsiveness and control even at high speeds, with a significant advantage in terms of air resistance.

Lightweight and durable carbon frame

Each wheel is crafted in Reserve’s Santa Cruz, California, composites lab, where they precisely define the fiber orientation for each model.
Thanks to proprietary impact and flex testing , the 42|49 TA offers superior strength and reduced weight, while maintaining the stiffness needed for direct power transmission.

Main advantages:

• Carbon fiber layup optimized for strength and lightness

• Exclusive test protocols to simulate real-world impacts

• Ideal balance between comfort and rigidity

Proven performance

The official debut of the Reserve 42|49 TA took place on the Cannondale SuperSix EVO LAB71 , one of the most iconic and high-performance bikes on the world scene.
A perfect combination of aerodynamic engineering and ultra-premium construction , which testifies to the excellence of this wheelset in high-performance cycling.
