Product news: Reynolds presents the completely redesigned 309 XC wheel family, tailored to the growing demands of modern cross-country racing. At the heart of the wheels is the asymmetric and structurally optimized rim profile, which, combined with the redesigned carbon layup, is designed to exceed even the most demanding XC requirements.
With the 309 XC wheel family, manufacturer Reynolds underscores its ongoing commitment to durable and uncompromising performance. To achieve this, the wheels are based on Reynolds' MTB formula: structural integrity, lightweight construction, optimized compliance, and lateral stiffness. The improved compliance isn't just for comfort, but is based on the performance principle that emerged from Reynolds' DH and Enduro development. A rim with the perfect vertical compliance practically glides over the terrain, offering more control and better handling than a stiffer solution.
Lifetime warranty and 30-day driving guarantee
Furthermore, the Reynolds XC wheels are designed to accommodate the physical demands placed on athletes during longer XCO and XCM rides. The wheels' damping reduces rider fatigue over long distances without sacrificing control or precision, Reynolds explains in the product presentation. The manufacturer backs this promise with a lifetime warranty and a 30-day ride guarantee. The brand-new 309 XC wheel family is divided into three series: Blacklabel 309 XC Pro, Blacklabel 309 XC Expert, and TR 309 XC.
The Blacklabel 309 XC Pro is designed for riders seeking the most powerful XC wheel Reynolds has ever developed. Features include a next-generation carbon construction, a 30 mm TSS profile, and Solix hubs for instant acceleration. The Blacklabel 309 XC Expert offers race-proven carbon technology with Ringle Super Bubba X hubs and the same profile and MR5 layup as the Pro version. The TR 309 XC features the same advanced rim shape as the Blacklabel models, with Reynolds x Ringle SRX hubs and balanced spoke architecture—for riders who want an authentic race feel with true resilience.
