A meticulously engineered XC wheelset that delivers on every front—speed, efficiency, handling, and durability—all in a lightweight, race-ready package.
309 XC
For decades, Reynolds has been at the forefront of wheel innovation, crafting some of the most advanced and enduring performance wheels across every discipline of cycling. From road to mountain, and from the earliest days of carbon composites to today’s most refined race technologies, Reynolds has earned a reputation for building tip-of-the-spear performance that lasts, backed by the industry’s leading guarantee.

Now, the wheel experts turn their attention to the next evolution of cross-country performance. Drawing directly from the universally lauded 309 XC carbon platform, Reynolds introduces the A309 XC Wheel Family — an all-new aluminum range developed with the same meticulous design philosophy and uncompromising standards that define the brand’s carbon legacy.

Built for riders who demand the quickness, control, and durability of a true XC race wheel, the A309 XC series proves that Reynolds’ expertise goes far beyond material, it’s about mastery in every element.

Born from the Carbon Benchmark
The A309 XC series is built upon the same engineering principles that define the 309 XC carbon line, a focus on structural integrity, lightweight design, and engineered compliance that delivers speed and control in perfect balance. By applying those same design philosophies to 6069 aluminum, Reynolds created a wheelset that retains the crisp, confident ride feel of its carbon sibling while adding the everyday dependability and value that alloy riders demand. Two versions, A309 XC Pro and A309 XC Expert, bring race-bred performance to the wider XC audience, translating Reynolds’ carbon expertise into a new, accessible form of excellence.

ULD: Ultra Low Drag Development Approach
ULD is the Reynolds engineering approach that scrutinizes every freehub component, geometry, material, and interaction, to eliminate unnecessary drag and maximize efficiency. By refining pawl profiles, engagement geometry, spring rates, and surface finishes, Reynolds converts more rider input into forward motion without compromising durability. The result is crisp, reliable engagement and effortless speed, achieved through meticulous design rather than shortcuts.

Ringlé SBX
The Ringlé SBX hub is engineered to deliver immediate power transfer and unwavering reliability in demanding riding environments. Built around a precisely machined internal system, the SBX prioritizes rapid engagement and consistent performance, ensuring every pedal input is translated directly to forward momentum.

A robust engagement mechanism provides a responsive feel under load while maintaining smooth rolling characteristics when coasting. High-quality sealed bearings safeguard the internals from contamination, preserving efficiency and durability through wet, dusty, and high-mileage conditions. The hub shell is fully CNC-machined to exact tolerances, resulting in a structure that balances strength with controlled weight while supporting precise spoke alignment. Designed to integrate seamlessly with modern drivetrains and axle standards, the Ringlé SBX hub delivers confident engagement, refined operation, and long-term dependability—making it a trusted foundation for performance-driven wheel systems.

Ringlé SRX
The Ringlé SRX hub is engineered to deliver dependable performance with minimal complexity, making it a versatile foundation for high-quality wheel systems. At its core is a proven three-pawl engagement system designed for consistent power transfer and long-term durability across a wide range of riding conditions. Precision-machined internals ensure smooth, reliable engagement while maintaining efficient rolling performance.

The pawl geometry is optimized to balance quick response under load with reduced wear, allowing the hub to perform quietly and consistently whether climbing, accelerating, or navigating technical terrain. High-quality sealed cartridge bearings protect the internals from dirt, moisture, and trail debris, ensuring smooth operation and extended service life. The SRX hub shell is designed with strength and weight balance in mind, providing a solid platform that stands up to daily riding and demanding trail use without unnecessary mass. With compatibility across modern axle standards and drivetrain options, the Ringlé SRX hub offers dependable engagement, low-maintenance performance, and the durability riders expect from a Ringlé-engineered component.

Aluminum Rims
Reynolds alloy rims are conceived through an exacting synthesis of advanced aluminum forming methodologies and precision welding processes, resulting in a meticulously calibrated equilibrium of structural integrity, mass efficiency, and dynamic ride characteristics. Each rim profile is deliberately engineered to maximize impact attenuation and torsional rigidity while preserving a measured degree of compliance essential for refined control under aggressive riding conditions.

High-tolerance welded joints, followed by post-weld precision machining, ensure exceptional concentricity and long-term structural resilience. Sophisticated extrusion techniques enable highly intentional material distribution, placing reinforcement precisely where mechanical loads are greatest. The outcome is an alloy rim that maintains dimensional stability under extreme stress, resists deformation through repeated impacts, and delivers a composed, performance-driven ride experience emblematic of Reynolds engineering.

RTV: Reynolds Terrain Versatility
RTV is the Reynolds off-road design philosophy that defines how we engineer wheels for every discipline without compromise. It is the framework through which we balance all the forces that matter off-road: lateral stiffness, engineered compliance, tracking and handling, power transfer, weight, reactivity, and tire dynamics…to arrive at the optimal solution for each intended use.

Every wheel developed under the RTV approach is validated through rigorous in-house laboratory testing and real-world riding at the highest levels of competition, ensuring that discipline-specific performance is matched by unmatched reliability. The result is not a generic, one-size-fits-all wheel, but a precisely tuned solution that delivers the best possible blend of speed, control, traction, and durability for its terrain and purpose.

Spokes
Wheelsmith straight pull and J-bend spokes are engineered to deliver exceptional strength, fatigue resistance, and consistency across a wide range of riding demands. Manufactured from high-quality materials and precisely cold-worked, each spoke is designed to maintain uniform tension and long-term durability under repeated load cycles. Straight pull spokes reduce stress concentrations at the head, promoting efficient load transfer and improved longevity, while J-bend spokes offer proven reliability and broad compatibility with traditional hub designs. Together, these spoke options allow wheel builders to fine-tune performance characteristics, resulting in wheels that remain stable, resilient, and responsive – ride after ride.
