Reynolds Launches All-New 309 XC Wheel Family – The Ultimate Recipe for XC Race Winning Performance That Lasts.

Reynolds is proud to introduce the all-new 309 XC wheel family

A ground-up redesign tailored for the evolving demands of modern cross-country racing. Lightweight enough for elite competition, yet rugged beyond convention, the 309 XC range is a statement of Reynolds’ enduring commitment to durable performance without compromise.

Lightweight enough for elite competition, yet rugged beyond convention, the 309 XC range is a statement of Reynolds’ enduring commitment to durable performance without compromise.

Built on the Reynolds MTB Formula; Absolute Structural Integrity, Lightweight Construction, Engineered Compliance, and Lateral Stiffness, the 309 XC line embodies carbon with purpose. Three models, Blacklabel 309 XC Pro, Blacklabel 309 XC Expert, and TR 309 XC, deliver unique performance packages underpinned by a shared, next-generation rim design.

New Era of Carbon Engineering for XC

At the heart of the 309 XC is an all-new rim profile that is asymmetric and structurally optimized to exceed even the most aggressive XC expectations. The new FEA optimized profile and updated carbon layup, incorporates the perfect amount of performance-oriented vertical compliance to reduce fatigue, confer additional traction and improve handling.

This enhanced compliance isn’t just about comfort; it’s rooted in the performance-first ethos derived from Reynolds’ DH and Enduro development. A rim with the perfect amount of vertical compliance will track over terrain in a superior manner, providing unparalleled control and superior handling than a less sophisticated and stiffer solution.

Additionally, the Reynolds XC wheelset addresses the physical toll the longer duration of both XCO and XCM places on the athlete. By taming trail chatter and reducing rider fatigue over long distances, the 309 XC makes every watt count without sacrificing control or precision. Increased lucidity and additional gas in the tank, thanks to a better engineered wheel.

Thanks to the optimized spoke angles and tension balance afforded by the asymmetric design, there’s no need for compromise. It’s one design, tuned to handle everything XC can throw your way, without gimmick or fluff.

Proven Innovation, Instant Engagement

The Blacklabel 309 XC Pro model sets the standard with Reynolds x Industry Nine Solix hubs, a five-pawl, continuously phased drive system that delivers 0.59° of engagement for virtually instantaneous power transfer . It’s XC race energy with trail-bike aggression, backed by premium bladed spokes and hand-built quality.

Reynolds delivers no-nonsense performance at every level: every model features the same rim shape, extreme durability without equal, and asymmetric architecture. No smoke, just substance. Every product that earns the Reynolds name does so by offering real, tangible, and measurable performance gains for riders. If it doesn’t provide meaningful benefit, it doesn’t make it to market. That’s the Reynolds standard.

Built for War, Tuned for Flight

Reynolds’ approach to durability isn’t lip service, it’s legacy. Every 309 XC rim in the Blacklabel series is built with Reynolds’ proprietary MR5 layup protocol and design meticulously optimized for XC abuse yet retaining the low rotational weight elite racers demand. In other words, the Reynolds calling card durability puts it in a class of its own, but accomplishing said durability in a complete package with such a competitive weight is perhaps an engineering marvel worthy of higher praise still. Whether you’re chasing podiums, pushing through punishing terrain or both, the 309 XC is engineered to not only survive, but thrive.

Reynolds wheels don’t just deliver performance for a single lap. They’re built as long-term race partners, an investment in your progression and performance, not a participation tax. That promise is backed by Reynolds’ Lifetime Guarantee and 30-Day Ride Guarantee, the strongest commitment in the industry.
