REYNOLDS Introduces the G30 Gravel Expert Wheelset
For decades, the Reynolds name has been synonymous with uncompromising ride quality, proven reliability, and enduring performance. Built on a legacy of wheel innovation and material mastery, Reynolds now re-introduces a metallic chapter with the new Alloy rangeThe G30 Expert Alloy Gravel Wheelset represents Reynolds’ expertise beyond material boundaries. It carries forward the same design philosophy, precision, and ride character that define the brand’s carbon range, proving that true performance is about more than what you build with it’s about how you build.

A New Wheel, Same Reynolds Soul
Developing an alloy gravel wheel worthy of the Reynolds badge required more than changing materials. It demanded the same obsessive engineering and attention to detail that define every Reynolds product. The challenge: create an aluminum wheel that embodies the smooth, responsive, and efficient ride of Reynolds carbon, while delivering everyday durability and ease of ownership. The result is a wheelset designed to excel over rough and variable terrain with the same confidence and control that have made Reynolds carbon wheels a benchmark. Whether racing, exploring, or venturing far beyond pavement, the G30 Expert delivers performance that lasts, in every element.

Engineering for Adventure
The G30 Expert features a double-wall, welded-joint aluminum rim in 700c, built with durability and versatility in mind. Its 26 mm internal, hooked, tubeless-ready channel supports higher-volume gravel and MTB tires from 40 mm to 56 mm, a nod to riders who see the road’s end as the start of the adventure. While the broad platform enhances strength and stability, the low 17 mm rim depth defines the wheel’s refined ride feel. The shallower structure softens impacts and delivers a more compliant, controlled sensation over unpredictable terrain.  The resulting wheelset is the product of a wholistic approach that culminates in the perfect solution for a given wheel’s intended purpose: RTV design philosophy.

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. Rather than isolating a single performance metric, RTV considers the complete riding system, from rim profile and tire interface to material selection, layup strategy, and production technique. 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. RTV also serves as a guarantee to the rider: whichever discipline-specific wheel you choose from the Reynolds range, you can be confident it represents the absolute best overall recipe of performance, reliability, and ride-improving design possible: no compromises, no guesswork, and no equal.

Precision from the Hub Out
Every Reynolds wheel is engineered as a complete system, and the G30 Expert is no exception. At its center is the SRX hub, selected for its perfect balance of strength and efficiency. A straight-pull shell design maximizes spoke integrity, while the three-pawl, 30-tooth ratchet provides crisp 12-degree engagement for fast, consistent power transfer. It’s a hub built for reliability and refined performance, mile after mile. Upon first inspection the hub is unassuming but its secret to amazing performance and reliability lies in its development process. The SRX hub is built via Reynolds ULD (Ultra Low Drag) development approachULD is the Reynolds engineering approach that scrutinizes every freehub component, geometry, material, and interactionto 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.

Strength with Speed
Adventure demands durability, performance demands finesse. The G30 Expert strikes that balance beautifully. Its welded alloy rim, low-profile design, and precision-machined components yield a total weight of 1647 grams per pair, a figure that surprises not for what it adds, but for what it removes: compromise. Strong, stable, and light on its feet, the G30 Expert is a wheel that invites riders to go further and faster, with confidence born from decades of Reynolds engineering. Strength with speed and performance that lasts are core tenets of the Reynolds promise and as such, the entire alloy range, gravel wheels included, are backed by a lifetime rim guarantee.
