Reserve uses externally reinforced spoke holes to strengthen the area where the rim sees the most force, around the spoke nipple. This provides for improved strength without adding unnecessary weight
Reserve has abused the 31|DH across six continents and it is designed to be put through its paces and come out unscathed. So whether you’re sending it down a steep and chunky World Cup track or riding laps at a bike park, these rims are simply the best out there
Asymmetrical rims, like those on the 31|DH, build stiffer, stronger and more reliable wheels by improving the bracing angles and equalizing the spoke tensions between the drive and non-drive side spokes
