We first spotted these at Interbike last year where they were hidden behind the desk as a spiff for dealers that signed on to stock Reynolds wheels for 2015. Plans for production were nonexistent, but interest must’ve been pretty high because now they’re available to all.
With the burgeoning participation in gravel riding and cyclocross racing, the new Reynolds ATR (All Terrain Road) disc brake carbon wheelset is their answer to the varied terrain those disciplines see.
The wheelset uses their tubeless ready Trail carbon mountain bike rim drilled with a lighter spoke lacing pattern and their road disc brake hubs. That means lighter weight than if you were to use a 29er MTB wheelset, and the wide profile rim should provide plenty of durability over rough and loose terrain and let you run low, tube-free air pressures for more comfort and traction…
ATR front and rear wheels feature 24 straight pull spokes, laced in a two cross pattern with external alloy nipples. The rims measure 29mm externally/21mm internally, making these among the widest in this segment. Rim depth measures at 28mm. Weight is very respectable at 1535 grams for the pair.
The wheelset spins on Reynolds own CenterLock disc brake road hubs. Each wheelset includes tubeless tape, valve stems and end caps with QR or thru-axle compatibility.
Reynolds ATR Disc Brake wheels will debut at the North American Handbuilt Bicycle Show, held from March 6th to 8th, Kentucky International Convention Center, Booth #407.
