Gold Standard Performance: Improved and Redefined. Durability without equal Maintained.
The Reynolds gravity wheels have become the gold standard in the industry and amongst athletes due to their nearly indestructible nature and race-winning performance. The collection’s universal praise was earned as much through numerous victories on the world’s highest stage as it was by single wheelsets competing and winning over the course of complete EWS and UCI DH seasons. The Reynolds engineering department, steadfastly dedicated to continuous innovation, felt there were opportunities to build even more performance into what was already hailed as the competitive standard. The fruit of their labor comes in the form of the new Reynolds 307 and 309 Gravity wheel collection that represents a whole new level of performance while maintaining the Reynolds calling card of durability.
The groundbreaking revelation in performance through compliance resulted in a wildly different rim design, and a new performance standard

Reynolds 307/309 Enduro Wheels
IN DEVELOPING THE NEW COLLECTION, WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE WORLD’S STRONGEST ATHLETES IN BOTH DH AND ENDURO PROVED INTEGRAL NOT ONLY TO IDENTIFY AREAS WHERE PERFORMANCE COULD BE INCREASED, BUT ALSO TO TEST ALL ITERATIONS AT THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST LEVEL FOR APPROVAL AND VALIDATION. Feedback from prestigious athletes at the pinnacle of sport, such as Pivot Factory Racing, whose success in both DH and ENDURO speaks for itself, would prove integral to the overall design direction and development of the new wheels. While conventional mindsets were looking for stiffer wheels, the testing with Pivot Factory Racing highlighted that adding compliance to the wheelset actually increased tracking capabilities and control, translating to better handling and faster overall performance.

“Using this industry leading durability and performance of the previous version as a foundation upon which to build more compliance, better handling and, consequentially, more speed is redefining what the pinnacle of competitive gravity wheels should be. Reynolds BL307/309 gravity wheels: industry leaders for durability, compliance and control… and as a result, speed.“
Reynolds Gravity wheels have long represented the most durable DH and Enduro wheels available, capable not only of surviving entire seasons underneath world class riders at the highest level and in the most extreme racing circumstances…but winning also. Winning performance that performs repeatedly, in perhaps the sport's most demanding discipline insofar as componentry is concerned.
Performance Through Compliance
The groundbreaking revelation in performance through compliance resulted in a wildly different rim design when compared to previous iterations. The rim design of the new BL307/BL309 is visibly different, even to the naked eye, as it is markedly shallower and slightly wider. The new profile is 5.5mm shallower, going from 26mm in the previous version to a vastly shorter 20.5mm which aids in vertical compliance to the tune of nearly 40% in the IDM/Black Label version (30% in the TR version).
Unrivaled Reliability, Unbelievable Durability
The all new BL307/309 wheels represent the absolute fastest wheel solutions available for DH and Enduro but also lead the industry in terms of impact resistance and durability. Such reliability derives from the Reynolds IDM Matrix which is a combination of the highest-quality carbon fibers, a unique resin with exceptional impact dispersing characteristics and meticulously studied layup and orientation of the two. The IDM matrix technologies allow Reynolds to develop wheels that stand alone in their strength to weight ratio…making for wheels that not only are extremely reliable but represent no compromise in terms of weight. So reliable, they are backed up with a lifetime guarantee on the structural integrity of the carbon rim.
PERFORMANCE THAT LASTS
Only a truly well-built wheel can lay claim to having survived a complete EWS season or a complete UCI DH World Cup season at the highest level…on one set of rims. The Reynolds gravity wheels can proudly boast to having done so on not one but several occasions.
MR5
Mountain Rim 5 is the intricate construction process
of our BLACKLABEL mountain rims. Clearly, these
rims must stand up to considerable abuse and
maintain usage specific ride quality. Key zones in
the rim are all considered both individually and as
a holistic system to balance strength, durability,
weight and compliance.
IDM
IDM is our Impact Dispersing Matrix, a combination
of high-quality carbon fiber and a unique resin with
exceptional impact dispersing characteristics. Used
in our BLACKLABEL PRO and EXPERT MTN & GRAVEL
wheels to improve impact strength, tune ride
quality, and achieve very low weights all without
sacrificing durability. With durability proven on
the WC downhill and EWS circuit, our IDM material
stands alone in its strength to weight ratio.
Reynolds MTN Hubs
Ringle Bubba hubs carrying on the tradition of Ringle durability, quality and performance, fully CNC machined with quick 4° engagement or bomb proof 8° engagement.
QUALITY WHEELS, QUALITY SPOKES
You cannot produce quality wheels without quality spokes. This is why all Reynolds Wheels are built with Sapim spokes. For over 100 years, Sapim has created and produced some of the highest quality spokes available within the marketplace.
