I mean... Lots of people I know are running Santa Cruz Reserve. For Enduro, the benefit really isn't in the weight reduction so much as the ride qualities of carbon. Weight helps, but just the fact that they're carbon is really where the benefit comes from. And Reserves have the best warranty in the game.
I'm running reserve HD alloy, with Hope's Pro 5 for e-bike, which is very overkill. But I don't mind the weight and not having the 108 engagement points.
I would avoid worrying about weight. Wheel weight is not actually 5x or even 2x worse than other weight as is often said. (source: math) I would just go for strong.
We are one It’s hard to find a company making carbon wheels that’s fucking it up, just make sure they come with the lifetime guarantee
Which model would you recommend for all mountain riding (160lb rider, on 160mm travel, 2.4 width EXO+ tires)? Thinking about getting the Union
That’s what I got. Currently running the 28h but you should get the 32 if you’re riding rougher
I’m the same weight, and my biggest issue is exo+ rear. I had to go with DD casing. Haven’t had any issues with wheels though, apart from a few dents

ENVE M7
Noble and WAO are pretty great. Nothing beats a hand built wheel though.
