Giant started out building Chromoly frames in 1972 and have since pioneered the construction of Aluminium and Composite frames and components. Many of their high-end bikes have won championships and design awards, and with over 12,000 Giant dealers around the world, their long standing reputation clearly precedes them.

Details

The SLR 2 42 Disc WheelSystem is a lightweight and robust carbon wheelsystem that is built to last. Combining hookless rim design and optimised carbon layup with a modern 19.4 inner width, the SLR 2 42 Disc delivers great value to performance cyclists who require minimal tradeoff between price, weight and durability.

Highlights

Low Friction Hub

Giant uses precision machined internals to eliminate the power loss that occurs through the pressure from the hub internals on the bearings, reducing friction and minimizing rolling resistance.

Hookless Design

Lightweight Performance: Compared with hook-type rims, Giant’s new hookless design has a wider inner rim width, allowing a smaller, lighter tyre to have the same volume as a larger, heavier tire, resulting in a lighter overall weight.
Enchanced Durability: Giant’s hookless rim design is realized through an innovative manufacturing process that results in a more continuous carbon fiber structure. This process enhances durability and increases impact resistance with no weight penalty.
Confident Handling: Hookless rims help create a more round tyre shape that provides superior grip and handling as well as added sidewall support when cornering.
Aero Advantage: Without the rim hook to “push” the tyre bead inward, Giant's hookless rim design offers a more seamless airflow between the tyre and the sidewall of the rim, resulting in less drag and improved aero performance when compared to standard hook-type rims.

Optimised Carbon Layout

Through high-tensile strength carbon fiber placed at the most crucial points and tested with Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Giant’s engineers overcame the challenge of building wheels that are as durable as they are lightweight. With industry leading stiffness, ride compliance and strength all at the lightest weight possible, the new SLR WheelSystems are fast and strong.

Features
