Fast, efficient and lightweight for long rides through mountain backroads but still tough and durable for big days across relentless gravel as well as fast rips on technical dirt; the all-new, go-anywhere CXR 1 represents the evolution of versatile performance.
Technology
Hookless Rim Design
Hookless rim design enhances overall durability, offers a wider inner rim width without adding extra weight and also helps create a more round tyre shape providing superior grip and handling as well as added sidewall support when cornering. Additionally, without the rim hook to "push" the tyre bead inward, 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.
Dynamic Balanced Lacing
Since its introduction in 2015, Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) has been the cornerstone of Giant Wheel Systems. DBL ensures that spokes are set for optimal tension when under dynamic load, resulting in enhanced durability and pedaling efficiency. The enlarged DBL hub flange also increases the spoke bracing angles, which boosts overall torsional/transmission and lateral stiffness for better power transfer and more stable sprinting.
Features
- Optimising carbon lay-up places high-tensile strength carbon fibre at the most crucial points, ensuring a robust structure at a class-leading weight
- Giant hookless technology further enhances the rim's durability with a more consistent carbon fibre structure, creating XC-level impact resistance and a rounder tyre shape for better grip and handling as well as added sidewall support when cornering
- 25mm inner rim width is apt for larger volume road and gravel tyres
- Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology ensures spokes are set for optimal tension when pedaling, resulting in enhanced durability and transmission efficiency, creating a stiffer, more efficient wheel that winds up fast and carries more speed
- 54 tooth DT 350 hub offers near-instant engagement for quick power on technical climbs
