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.
The all-new CXR 2 gravel WheelSystem showcases Giant’s prowess in building strong, lightweight carbon wheels. Through improved carbon layup, innovative hookless technology and a large inner rim width that allows for wider tyres and lower pressures, the CXR 2 is as strong as our XCR cross-country mountain bike wheel but clocks in at a much lighter weight, made specifically for gravel bikes.
Highlights
The all-new Giant CXR 2 WheelSystem combines several innovative technologies that make it lightweight and strong.
Optimised Carbon Layup
Placing high-tensile strength carbon fiber at only the most crucial points on the rim and testing through Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Giant’s engineers have managed to build a lightweight gravel wheel with superior strength and durability.
Optimised For Wider Tyres
Optimized for 38-40mm gravel tyres but also capable handling XC tyres up to 2.3”
Hookless Rim Design
Hookless technology enhances overall durability, increases impact resistance and offers a wider inner rim width without adding weight
Features
- Hookless rim design enhances overall durability and offers a wider inner rim width without adding weight
- Optimised carbon layup features high-tensile strength carbon fibre placed at the most crucial structural points to provide stiff, compliant and lightweight wheels
- A 35mm rim profile with a contemporary wider inner width offers improved support for today’s higher volume road and gravel tyres
