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.
SLR 1 42 Disc WheelSystem
All-Around Speed
The SLR 1 42 Disc WheelSystems are efficient lightweight all-around carbon road wheels that bring premium-level performance to all riders. Featuring hookless rim design and optimized carbon layup to ensure a robust yet lightweight structure, contemporary wider inner width, as well as low friction hubs offering low rolling resistance and Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) technology to maintain maximum power efficiency, the SLR 1 42 Disc bring outstanding performance at no compromise.
Key Performance Factors
Lightweight and Strong
Giant’s hookless rim design enhances overall strength and offers wider inner rim width, while an optimized carbon layup places carbon fiber at the most critical points to create an exceptionally robust structure at a minimum weight
Maximum Power
With Giant’s Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology and low friction hub, the SLR 1 features superior transmission efficiency and drastically reduced rolling resistance
Confident Handling
Hookless rim design’s wider inner width not only provides better support for a higher volume tire but also forms a rounder tire shape for better cornering stability.
Highlights
Behind the outstanding performance of the new Giant SLR 1 42 Disc WheelSystems are several innovative technologies that deliver lightweight advantage, max power transfer and confident handling.
Technologies & Features
Dynamic Balanced Lacing
Engineered with more leverage on the “pulling” spoke and less on the “pushing” spoke, DBL technology maximises the performance of the wheel while it’s in a dynamic state by forming a perfect balance of spoke tension to deliver optimal transmission stiffness and braking performance.
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 tire shape providing superior grip and handling as well as added sidewall support when cornering. Additionally, without the rim hook to “push” the tire bead inward, hookless rim design offers a more seamless airflow between the tire and the sidewall of the rim, resulting in less drag and improved aero performance when compared to standard hook-type rims.
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.
Tubeless System
Fewer flat tyres. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.
