Giant SLR 2 42 Disc Wheelsystem

This is a brand new products that was removed from bicycles at our store and exchanged for higher series components. Rest assured, This items have never been used even once! Despite being removed from the original bike, it maintains its pristine, untouched condition.

The SLR 2 42 Disc WheelSystems are lightweight and robust carbon wheels that are built to last. Combining hookless rim design and optimized carbon layup with a modern 19.4 inner width, the SLR 2 42 Disc deliver great value to performance cyclists who require minimal tradeoff between price, weight and durability.

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.

Techs & Features

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.

Tubeless System:
Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.

Hookless Rim Design

• LIGHTWEIGHT PERFORMANCE : Compared with hook-type rims, Giant’s new hookless design has a wider inner rim width, allowing a smaller, lighter tire to have the same volume as a larger, heavier tire, resulting in a lighter overall weight.
• ENHANCED 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 tire shape that provides superior grip and handling as well as added sidewall support when cornering.
• AERO ADVANTAGE : Without the rim hook to “push” the tire bead inward, Giant's 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.
• Optimized Carbon Layup : 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.

The Giant Tubeless System

• RELIABILITY
  • 100% GUARANTEED COMPATIBILITY: : Through extensive validation processes, the Giant Tubeless System guarantees complete compatibility and air retention performance within all cycling categories.
  • ENHANCED DURABILITY: Giant’s validation processes also ensure that the Giant Tubeless System provides optimal durability in extreme conditions or usage.
  • PERFORMANCE : Going tubeless with Giant means riding faster, more comfortably and more safely. Here’s why:
• EFFICIENCY
  • SMOOTHER AND FASTER : Lower rolling resistance combines with a supple tire casing to provide a more efficient tire that conforms better to the road surface, absorbing small bumps and maintaining forward momentum.
• CONTROL
  • IMPROVED TRACTION MEANS MORE CONTROL : Lower air pressure and Giant’s proprietary rubber compounds allow the tires to conform better to the road or trail, resulting in improved traction and control under fast cornering and hard braking.
• COMFORT
  • A MORE SUPPLE FEEL : With Giant’s tubeless compound technology providing optimal compliance and a tubeless system’s ability to run lower tire pressure, less vibration is transmitted to the rider, resulting in a smoother, more comfortable ride.
• SAFETY
  • MORE CONFIDENCE : Giant Tubeless Tires feature optimal puncture protection technology that when combined with Giant Tubeless Sealant provide maximum protection and give more confidence by helping prevent sudden air loss that can cause a rider to lose control.
