To identify the best structure for overall performance and durability, Giant engineers examined every possible angle of the new rim composition. After months of testing, we decided on a new carbon molding process to produce a hookless design with superior carbon continuity. The result: greatly improved overall strength and impact resistance.
Confidence Delivered
TRX WheelSystems
The optimized carbon laminate in the Giant TRX 1 and WheelSystems creates an advanced structure that delivers the perfect balance of weight, compliance and strength. The result is efficient acceleration to get you up the mountain with speed combined with engineered compliance and vastly improved impact resistance to get you down with confidence.
Key Performance Factors
Enhanced Strength
Hookless Design enhances the overall strength and improves the consistency of the carbon structure and the Rim Bead Reinforcement helps to disperse impact loads and enhance the overall toughness for any technical descent.
Optimized Weight
A Refined Inner Shape creates a tougher rim structure and the Precise Spoke Hole Reinforcement places strength where it is needed; tougher structure is accomplished without adding additional weight.
Efficiency and Control
Combining our Dynamic Balanced Lacing to enhance transmission stiffness with Optimal Inner Width to improve overall stability results in better efficiency with pinpoint control.
Highlights
Attack the trail with total confidence. Giant's rim structure and optimized carbon laminate combine with our tried and tested Dynamic Balanced Lacing to create wheels that are light enough to conquer the steepest climbs, yet strong enough to attack the most technical descents with pinpoint control.

Hookless Design
2
Rim Bead Reinforcement
Tackling extreme singletrack, drops and jumps can be hard on your wheels. That's why we increased bead-to-bead width, to help disperse impact load and enhance the rim's structural strength, all without increasing overall weight.
3
Precise Spoke Reinforcement
To achieve the perfect balance of durability and weight, Giant engineered precise reinforcement around each spoke hole, giving support exactly where it’s needed without adding any unnecessary material.
4
Refined Inner Shape
Featuring optimized carbon layering, Giant’s redesigned rim has smoother transitions, creating a more durable overall structure with superior impact resistance.
5
Optimized Carbon Laminate
Made with an optimized laminate that uses carefully selected and meticulously placed carbon sheets, the new rim boasts maximum strength and performance without compromising weight.
6
Optimal Inner Rim Width
Optimized inner rim width maximizes the performance of today’s higher volume off-road tires, giving you improved traction and a smoother ride quality.
7
Boost Axles
Wider 110mm and 148mm hubs give improved lateral stiffness and superior control.
8
Dynamic Balanced Lacing
Engineered with more leverage on the “pulling” spoke and less on the “pushing” spoke, DBL technology maximizes the performance of the wheel in a dynamic state by generating a perfect balance of spoke tension for optimal transmission stiffness and braking performance.
Techs & 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.
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.
