Proven under the most demanding conditions by Giant Factory Off-Road Team racers, the TRA WheelSystem is now available in 24” and 26” options for smaller rippers. Alloy rims with hollow-construction 5mm rim walls beef-up impact protection but keep weight low for better suspension performance. The wide rim walls also reduce pinch flats and allow lower tire pressure for more traction and control. Out back, a durable 72-tooth freehub helps maximize power transfer for more speed and more fun.

DAMAGE CONTROL

When your wheel hits a sharp or square edge, especially at speed, pinch flats and rim damage can occur. New Wide Guard Technology minimizes this risk by broadening the contact point between the rim and tire with a super-strong 5mm rim sidewall. That means you can skip the heavy tire inserts to have less unsprung weight on your bike and allow your suspension to perform better. Wide sidewalls also better protect your wheel from big impacts, reducing the possibility of rim damage.

GAINING TRACTION

A broad 30mm inner rim width and 5mm sidewalls allow you to run much lower tire pressure for better traction and control. Add in a low 21mm rim depth for better compliance, and the TRA lets you blast the roughest terrain.

POWER MOVES

The lightweight, durable alloy and hollow rim walls combine with an industry-leading 72-tooth pawl driver for rapid power transfer and instant engagement. On the rear hub, an oversized drive-side hub body bearing, axle and ring nut combine with enlarged pawls to increase stiffness and further maximize durability.

Přednosti

Featuring race-proven durability and efficiency, the new TRA boasts a hollow 5mm wide rim edge design for added strength, a reduced risk of pinch flats, and lower tire pressure for more traction and control. Lightweight alloy rims and a 72-tooth hub help maximize power transfer and get you down the mountain faster.

Dynamic Balanced Lacing

Since its introduction in 2015, Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) has been the cornerstone of Giant WheelSystems. 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.

Wide Guard Technology

When your wheel hits a sharp or square edge, especially at speed, pinch flats and rim damage can occur. Wide Guard technology minimizes this risk by broadening the contact point between the rim and tire with a solid 5mm rim sidewall. That means you can skip the heavy tire inserts to have less unsprung weight on your bike and allow your suspension to perform better. The wide sidewalls also better protect your wheel from big impacts, reducing the possibility of rim damage.

Hookless Rim Design

Ve srovnání s klasickými ráfky, jejichž patky mají zahnuté okraje neboli „háčky“, hookless neboli bezháčkový design ráfků zvyšuje celkovou životnost ráfku, nabízí větší vnitřní šířku bez navýšení hmotnosti a také pomáhá vytvořit kulatější tvar pneumatiky poskytující vynikající přilnavost a ovladatelnost a přidanou podporu bočnice v zatáčkách. Díky absenci „háčku“, který by jinak „tlačil“ patku pneumatiky dovnitř, nabízí hookless ráfek plynulejší proudění vzduchu mezi pneumatikou a bočnicí ráfku, což má za následek menší odpor a lepší aerodynamický výkon ve srovnání se standardními ráfky.
