XCR Carbon XC Wheelsystem | Rapid Response

Proven at the highest level by World Champion Alan Hatherly, the new XCR WheelSystem pushes the limits of what’s possible on fast, technical XC terrain. Engineered with advanced carbon construction, Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) spoke technology, and a next-generation hub drive system, it combines the razor-sharp speed of an XC race wheel with the strength and control needed for full-speed, technical trail riding. From explosive starts to gnarly descents, XCR transmits every watt into forward motion, giving you the confidence to push harder, ride faster, and stay in control when it matters most.

Wichtige Leistungsfaktoren

FULL POWER

A lightweight carbon rim layup, high-tensile-strength carbon spokes, and Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) deliver uncompromising race-day efficiency. This advanced spoke-lacing system sets the leading and trailing spokes at a wider bracing angle and balances their tension under power, creating a stiffer, more stable wheel structure that resists deflection when you accelerate or corner hard. Working together with the lightweight rim construction, this design achieves exceptional stiffness-to-weight. The result is explosive acceleration, razor-sharp handling, and greater control across fast, technical terrain. At just 1350g, the new XCR sheds 150g compared to the previous generation. Lateral stiffness-to-weight improves by 8.8%, boosting precision through corners, while rear transmission stiffness-to-weight increases by 26 % for more efficient power transfer.

ZERO DELAY

Every split second counts in XC racing, and this next-generation hub is engineered to deliver immediate, consistent power with every pedal stroke. At its core, the Helical-Bevel Ratchet Drive System creates a 10° helical engagement between the hub and ratchet rings. This angled, conical interface allows the ratchet teeth to mesh progressively rather than head-on, spreading load more evenly and maintaining constant contact through each engagement. The result is efficient torque transfer, reduced stress on components, and quieter operation under peak load. The 120-tooth helical ratchet system delivers 3° engagement for immediate reaction, ensuring instant power when accelerating. Together, these technologies deliver precise responsiveness and long-term durability, helping you maximize your speed and control on the most demanding XC terrain.

HIGH IMPACT RESISTANCE

Built to withstand the demands of modern XC racing and fast trail riding, Wide Guard Technology with reinforced hookless carbon rim construction delivers industry-leading strength and reliability. Rounded-edge 5mm better absorb impacts, reducing the risk of pinch flats, and a 30mm inner width supports lower tire pressures for more traction and control. Each XCR spoke features six carbon fiber tows, delivering increased strength and impact resistance over competitor designs with four tows. The result is exceptional durability and strength without added weight.

Technologien

Dynamic Balanced Lacing

Durch das bahnbrechende Dynamic Balanced Lacing- Konzept von GIANT haben gegenüberliegende Speichen verschiedene Spannungen, wenn das Laufrad statisch ist. Aber wenn ein Fahrer Kraft auf die Pedale bringt, gleicht sich die Spannung der Speichen an. Das verbessert die Antriebssteifigkeit eines Laufrads und erhöht die Effizienz.

Wide Guard Technologie

Wenn dein Rad auf eine scharfe oder eckige Kante trifft, können insbesondere bei hoher Geschwindigkeit Druckstellen und Felgenschäden auftreten. Die Wide Guard-Technologie minimiert dieses Risiko, indem sie den Kontaktpunkt zwischen Felge und Reifen mit einer soliden 5-mm-Felgenflanke verbreitert. Das bedeutet, dass du auf die schweren Reifen-Einlagen verzichten kannst, um weniger ungefederte Masse an deinem Fahrrad zu haben und eine bessere Leistung deiner Federung zu ermöglichen. Die breiten Seitenwände schützen dein Rad auch besser vor starken Stößen und verringern so die Möglichkeit von Felgenschäden.

Hookless Felgendesign

GIANT's neue Hookless Felgen erzeugen eine rundere Reifenform die für verbesserten Grip und sicherere Handlingeigenschaften durch eine bessere Abstützung der Seitenwand sorgen. Außerdem verbessert sich durch ein optimiertes Carbon Lay Up die Stabilität der Felge und führt außerdem zu einer optimierten Aerodynamik.
