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.
Giant’s lightest, most efficient XC race WheelSystem delivers efficient power transmission, light weight and durability you can depend on. It all adds up to the performance advantage you need to crush every XC course.
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.
Optimized Weight
A Refined Inner Shape creates a tougher rim structure and the Precise Spoke Hole Reinforcement places strength where it is needed; both are accomplished without adding additional weight.
Efficiency and Control
Combining our Dynamic Balanced Lacing to enhance transmission stiffness for faster climbing with Optimal Inner Width to improve overall strength.
