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
The all-new XCR WheelSystems
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.
Highlights
Attack the trail with total confidence. Giant's totally re-designed 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.
Techs & Features
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.
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.
