SLR 1 40 650b WheelSystem
Sure Footed Speed
The SLR 1 40 650b WheelSystem delivers the same lightweight efficiency and aerodynamic advantages as its 700C counterpart, but is specifically designed for smaller frame sizes. This performance road wheel offers rapid acceleration and nimble handling—making it the perfect choice for small riders taking on big challenges.
LIGHTWEIGHT
Optimized carbon layup with high-tensile-strength carbon fiber strategically places reinforcement at critical stress points, creating a stiff, lightweight structure. At just 1300g, the 650b option further reduces the weight, making it ideal for smaller bikes and lighter riders.
EFFICIENT
The SLR 1 40 650b WheelSystem features a lightweight carbon rim specifically tuned for smaller frame sizes and riders. Its smaller diameter and shorter spokes offer increased stiffness and better transmission efficiency.
CONFIDENT
A strategically optimized carbon layup reinforces key stress zones with high-tensile-strength fibers, enhancing strength without adding weight. The hookless rim design forms a continuous, robust structure for lightweight durability, while the 22.4mm inner width and wider 2.8mm bead provide better tire support and more confident handling on road and mixed terrain.
Highlights
1
Hookless Rim Design
Hookless rim design enhances overall durability and offers a wider inner rim width without adding weight.
2
OPTIMIZED CARBON LAY-UP
Optimized carbon layup features high-tensile strength carbon fiber placed at the most crucial points to provide stiff and lightweight wheels.
3
40MM RIM DEPTH
40mm hookless rim profile provides added aerodynamic advantage.
4
Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL)
Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) technology makes a stiffer, more efficient wheel with outstanding power transfer. The enlarged DBL hub flange increases spoke bracing angles, boosting overall transmission and lateral stiffness for better power transfer.
5
2.8MM RIM BEAD WIDTH
2.8mm rim bead width enhances rim stiffness for better tire support when cornering.
6
22.4MM INNER RIM WIDTH
Designed for high volume road tires, the 22.4mm wide inner rim width creates a larger tire contact patch, resulting in better traction and impact absorption for more confidence and control.
7
GIANT LOW-FRICTION HUB
Giant low-friction hub with precision machined internals eliminates excessive bearing load, reducing bearing friction and lowering rolling resistance to minimize power loss.
