SLR 2 42 WheelSystem
All-Season Performance
The SLR 2 42vWheelSystems are lightweight and robust carbon wheels that are built to last. Combining hookless rim design and optimized carbon layup with a modern 19.4 inner width, the SLR 2 42 deliver great value to performance cyclists who require minimal tradeoff between price, weight and durability.
特徴
Lightweight
Optimized carbon layup places carbon fiber at the most critical points to create an exceptionally robust structure at a minimum weight
Strong & Durable
With a wider inner rim width, hookless rim design enhances overall durability
Confident Handling
Providing a wider inner width for better support of higher volume tires, hookless rim design forms a rounder tire shape for better cornering stability. The SLR 2 42 also features high TG resin to ensure high heat tolerance under heavy braking
ハイライト
Behind the outstanding performance of the new Giant SLR 1 42 WheelSystems are several innovative technologies that deliver lightweight advantage, max power transfer and confident handling.
1
Hookless Rim Design
LIGHTWEIGHT PERFORMANCE
Compared with hook-type rims, Giant’s new hookless design has a wider inner rim width, allowing a smaller, lighter tire to have the same volume as a larger, heavier tire, resulting in a lighter overall weight.
ENHANCED DURABILITY
Giant’s hookless rim design is realized through an innovative manufacturing process that results in a more continuous carbon fiber structure. This process enhances durability and increases impact resistance with no weight penalty.
CONFIDENT HANDLING
Hookless rims help create a more round tire shape that provides superior grip and handling as well as added sidewall support when cornering.
AERO ADVANTAGE
Without the rim hook to “push” the tire bead inward, Giant's hookless rim design offers a more seamless airflow between the tire and the sidewall of the rim, resulting in less drag and improved aero performance when compared to standard hook-type rims.

High TG Resin
Giant’s proprietary High Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) resin helps produce a brake track that withstands the higher heat caused by heavy rim braking, enhancing the rim’s long-term durability and braking performance.
3
Optimized Carbon Layup
Through high-tensile strength carbon fiber placed at the most crucial points and tested with Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Giant’s engineers overcame the challenge of building wheels that are as durable as they are lightweight. With industry leading stiffness, ride compliance and strength all at the lightest weight possible, the new SLR WheelSystems are fast and strong.
