SLR 50 0 Wheelsystem
ALL-DAY AERO
The SLR 0 50 sets a new benchmark as the top lightweight aero wheel in the Giant lineup. A wind-tunnel proven 50mm hookless aero rim with optimized high-tensile carbon layup creates an ideal balance of stiffness and low weight. Dynamic Balanced Lacing maximizes power transfer. And a 40-tooth low-friction hub delivers fast, reliable engagement under load. It all adds up to real gains in speed, efficiency and control.
Key Performance Factors
CLASS-LEADING AERODYNAMICS & SUPPORT
A wind-tunnel-tested 50mm hookless aero rim profile delivers exceptional aerodynamic efficiency, while aero carbon spokes increase watt savings and improve stability in variable conditions. A reinforced 3.8mm rim bead integrates more cleanly with the tire sidewall for better airflow and greater support when cornering at speed.
LIGHTWEIGHT EFFICIENCY & INSTANT POWER TRANSFER
Aero carbon spokes and Dynamic Balanced Lacing increase torsional rigidity for immediate power transfer. An optimized high-tensile carbon layup helps reduce weight by 90g compared to the SLR 1 50, resulting in 20% greater transmission-to-weight. And a a 40-tooth low-friction ratchet hub delivers faster engagement, reduced bearing load, and smoother, more efficient acceleration.
TOTAL CONTROL & RACE-READY CONFIDENCE
A durable hookless rim structure allows a wider inner profile without added weight, improving stability and impact resistance. The 22.4mm inner width shapes higher-volume tires into a broader contact patch for better traction, comfort, and compliance.
