SLR 2 42 Disc
$500 Original price
The SLR 2 42 and SLR 2 42 Disc WheelSystems 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 & SLR 2 42 Disc deliver great value to performance cyclists who require minimal tradeoff between price, weight and durability.
Highlights
Behind the outstanding performance of the new Giant SLR 1 42 Disc 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.
2
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.

Techs & Features
Hookless Rim Design
Hookless rim design enhances overall durability, offers a wider inner rim width without adding extra weight and also helps create a more round tire shape providing superior grip and handling as well as added sidewall support when cornering. Additionally, without the rim hook to “push” the tire bead inward, 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.
