Giant SLR 2 50 Disc Hookless 700c Front

The SLR 2 50 Disc is an accessibly priced carbon aero road wheel that delivers all-rounder speed and handling performance. It features a 50mm aero rim profiles for efficiency on the flats and a dynamic ride quality on hillier roads. Hookless rims with a broad inner width offer greater support for high-volume tires along with enhanced sidewall stiffness for better grip and cornering.

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.

PROVEN AERO EFFICIENCY
A 50mm aero rim shape and 30mm outer rim width combine for improved airflow over the tire and rim. The result is wind-tunnel-proven aero efficiency.

LIGHT AND EFFICIENT
Fast and versatile for flats, climbs and everything in between, the SLR 2 50 Disc delivers a dynamic ride quality and a lightweight build.

TOTAL CONFIDENCE
A broad 22.4mm inner rim width combined with a wider 3.8mm bead width provides greater support for high volume tires. This design also produces enhanced sidewall stiffness. The result is better handling and control, especially for high-speed descents and cornering.

HIGHLIGHTS:
– Hookless rim design saves weight and creates a broad 22.4mm inner rim width for increased actual tire contact patch, resulting in better traction and compliance.
– Optimal stiffness: High tensile strength carbon fiber is placed at only the most crucial points to provide optimal stiffness and class-leading weight
– Aero efficiency: Wind-tunnel-proven 50mm Hookless Aero Rim Profile provides a maximum aerodynamic advantage
