The SLR 2 65 Disc wheels are lightweight carbon aero wheels available at an attractive price. With a 65mm deep aero rim profile and a modern internal width of 22.4mm, the SLR 2 65 offers very good aerodynamic performance and an ideal fit for modern high volume tires. With Hookless rim design and optimized carbon layup to ensure a robust structure with minimal weight, the SLR 2 65 offers all riders a lightweight aero weapon.
High-strength carbon fibers placed in key locations and tested with finite element analysis (FEA) allowed us to develop wheels that are as durable as they are lightweight. With industry-leading stiffness, ride comfort and durability at the lowest possible weight, the new SLR 2 wheels are fast and strong.
Compared to traditional rims with hook designs, a hookless rim makes it easier to increase internal width without increasing weight. GIANT's new hookless rim design also allows a narrower, lighter tire to be used, as it occupies a significantly larger volume on a hookless rim than on a classic hooked rim.
GIANT's Hookless rim design incorporates an innovative manufacturing process that provides a much more robust carbon structure. This process improves the rim's durability and puncture protection without adding weight.
Hookless rims create a rounder tire shape for improved grip and safer handling through better sidewall support.
Without the hook to depress the tire, tires on GIANT's new Hookless rims can offer a distinct aerodynamic advantage. The transition from tire sidewall to rim is much smoother, saving valuable energy and significantly improving aerodynamics.
