Giant SLR 1 DISC 42mm Rear Wheel : Tubeless Ready Carbon Clincher

Season:2018

Brand:Giant

Code:350000134

You may not know this but Giant have - for a very long time - been manufacturing rims for a host of other wheel 'manufacturers'. These include the likes of Mavic, Campagnolo, Fulcrum and DT Swiss to name a few. It is the company's history of rim manufacture and long term relationship with DT Swiss that has been the catalyst in the decision to produce their own wheel systems, of which the SLR 1 Disc is one. 

Giant have come to the carbon wheel party not with another generic rim and hub combo with traditional lacing but rather a revised approach. Giant's knowledge of resin technology combined with their expertise working with carbon fibre and composite materials has been brought to bear in their wheel systems. You may be surprised to learn that Giant's reasonably priced SLR 0 range that uses the comapny's highest quality carbon fibre and best resin tech, is one of the lightest at the price point.

Throughout their range, Giant employ DT Swiss Hub internals for bearing housing and freehub engagement (Star Drive) so you can be sure that the quality of the hubs is impeccable. The hub shells are of Giant's own design (working with DT Swiss) to accommodate their own proprietary lacing technology. While this is traditional radial on the front, Giant have developed a proprietary lacing they call Dynamic Balanced Lacing for the rear, whereby there is not only different tension between drive and non-drive spokes but also between the 'Pushing' and 'Pulling' spokes on the Drive side itself. This Dynamic system allows for better transmission of the drive forces for greater balance, power transfer and longevity. 

Like all the carbon clincher wheels in the Giant range, the SLR 1 DISC are tubeless ready. Tubeless has been around for over a decade but is only now being more widely adopted as it has become simpler to produce both rims and tyres. Given the ease of fitting of Giant's own Gavia Race tubeless tyres - that require no tools to fit, it will be little bother to take advantage of the lower rolling resistance, greater comfort and reduced puncture risk of the tubeless system. This is of particular importance to Testers and Triathletes alike as well as those of us who just hate being stood at the side of the road getting our hands dirty!

The SLR 1 DISC wheels are a 'Goldilocks' 42mm depth for the best balance of aero advantage, low weight and stiffness for all-round riding; their depth offers benefits in the wind as they have a minimal effect on handling, keeping the bike where you point it. They are the ideal first-step upgrade for those currently running aero or carbon wheels. 

Giant's huge manufacturing capacity combined with years of rim manufacturing know-how and a lack of middle man in terms of distribution make the SLR 1 Disc (and indeed all of their wheels) exceptional value.

Made with ultralight composite rims, this pro-level mid-profile aero disc Wheel System is a great all-around weapon for sprinting to the podium or a solo attack on a ride in the mountains. The SLR 1 42 Disc is a fine balance between efficiency, control and durability in a stiff, lightweight and value-oriented package.
