The new SLR 1 50 Disc WheelSystem combines aerodynamic efficiency and minimised power loss in a lightweight package designed for versatile road performance. The SLR 1 50 features 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 tyres along with enhanced sidewall stiffness for better grip and cornering.
Highlights
1
Hookless Technology
2
Aero Efficiency
Wind-tunnel-proven 50mm Hookless Aero Rim Profile provides a maximum aerodynamic advantage
3
Dynamic Balanced Lacing
Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) technology makes a stiffer, more efficient wheel as a wider hub flange increases spoke bracing angles for outstanding power transmission
4
Low friction hub
Low friction hub with precision machined internals eliminates excessive bearing load, reducing bearing friction, lowering rolling resistance and minimizing power loss

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.
Dynamic Balanced Lacing
Engineered with more leverage on the “pulling” spoke and less on the “pushing” spoke, DBL technology maximises the performance of the wheel while it’s in a dynamic state by forming a perfect balance of spoke tension to deliver optimal transmission stiffness and braking performance.
Low Friction Hub
Giant uses precision machined internals to eliminate the power loss that occurs through the pressure from the hub internals on the bearings, reducing friction and minimizing rolling resistance.
