Giant Rear Wheel SLR 0 50, 12 x 142 mm - Shimano HG

The SLR 0 50 is designed for riders who demand uncompromising speed, offering top-notch aerodynamics, highly efficient power transfer, and confident control under real conditions. A wind tunnel-tested 50 mm hookless rim, Super Aero carbon spokes, and a lightweight, highly rigid rim work together to ensure that every watt is converted into forward motion, while a wider internal profile and reinforced rim structure provide stability and precision at high speeds. The SLR 0 50 is developed for racing and optimised for the road, setting new standards as the lightest aero wheel in the Giant range.

Features:

• With a weight of 1410 g including tape and valves, the SLR 0 sets new standards as Giant's top aero wheel.
• The hookless rim design improves durability and allows for a greater internal rim width without additional weight.
• The optimised high-strength carbon layup uses material only where needed, providing an ideal balance between stiffness and low weight.
• The 50 mm high, hookless aero rim profile maximises aerodynamic efficiency at realistic side wind angles.
• Aero carbon spokes reduce lateral deformation, enabling efficient acceleration, better climbing ability, and improved stability in changing wind conditions.
• The dynamically balanced spoke arrangement (DBL) with larger spoke angles and balanced spoke tension under dynamic load improves torsional and lateral stiffness, ensuring excellent power transfer.
• Reinforced 3.8 mm rim beads increase stiffness for better cornering behaviour and improved durability.
• The internal rim width of 22.4 mm optimises the shape of higher volume tyres for improved traction, shock absorption, and safety.
• The low-friction hub with 40 teeth and precision-engineered internal parts minimises bearing load and rolling resistance for quicker engagement and reduced power loss.
