Giant CXR X1 Disc Gravel Wheels Description:
Giant CXR X1 Disc Gravel Wheels are lightweight and rugged wheels that will bring additional ride compliance to a gravel bike, especially when tackling rough, technical terrain. The shallow hookless disc specific rims are made using an advanced carbon fiber construction to eliminate bends in the carbon fiber and remove unnecessary material, while leaving a reinforced sidewall that give these lightweight rims enough impact resistance, stiffness, and overall strength that they can handle the stresses of a cross country mountain bike course. The hookless inner rim shape also provides excellent support for the sidewalls on larger volume tires, and the generous inner rim width increases the tire's air volume which will provide better rider comfort, improved flat prevention, and allow the tire to stay glued to the ground better over rough surfaces and through corners for more predictable traction and bike control. Connecting the hubs to these incredible rims are 24 Double Butted Sapim Laser stainless steel spokes with lightweight alloy nipples, and these wheels lace those spokes up using Giant's Dynamic Balanced Lacing Pattern to create a laterally stiff but vertically compliant wheel with snappy acceleration and less mass to push up hills.
As for the hubs, the hub shells are a proprietary Giant Centerlock Disc design crafted out of lightweight alloy. Filling these hub shells are sealed cartridge bearings and a chromoly 60t ratchet style freehub in the rear wheel, for low rolling resistance, quick rear hub engagement, and minimal required maintenance. When you combine these hubs, spokes, and rims together, the result is a comfortable, light, strong, and versatile wheelset that are a great upgrade for any gravel bike.
Features:
- Advanced carbon fiber construction creates a rugged rim that removes unnecessary material to reduce the weight, and shallow disc specific rim profile with 25.8mm rim height adds vertical compliance
- Hookless rim design allows for lower tire pressures to be run for better grip through corners, a smoother ride, and improved flat prevention
- Generous 25mm inner rim width offers better support for higher volume tires, and this rim is optimized for tires between 38 - 52mm in width (or up to a 2.3" mountain bike tire)
- Double Butted Sapim Laser stainless steel spokes reduce weight, help with compliance, and boast incredible tensile strength
- Dynamic Balanced Lacing produces stiff, efficient wheel with top-level power transfer
- Giant centerlock disc compatible alloy hub shells have sealed cartridge bearings and a Chromoly 60t ratchet style freehub in the rear wheel, for low rolling resistance, quick rear hub engagement, and minimal required maintenance
