Giant CXR1 Disc Gravel Wheels Description:
Giant CXR1 Disc Gravel Wheels are lightweight and rugged wheels designed for larger volume road bike tires and gravel bike tires. The hookless disc specific rims are made using an advanced carbon fiber construction to eliminate bends in the carbon fiber strands which removes unnecessary material, while leaving a reinforced sidewall that allow these lightweight rims to rival's a mountain bike rim for impact resistance, stiffness, and overall strength. The hookless inner rim shape also provides excellent support for the sidewalls on larger volume tires, and the inner rim width and profile increases the tire's air volume which will provide better rider comfort, improved flat prevention, and the tire will 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 Bladed Sapim CX-Ray stainless steel spokes with lightweight alloy nipples, and these wheels lace those spokes up using Giant's Dynamic Balanced Lacing Pattern to boost lateral stiffness and improve aerodynamics, and at the same time reduce the rotational weight for wheels 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 DTSwiss 350 internals, including the proven 54t Ratchet System 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 light and strong wheelset that are a great upgrade for any gravel racing bike or for a lightweight adventure rig.
Features:
- Advanced carbon fiber construction creates a rugged rim that removes unnecessary material to reduce the weight
- 35mm deep disc brake specific rim with a hookless 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 width will work best for tires between 30 - 45mm in width
- Bladed Sapim CX-Ray stainless steel spokes boast incredibly high tensile strength and stiffness, and an aerodynamic profile helps the wheel to slice through the air
- Dynamic Balanced Lacing produces stiff, efficient wheel with top-level power transfer
- Giant centerlock disc compatible alloy hub shells are filled with DTSwiss 350 internals, including the proven 54t Ratchet System in the rear wheel, for low rolling resistance, quick rear hub engagement, and minimal required maintenance
- Each wheel will include rim tape and a tubeless valve kit
