Placing high-tensile strength carbon fiber at only the most crucial points on the rim and testing through Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Giant’s engineers have managed to build a lightweight gravel wheel with superior strength and durability.
{{ product.ProductAward.Quote }}
The all-new CXR 2 gravel WheelSystem showcases Giant’s prowess in building strong, lightweight carbon wheels. Through improved carbon layup, innovative hookless technology and a large inner rim width that allows for wider tires and lower pressures, the CXR 2 is as strong as our XCR cross-country mountain bike wheel but clocks in at a much lighter weight.

Technologies & 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.
Tubeless System
Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.
