SWIFT AND SURE
The all-new SLR 0 & SLR 1 40 WheelSystems offer maximum all-day efficiency for climbing, sprinting, and descending. With wide and durable hookless rims, the SLR 0 and SLR 1 40s also offer confidence-inspiring handling, all at a super-light weight.
Highlights
1
Hookless Rim Design
2
OPTIMIZED CARBON LAY-UP
Optimized carbon layup features high-tensile strength carbon fiber placed at the most crucial points to provide stiff and lightweight wheels.
3
40MM RIM DEPTH
40mm hookless rim profile provides added aerodynamic advantage.
4
Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL)
Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) technology makes a stiffer, more efficient wheel with outstanding power transfer. The enlarged DBL hub flange increases spoke bracing angles, boosting overall transmission and lateral stiffness for better power transfer.
5
2.8MM RIM BEAD WIDTH
2.8mm rim bead width enhances rim stiffness for better tire support when cornering.
6
22.4MM INNER RIM WIDTH
Designed for high volume road tires, the 22.4mm wide inner rim width creates a larger tire contact patch, resulting in better traction and impact absorption for more confidence and control.
7
GIANT LOW-FRICTION HUB
Giant low-friction hub with precision machined internals eliminates excessive bearing load, reducing bearing friction and lowering rolling resistance to minimize power loss.
8
HIGH-TENSILE STRENGTH AERO SPOKES
High-tensile strength aero carbon spokes on both front and rear wheels of the SLR 0 40 reduce lateral flex for more effective acceleration and climbing.

Techs & Features
Dynamic Balanced Lacing
Since its introduction in 2015, Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) has been the cornerstone of Giant WheelSystems. DBL ensures that spokes are set for optimal tension when under dynamic load, resulting in enhanced durability and pedaling efficiency. The enlarged DBL hub flange also increases the spoke bracing angles, which boosts overall torsional/transmission and lateral stiffness for better power transfer and more stable sprinting.
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.
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.
