Giant SLR 1 Disc Rear Wheel

Because this wheel uses a hookless rim design, you must adhere to the maximum tire pressure limit of 72.5 psi (5 bar). Always ensure you are using tubeless-ready tires that are compatible with hookless rims to maintain a safe and secure bead seat.

This specific wheel comes with a Shimano HG freehub body, which is compatible with standard Shimano and SRAM 10/11-speed cassettes. If you are running a SRAM XDR drivetrain, you will need to purchase a separate XDR freehub body to make the wheel compatible.

While the 65mm depth is optimized for aerodynamic efficiency and speed, it can be more sensitive to strong crosswinds compared to shallower rims. Most riders find that the stability provided by the modern, wider rim profile helps mitigate this, but it is something to keep in mind if you frequently ride in very gusty conditions.

Yes, but you must use tubeless-ready tires even if you choose to install an inner tube. The hookless design requires a tire with a specific bead construction to ensure it stays securely seated on the rim.

DBL is designed to balance spoke tension while the wheel is under load, rather than just when it is static. This results in a wheel that feels stiffer and more responsive during hard accelerations and cornering, as the tension remains consistent while you are actually pedaling.

No, the wheel does not include a thru-axle. You should use the 142x12mm thru-axle that came with your bicycle frame to ensure proper fitment and compatibility.
