Giant SLR 2 Disc Wheelsystem Rear Wheel

The hookless design requires you to use tubeless-ready tires that are compatible with hookless rims. Because the rim walls are straight rather than hooked, you get a wider internal width that supports higher-volume tires, which improves stability and allows for lower tire pressures.

The hub is versatile and compatible with Shimano 11-speed, SRAM XDR 12-speed, and Campagnolo systems. You will need to ensure you have the correct freehub body installed for your specific drivetrain.

The 36mm profile is designed to be a 'do-it-all' depth. It is shallow enough to remain stable and predictable in shifting wind conditions, yet deep enough to offer an aerodynamic advantage over standard box-section rims.

While the rim is tubeless-ready and designed to perform best as a tubeless setup, you can use inner tubes as long as the tires you select are specifically approved for use with hookless rims.

The Giant SLR 2 Disc rear wheel is rated for a maximum rider weight of 129 kg (approximately 284 lbs), making it a robust option for a wide range of cyclists.

No, this wheel is designed for a 142x12mm thru-axle standard, but the axle itself is typically provided by your bicycle frame or fork manufacturer, not the wheelset.
