It's built for climbing, long mountain days and daily training on mixed terrain. For many riders it's the first carbon wheel upgrade from heavier stock wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe SLR 2 36 Disc pairs a \u003cstrong\u003e36mm rim depth\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003e22.4mm inner width\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it suits the wider tires most road riders now use. The 36mm profile is shallow enough to stay stable in variable crosswinds, which matters on exposed descents and ridgelines. Giant's optimized carbon layup puts high tensile strength fiber where the wheel needs stiffness, saving weight elsewhere. With a \u003cstrong\u003e285 lb \/ 129 kg system weight limit\u003c\/strong\u003e and a 2-year warranty, it's built for regular training, not only race days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders upgrading a \u003cstrong\u003edisc-brake road bike\u003c\/strong\u003e from stock alloy wheels to a lighter carbon wheelset\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClimbers and riders who do \u003cstrong\u003elong mountain rides\u003c\/strong\u003e where wheel weight matters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaily trainers who want one carbon wheelset for \u003cstrong\u003evariable terrain\u003c\/strong\u003e and mixed conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders running \u003cstrong\u003ewider, higher-volume road tires\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsider a different wheel if you want a deep-section aero rim for flat, fast courses, or if your bike uses rim brakes or quick-release axles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAxle and rotor fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wheels need \u003cstrong\u003e12x100mm front and 12x142mm rear thru-axles\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCenterlock\u003c\/strong\u003e disc rotors.
