10% lighter than the previous SLS4 generation
15% more controlled vertical compliance for enhanced ride dynamics
Increased resistance to lateral loads and vertical impacts
Better vibration filtering for improved comfort and control
-
SLR2 (Super Light Road Series 2)
Road / Gravel
An exclusive manufacturing process optimized for the demands of road and gravel riding
Aerospace-grade resin and optimized carbon fiber lay-up
Up to 10% lighter and stronger than the previous SLR1 version
Tuned vertical compliance for more comfort and responsiveness
-
SpokeCore
All disciplines
Molded spoke holes that eliminate the need for drilling
Preserves carbon fiber integrity
Reinforces the structure
Allows for precise control of vertical and lateral stiffness
Reduced weight and increased reliability
-
VFP (Varnish Free Process)
All disciplines
A varnish-free finish process
Reduces VOC emissions and carbon dust during production
More scratch-resistant surface
Naturally glossy finish
Proprietary Technologies
-
DRC (Dynamic Response Comfort)
All disciplines
Controlled vertical flex and rebound
More dynamic handling during weight transfers and bermed corners
Increased comfort on rough terrain
Reduced energy loss, more speed and efficiency -
ImpactGuard
MTB
Integrated energy-absorbing inserts
Absorbs both low and high-intensity impacts
No added weight
Fully integrated into the rim structure to increase durability -
AERO
Road / Gravel
Aerodynamic optimization through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)
Optimized tire-to-rim transition to reduce aerodynamic drag
Greater stability in crosswinds
Compatible with wide tires without compromising rolling efficiency -
AntiPinch
Gravel / MTB
Anti-pinch rim bead design
Prevents tire cuts from hard impacts
Dissipates shock energy
Allows low-pressure riding without pinch-flat risks -
AntiBurp
MTB
Anti-burp and anti-debeading system
Specially designed inner rim hooks lock the tire beads securely
Eliminates air loss under heavy cornering or compression
Prevents tire debeading, even in the event of a puncture -
6TERS
MTB
Differentiated internal rim widths for the front and rear wheels
Wider front rim increases grip, handling, and control
Narrower rear rim for better strength, stability, and efficiency
Developed in partnership with leading XC race teams
Functional Designs
-
Hookless
MTB
Hookless rim design
Lighter than traditional hooked rims
Increases the tire’s internal air volume, boosting comfort and grip at lower pressures
Proven DUKE technology since 2011 -
Hooked
Road / Gravel
Hooked rim design
Optimized for road and gravel tire pressures
Ensures secure bead retention
Wider internal width offers aerodynamic benefits -
Offset
All disciplines
Asymmetrical spoke lacing
Balances spoke tension on both sides
Improves lateral stiffness, stability, and long-term durability
No added weight -
Optimized Internal Width
All disciplines
Maximizes tire volume and performance
Enables lower pressures without sacrificing rolling efficiency
Controls tire deformation for greater stability
Improves control and comfort on all terrains -
Tubeless Ready
All disciplines
Tubeless-compatible rim design
