The TRX 1s are available aftermarket as well as on Giant’s more expensive complete bikes. Their medium width and very stiff feel mean they’ll suit more XC-orientated riders best. Tubeless tape and valves are supplied but need careful DIY fitting, and the 26mm internal width means they’re best suited to 2.4in or narrower tyres. That compounds the already extremely stiff feel of the carbon rim to create a precise ride that often strays into harshness. They do feel taut under power though, and the rims are relatively light compared to most alloy hoops, so they accelerate quicker than most wheels of a similar weight. The DT Swiss-based hubs are reliable in all weathers and easy to self-service if needed, but if you do crack a rim on a rock, the replacement cost is much higher than with alloy hoops.
