Winning race bikes have just the right balance of light weight, superior stiffness and smooth compliance on the road. TCR Advanced delivers on all three.

The superlight composite frame is handcrafted with race-proven geometry and asymmetrical chainstays for optimal power transfer. The D-Fuse composite seatpost helps smooth out bumps and vibrations, and you also have the option to use a 30.9mm round standard or dropper seatpost. Other innovations include a lightweight composite WheelSystem and tubeless tires right out of the box. The flat-mount disc brakes and 12mm front and rear thru-axles deliver total control and fast cornering, sprinting and climbing in all conditions.

Features

• Class-leading efficiency: A high stiffness-to-weight ratio combined with strategically placed aero tube shaping results in faster climbing, explosive acceleration and unyielding pedalling stiffness for race-winning performance.
• Advanced aerodynamics: This is where the TCR’s most quantifiable gains can be found compared to previous generation models. Every tube shape was analysed, engineered and tested to create an overall structure with significantly lower drag at a wider range of yaw angles.
• Total control: A composite fork delivers torsional stiffness for sharp handling and steering precision, while a Giant WheelSystem with tubeless technology allows you to run lower tyre pressures for increased grip and a reduced risk of punctures.

• Weight: The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
