From hors categorie climbs to rollers and flats, this WorldTour level race bike is the pro’s choice for all-rounder performance. The all-new flagship TCR uses system integration and innovative construction methods to deliver a clear advantage on the road.

System Optimisation

• The frameset, wheels, cockpit and other parts are engineered, developed and tested together to perform best as a system.
• The all-new OverDrive Aero steerer tube technology is combined with a Contact SLR AeroLight stem and Contact SLR handlebar to incorporate internal cable routing that also integrates the top cap, cables and spacers in a more aerodynamic, user-friendly setup.

Winning Efficiency

• Featuring a greater stiffness-to-weight ratio than the previous generation, along with new aero tube shaping and a lighter overall weight, this uncompromising race bike delivers explosive acceleration and unyielding pedalling stiffness.
• The result is race-winning performance in the moments that count.

Integrated Aerodynamics

• From the truncated ellipse shape of frameset tubing to a new cockpit design and component integration, it all adds up to a more streamlined profile that helps give the flagship TCR Advanced SL 0 model a 4.19-watt advantage over the previous generation.

Technologies

Advanced SL Composite Technology

• Professional Grade raw carbon fibre is woven in our composite factory to produce our lightest, stiffest and highest quality frames.
• This is the technology used by Giant’s pro racers in almost every cycling discipline.

Compact Road Design

• Introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE in the 1990s, Compact Road revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever.
• A downward sloping toptube (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike.
• It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit.

Tubeless System

• Fewer flat tyres.
• Greater traction.
• Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride.
• Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.

OverDrive Aero

• Found inside the head tube of the Defy, Propel and TCR ranges, the D-shaped fork steerer tube and corresponding spacers provide an extremely aerodynamic, easier to service system of internally routed brake and derailleur cables.

PowerCore

• A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimetre wide bottom-bracket design (92-millimetre wide for off-road bikes).
• Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.

Integrated Seatpost

• Designed as a key performance factor in the overall frameset, the integrated seatpost saves up to 40 grams compared to standard composite posts, while improving aerodynamics and adding road-smoothing compliance.
