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.


KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS

SYSTEM OPTIMISATION
The frame, fork and integrated seatpost are engineered, developed and tested to perform as a system. The fork features a D-shaped steerer tube with corresponding spacers that, in addition to improving aerodynamics, also allows the cables to be internally routed through the handlebars, stem and frame/fork for a cleaner profile. And the signature ISP saves 40g while also adding road smoothing compliance and further improving its aero performance.

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.

MADE FASTER
This pro-level frameset is designed for competitive road riders who obsess over performance. Its legendary ride quality, system integration and innovative construction methods make it more efficient than ever. The down tube is redesigned over the previous generation for improved aerodynamics. And the integrated seatpost reduces weight, improves aero performance, and adds road-smoothing compliance.


HIGHLIGHTS

ADVANCED SL COMPOSITE
Professional-grade raw carbon is woven in the Giant composite factory using the most advanced engineering and construction methods. Continuous Fiber Technology adds strength and minimizes weight.

ONE-PIECE MOLD
New construction technique uses a single bladder (as opposed to previous generation's three bladders) to create a one-piece front triangle. The result is reduced weight without compromising stiffness or aerodynamic shaping.

TRUNCATED ELLIPSE TUBING
Strategically engineered airfoil sections in the frame and fork, developed through CFD and wind-tunnel testing, improve aerodynamic efficiency, reducing wind drag at a wide range of yaw angles compared to traditional teardrop shaped tubes.

INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Frame/handlebar/stem feature unique cable porting for sleek, non-cluttered appearance and easier adjustability.

FULL COMPOSITE FORK
Advanced SL-grade composite fork features a symmetric design and aero shaping, along with disc-brake integration and increased clearance for tires up to 33mm. This new design makes it lighter, stiffer and more aerodynamic.

OVERDRIVE AERO
The D-shaped fork steerer tube and corresponding spacers provide an extremely aerodynamic, easy-to-service system of internally routed brake and derailleur cables.

INTEGRATED SEATPOST
Specifically engineered for competitive road racers, Variant's refined shape and integrated design reduces weight, improves aero performance, and adds roadsmoothing compliance.

MEGADRIVE
An oversized down tube and top tube provide superior front end lateral and torsional stiffness. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped down tube yields unprecedented steering precision and pedaling performance.

POWERCORE
The oversized bottom bracket area features a fully integrated 86mm wide design. Symmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
