Discover the Giant TCR road race bike range, engineered for speed, agility, and comfort. Featuring advanced aerodynamics, lightweight design, and top-tier components for unparalleled road cycling performance.

When it comes to road racing, having a high-quality, lightweight, and aerodynamic bike is essential. That's why the Giant TCR line is a top choice for serious riders who are looking for a podium-worthy performance.

Is the Giant TCR Road Bike the right  bike for you?

So, who is the ideal rider for this bike? Simply put, it's for those who want to go fast and push their limits. Whether you're a seasoned racer or an aspiring one, the TCR Advanced Pro Disc 0 AR is a machine that can take you to the next level. Its stiff and responsive frame is designed to efficiently transfer your pedaling power to the road, making it an ideal choice for sprinting and climbing. Additionally, its advanced aerodynamics provide you with an extra edge in windy conditions, making it easier to cut through the air and reach higher speeds.

What sets the Giant TCR Advanced Road Bike apart

But what makes the Giant TCR Advanced Pro Disc 0 AR different from other road bikes? Let's take a closer look at some of the features that make this bike stand out:

CUTTING-EDGE COMPOSITE MATERIAL

To make the TCR Advanced SL frameset both lighter and stiffer, we create proprietary composite materials from premium raw carbon fiber in our own production facility. Advanced SL-grade composite sheet material, custom woven in Giant’s own manufacturing facility, is used throughout 80 percent of the overall structure to produce a lighter overall frame and fork weight without sacrificing stiffness.

COLD BLADE CUTTING

Whereas previous generations of TCR frames relied on laser-cut composite swatches, cold blade technology is now used to make ultra-precise cuts and eliminate the concern of deformation from excess heat. This translates into fewer (270) and more exacting swatches, which results in lighter overall frame weight.

ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES

The TCR Advanced SL frameset features one-piece mold technology, an entirely new process that uses a single inner bladder (as opposed to the previous generation’s three bladders) to create a one-piece front triangle. The result is lighter overall frame weight without compromising stiffness or aerodynamic shaping.

SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION

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 pedaling stiffness. The result is race-winning performance in the moments that count.

INTEGRATED AERODYNAMICS

All tube shapes were engineered and developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind-tunnel testing. 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 gives the frameset a 2.28-watt aero advantage over the previous generation.

Overall, the Giant TCR is a true racing machine that offers class-leading efficiency, advanced aerodynamics, and total control. Whether you're competing in a local criterium or tackling a challenging climb, this bike is sure to help you achieve your best performance yet. So, if you're ready to take your road racing to the next level, it's time to get on the Giant TCR Advanced.  Come on down to Bicycle Warehouse and see for yourself why the Giant Trance Advanced it is an outstanding bike that offers high performance, excellent value for money, and a range of features that are not easy to find at the same price point.
