Built to go faster. Whether you’re climbing, cornering or launching an attack, this all-new composite road racer is made for that moment. Lightweight, efficient, and integrated for speed, it’s engineered to give you a competitive edge in every situation.
SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION
The frameset, wheels, cockpit and other parts were engineered, developed and tested together to perform as a system. The all-new Contact AeroLight stem allows for cable routing that 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) modeling 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 improves overall aero performance compared to the previous generation.
MADE FASTER
Newly integrated components including the Contact AeroLight stem create a sleeker, more aero profile. The Variant seatpost adds just enough compliance for a balanced, race-tuned feel on the road, while generous tire clearance (up to 33mm) and compliant wheels keep you rolling with speed on smooth or bumpy roads.
Powercore
A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter wide bottom-bracket design (92-millimeter wide for off-road bikes). Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
More InfoTubeless System
Whether you’re cornering in a crit, climbing technical singletrack or cruising through the city, you'll be free to ride without worrying about your bike's tires on your next adventure.
More InfoAdvanced SL Composite Technology
Professional Grade raw carbon fiber 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.
More InfoCompact Road Design
The world's first Compact Road frame is introduced and ridden by the ONCE ProTour team. With a dramatically sloping toptube and a compact rear triangle, the new design increases rigidity, improves handling and reduces weight. ONCE rider Joseba Beloki will ride the Giant TCR (Total Compact Road) to two Tour de France podiums.
