Giant TCR Advanced SL 1 2025 - Road Bike
Advanced Grade Composite Frame
The TCR range is built up with two different frames. Giant uses two grades of composites; Advanced SL and Advanced. Both use advanced composite technology and feature both professional and high-performance grade carbon which provides a lightweight, stiff and compliant frameset for road cyclists and racers.
Overdrive Aero
The head tube has gone through a slimming process to enhance aerodynamics in the crucial frontal area. And the fork has a new crown and leg shape that was developed in conjunction with the down tube of the frameset, which also features new tubing shapes for improved air flow. This improved air flow makes this new frameset 12 watts faster than the previous generation.
Integrated Aerodynamics
With its new D-shaped steerer, matching spacers allow for cables, hoses and wires to be internally routed through the handlebars, stem and frame for a cleaner profile. This keeps cables hidden from the wind and more importantly out of sight, out of mind.
Increased Stiffness
The TCR now features an oversized bottom bracket area with a fully integrated 86mm wide design. This vastly improves the bikes stiffness and power transfer. And an oversized downtube and toptube provide lateral and torsional stifness for a responsive and comfortable ride.
Streamlined Cockpit
The TCR now has an updated cockpit which includes internal cabling routing, flattened tops and slightly flared drops which allow for a more streamlined shape and confident control on fast corners and descents. The new Contact SLR AeroLight and Contact SL AeroLight stems used in the TCR range are designed exclusively for the OverDrive Aero system.
