Giant says that its tests demonstrate that the new TCR is significantly quicker than the previous version, saving 34secs over 40km (25 miles) at 200 watts of pedalling power. Giant has incorporated aerodynamic features on its TCR for the first time to minimised drag. It says that it achieved this, although both the Specialized and the Trek have since been updated. In developing the top-end TCR Advanced SL Disc, Giant set out to create a stiffness-to-weight ratio higher than that of three key rivals, the Specialized S-Works Tarmac Disc, Trek Emonda SLR Disc, and Cervelo R5 Disc. > Giant launches 2021 TCR Advanced – the “fastest TCR ever” TCR Advanced SL Starting at the top, these are TCR Advanced SL, TCR Advanced Pro and TCR Advanced. The main idea behind the redesign is that the TCR climbs as well as ever while being faster to descend and sprint.Īll the TCR models are made from carbon fibre (of differing grades), and they come in race geometries. Giant also says that the TCRs have been aero-optimised for the first time. Giant has given the TCR bikes a major redesign for the 2021 model year, saying that they are now lighter, stiffer than ever before, with the top-level Advanced SL models offering the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio in their class. The TCR Advanced models are performance road bikes that are designed to be lightweight, stiff and agile, roughly the equivalent of a Trek Emonda or Specialized Tarmac. This article refers to the range that Giant/Liv distributes in the UK, not to models available in other regions. Giant also has a women’s brand called Liv that offers an impressively large range. The TCR Advanced Pro Disc 1 has a higher spec than the TCR Advanced Pro Disc 2, for example, and the TCR Advanced Pro 0 Disc has a higher level again. The lower the number included in a bike name the higher the quality of the components. All of Giant's road bikes feature groupsets from Shimano and SRAM.
