Description

Built to be even faster

Whether you’re climbing, cornering or launching an attack, this new carbon road racer is made for the moment. It’s lightweight, efficient and built for speed to give you a competitive edge in any situation. Newly integrated components such as the Contact AeroLight stem ensure a slimmer, more aerodynamic profile. The Variant seatpost offers just enough compliance for a balanced, race-ready ride, while the generous tire clearance (up to 33 mm) and smooth-rolling wheels ensure you’re fast on both smooth and bumpy roads.

Features of the Giant TCR ADVANCED 1 – Carbon Road Bike

• Streamlined tubeless ready carbon rims.
• Revised carbon aero tube design for a better stiffness-to-weight ratio than the previous generation.
• The oversized bottom bracket area has a fully integrated 86 mm wide profile.
• Symmetrical chainstays provide additional stiffness on the drive side and stability on the non-drive side.
• The Advanced Carbon fork has a symmetrical design and aerodynamic shape
• A generously dimensioned down tube and top tube ensure outstanding lateral and torsional stiffness of the front wheel.

Technologies of the Giant TCR Advanced 1

Advanced Composite Technology – GIANT’s high-performance carbon fiber is used to make this special carbon frame material, which is woven and processed in-house and has an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front frame triangle is molded as a single piece. The modified monocoque construction eliminates the outer braided composite layer. This reduces weight without compromising ride quality, stability or stiffness.

Compact Road Design – The Compact Road design was introduced by GIANT in the 1990s with the professional team ONCE and revolutionized the look of high-performance road bikes forever. A sloping top tube creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It makes it easier for riders of all sizes to get the perfect fit.

Tubeless System – Fewer punctures. Better traction. Less rolling resistance. GIANT’sTubeless System makes mounting easier and provides extra riding fun.
