Giant TCR Advanced SL Frameset

From high alpine roads to grueling classics races, this is the choice for ultralight weight, super-stiff pedalling
transmission and aero efficiency. Re-engineered to climb, corner and descend with uncompromising all-rounder
speed, the all-new TCR Advanced SL is the winning choice.

Features

• Class-leading efficiency: New cutting-edge composite materials, reengineered tubing shapes and advanced
  robotic layup techniques result is a livelier ride quality, explosive acceleration and improved climbing
  efficiency with outstanding torsional frame stiffness.
• Advanced aerodynamics: This is where the TCR’s most quantifiable gains can be found compared to previous
  generation models. Every tube shape was analyzed, engineered and tested to create an overall structure
  with significantly lower drag at a wider range of yaw angles. The result is a TCR that’s faster than
  ever in sprints and solo situations.
• Total control: From composite WheelSystems with greater crosswind stability to user-friendly tubeless tire
  setups, this new TCR delivers greater control in a wide variety of road conditions. An all-new composite
  fork boasts impressive torsional stiffness.

Technologies

• Advanced 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.
• Compact Road Design: Introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE in the 1990s, Compact Road
  revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping toptube
  (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer
  bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit.
• Integrated Seatpost: Designed as a key performance factor in the overall frameset, the integrated seatpost
  saves up to 45 grams compared to standard composite posts, while improving aerodynamics and adding
  road-smoothing compliance.
• MegaDrive: A massive rectangular downtube and oversized toptube work in unison to provide superior front end
  lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped downtube yields
  unprecedented steering and pedaling stiffness.
• OverDrive 2: The most advanced steerer tube technology in today’s Giant bikes. Designed to offer
  unprecedented front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2″ lower, 1
  1/4″ upper) and tapered steerer tube work in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness.
• 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.
• RideSense Ready: This frame comes prepared to accept the Giant RideSense sensor and accompanying hardware.
