Professional-grade raw carbon is woven in the Giant composite factory using the most advanced engineering and construction methods. Continuous Fiber Technology adds strength and minimizes weight.

TCR Advanced SL
THE TOTAL RACE BIKE
From hors categorie climbs to rollers and flats, this WorldTour level race bike is the pro’s choice for all-rounder performance. The all-new flagship TCR uses system integration and innovative construction methods to deliver a clear advantage on the road.
Facteurs de performance clés
OPTIMISATION DU SYSTÈME
Le cadre, les roues, le cockpit et les autres composantes ont été conçus, développés et testés ensemble pour fonctionner en tant que système complet. La toute nouvelle technologie de pivot de fourche OverDrive Aero est combinée avec une potence Contact SLR AeroLight et un guidon Contact SLR pour le routage des câbles à l’interne, intégrant le top cap, les câbles et les entretoises dans une configuration plus aérodynamique et conviviale.
EFFICACITÉ GAGNANTE
Doté d'un rapport rigidité-poids supérieur à la génération précédente, ainsi que de nouvelles formes de tubes aérodynamiques et d'un poids total plus léger, ce vélo de course sans compromis offre une accélération explosive et une rigidité de pédalage inébranlable. Le résultat est une performance gagnante au moment opportun.
AÉRODYNAMIQUE INTÉGRÉE
Toutes les formes de tubes ont été conçues et développées à l'aide de la modélisation par dynamique des fluides numérique (CFD) et de tests en soufflerie. De la forme d'ellipse tronquée des tubes du cadre à un nouveau design de cockpit et à l'intégration des composantes, tout se combine pour offrir un profil qui donne au cadre un avantage aérodynamique de 2,28 watts par rapport à la génération précédente.
ADVANCED SL COMPOSITE
ONE-PIECE MOLD
New construction technique uses a single bladder (as opposed to previous generation’s three bladders) to create a one-piece front triangle. The result is reduced weight without compromising stiffness or aerodynamic shaping.
TRUNCATED ELLIPSE TUBING
Strategically engineered airfoil sections in the frame and fork, developed through CFD and wind-tunnel testing, improve aerodynamic efficiency, reducing wind drag at a wide range of yaw angles compared to traditional teardrop shaped tubes.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Frame/handlebar/stem feature unique cable porting for sleek, non-cluttered appearance and easier adjustability.
FULL COMPOSITE FORK
Advanced SL-grade composite fork features a symmetric design and aero shaping, along with disc-brake integration and increased clearance for tires up to 33mm. This new design makes it lighter, stiffer and more aerodynamic.
AERODYNAMIC HANDLEBAR AND STEM
Lightweight handlebar and stem feature aero shaping including flat handlebar tops with raised edges to help riders maintain a stable aero position. Internal cable routing further improves aerodynamics while maintaining ease of setup and adjustment.
OVERDRIVE AERO
The D-shaped fork steerer tube and corresponding spacers provide an extremely aerodynamic, easy-to-service system of internally routed brake and derailleur cables.
INTEGRATED SEATPOST
Specifically engineered for competitive road racers, Variant’s refined shape and integrated design reduces weight, improves aero performance, and adds road-smoothing compliance.
MEGADRIVE
An oversized down tube and top tube provide superior front end lateral and torsional stiffness. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped down tube yields unprecedented steering precision and pedaling performance.
POWERCORE
The oversized bottom bracket area features a fully integrated 86mm wide design. Symmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
TUBELESS WHEELSYSTEM
Engineered with proprietary Dynamic Balanced Lacing and composite spokes, this tubeless ready composite WheelSystem delivers superior efficiency, comfort and control in the most user-friendly system.
DISC-BRAKE INTEGRATION
The frame and fork are engineered with flat-mount disc-brake technology for powerful, consistent braking performance in all conditions.
