2021 Giant TCR Advanced SL 0 Disc Mens Road Bike - Matte Raw Carbon

A legend reborn. The bike that has been at the leading edge of road racing innovation for decades has been redesigned to be even lighter, stiffer and more aerodynamic. It’s the ultimate all-rounder for the performance obsessed.

The TCR Advanced SL Disc has been updated and improved in all aspects of road racing performance. It achieves a stiffness-to-weight ratio for faster climbing and sprinting that was previously unobtainable, and features new aerodynamic gains for all-around efficiency. It is the go-to race bike for CCC Team World Tour Racers like Greg Van Avermaet on challenging road courses that demand uncompromised performance when riding to win. New aerodynamic tube shaping on the headtube, downtube and fork makes it relentless on breakaways, sprints and solo chases. The new TCR Advanced SL Disc also builds on its proven climbing capabilities, boasting the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio ever seen in a TCR. Additional key updates include added clearance in the frame and fork to fit larger diameter tyres up to 32mm, the latest integrated WheelSystem technology, and a new aero-engineered Contact SLR composite handlebar to make it even faster against the wind.

Class-leading efficiency

With the highest pedalling stiffness-to-weight ratio of any bike in its class and updated aero tube shaping, this frameset is engineered to give Giant pro road racers superior climbing capabilities, aerodynamic efficiency and sprint stiffness for race-winning performance.

Advanced aerodynamics

This is where the TCR’s most quantifiable gains can be found compared to previous generation models. Every tube shape was analysed, 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

Integrated disc brakes deliver smooth, powerful stopping power and modulation for added control in variable weather and road conditions. Flat mounts and new thru-axles boost stiffness and improve overall handling, while added frame and fork clearance allows for larger diameter tyres up 32mm.

This performance race bicycle is the result of a collaboration between Giant engineers, product developers, leading aerodynamics experts and some of today's top professional racers. Whilst the TCR has constantly pushed the limits of performance as a controversial race bike with a compact geometry and radically different look to other race bikes, and has been a staple in the pro peleton since 1998, earning wins at major races around the world for more than 20 years, the team took on the challenge to make it more efficient. The new TCR has been proven to be significantly more aerodynamic than its previous iteration, and maintains its best-in-class stiffness-to-weight ratio. Every tube shape has been modified to reduce drag without adding weight or compromising the qualities that have made it a leading pro-level race bike.
