Giant TCR Advanced SL 0 review

Jun 2020 · Josh Croxton

The latest race bike from Giant claims to offer class-leading aerodynamics, weight and stiffness. We take a look at how that translates to real-world riding

Highs
  • Weight (sub 7kg, size large)

  • It holds speed over flat and rolling ground well

  • Power transfer is similar to a dedicated aero bike

Lows
  • Handling confidence takes time to build

  • The integrated seatpost makes flying with the TCR difficult, but not impossible

  • No Shimano builds available at Advanced SL level

Apr 2020 · Dan Cavallari

Giant's new TCR Advanced SL 0 Disc makes the case that the era of aero-only bikes is coming to an end. This all-rounder incorporates aero shaping into an astonishingly light and lithe ride.
