Gearing

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

2021 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 Disc review: detail-driven and race-ready - CyclingTips

Jan 2021 · Dave Rome

There's a whole lot of value (and plenty to love) in this mid-tier racer.

Highs
  • Well-rounded attitude and ride quality, low weight, simple servicing, included power meter, wheelset quality, new Fleet saddle, a lot of bike for the money.

Lows
  • Reach (including stock stem) on the long side, some flex in front-centre of frame, compatibility issues of hookless rims, thru-axle handle rattles, press-fit bottom bracket (although Giant do theirs with great tolerances).

Giant TCR Advanced Pro Disc 1

Aug 2020 · Vern Pitt

We tested out the Ultegra equipped TCR Advanced Pro Disc 1, and held it in higher regard than the pricier TCR SL

Highs
  • Lighter than much of the competition

  • Great value wheelset

  • Excellent handling

Lows
  • External cable routing

  • Lack of aftermarket stems

  • Saddle may not be for everyone

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
