The Giant TCR Advanced SL 0 Disc is an absolute speed machine and offers a thrilling ride but it's less comfortable than its top end competitors
Incredible fast
Fun and agile ride quality that'll have you sprinting everywhere
Great spec
Compact frame design is as superb as ever
Harsher than competitors

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
Weight (sub 7kg, size large)
It holds speed over flat and rolling ground well
Power transfer is similar to a dedicated aero bike
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
