Cycling WeeklyIt has the weight and handling of a pure climber yet also the aggression of an aero road bike, all while having the tyre clearance to make it an all-day cruiser.
CyclistThe Giant TCR remains a fantastic all-round race bike, even if it’s no longer a cutting-edge design.

Handles with exquisite poise, a bike that's brutally quick to accelerate with a dream-machine specification
Light, stiff, responsive – the new TCR has it all
Some may not like the exposed brake hoses
I’d prefer 28mm tyres

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
