Summary
The Giant TCR is celebrated for its well-rounded ride quality, combining lightness, stiffness, and aerodynamic efficiency to create a competitive race bike. It offers a smooth yet responsive ride, with improvements in comfort and handling that cater to both climbing and descending. The inclusion of a power meter and high-quality wheelset in many builds adds value, though some note the bike's reach and front-end flex as minor drawbacks.

The tenth-generation TCR Advanced Pro delivers excellent performance with a lower weight and improved aerodynamics.
Mar 2024 · Alvin Holbrook
We go out to Taiwan to ride the new Giant TCR Advanced SL road bike, which weighs little as 6.4 kg complete. See pricing, specs, and more.
Aug 2021 · Simon Bromley
A fantastic all-round road bike that delivers in almost every area, but the hookless rims aren't for this tyre obsessive
Solid all-round spec for the price
32mm tyre clearance
Lively ride quality and confident handling
Hookless rims and 1¼in steerer limit aftermarket upgrade options
Jan 2021 · Dave Rome
There's a whole lot of value (and plenty to love) in this mid-tier racer.
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.
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).
Dec 2020 · Matthew Pioro
A three-way battle between lightness, stiffness and aerodynamics produces a finely balanced machine
Oct 2020 · Mat Brett
Exceptional all-round performance and well worth the money
Manoeuvrable
Lively
Strong all-round package
Partly external cables
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
Lighter than much of the competition
Great value wheelset
Excellent handling
External cable routing
Lack of aftermarket stems
Saddle may not be for everyone
