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.

Giant TCX Advanced SX review

Dec 2017 · Marc Abbott

A solid carbon-framed off-road performer but if you want speed we'd suggest a change of wheels

Highs
  • Good components

  • Own brand finishing kit and wheels do their jobs well

  • Handles beautifully
