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

  • Lighter than much of the competition

  • Great value wheelset

  • Excellent handling

Lows

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
