Fully-loaded spec for Giant’s racing legend and our Performance Bike of the Year
Stunning looks
Ride and handling
Superb wheels
Being picky, I’d like 28mm tyres
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).

Impressive specs abound, but this one wins for a simpler reason.

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

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

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
