Giant TCR Advanced SL Frameset | Giant Bicycles Schweiz

From hors categorie climbs to rollers and flats, this WorldTour level race bike is the pro’s choice for all-rounder performance. The all-new flagship TCR uses system integration and innovative construction methods to deliver a clear advantage on the road.

facteurs clés de performance

SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION

The frame, fork and integrated seatpost are engineered, developed and tested to perform as a system. The fork features a D-shaped steerer tube with corresponding spacers that, in addition to improving aerodynamics, also allows the cables to be internally routed through the handlebars, stem and frame/fork for a cleaner profile. And the signature ISP saves 40g while also adding road smoothing compliance and further improving its aero performance.

WINNING EFFICIENCY

Featuring a greater stiffness-to-weight ratio than the previous generation, along with new aero tube shaping and a lighter overall weight, this uncompromising race bike delivers explosive acceleration and unyielding pedaling stiffness. The result is race-winning performance in the moments that count.

INTEGRATED AERODYNAMICS

From the truncated ellipse shape of frameset tubing to a new cockpit design and component integration, it all adds up to a more streamlined profile that helps give the flagship TCR Advanced SL 0 model a 4.19-watt advantage over the previous generation.

MADE FASTER

This pro-level road bike is made for competitive road riders who obsess over performance—from grand tour pros like Simon Yates to everyday riders trying to reach a new level. The flagship TCR model combines its legendary ride quality with new system integration and construction methods to make it more efficient than ever. The down tube is significantly redesigned for improved aerodynamics, and a new integrated cockpit, including the OverDrive Aero steerer tube and Contact SLR AeroLight stem, offers internal cable routing to further minimize drag. From the integrated seatpost to the CADEX WheelSystem with 40mm deep carbon rims, every component is chosen and tested for system optimization.

Technologie

ADVANCED COMPOSITE SL

Les fibres de carbone haute performance de Giant sont tissées au sein de notre usine de composite selon nos méthodes de conception et de fabrication les plus avancées, parmi lesquelles : notre technologie de fibre composite unidirectionnelle qui renforce le matériau tout en l’allégeant ; notre résine composite nano technologique pour améliorer la résistance aux chocs ; et notre procédé d’assemblage par fusion pour des jonctions de cadre plus légères et résistantes.

COMPACT ROAD DESIGN

Lors de sa présentation par Giant dans les années 1990 avec le Team Once, le design Compact Road a durablement révolutionné les sensations ainsi que l’apparence des vélos de route haute performance. Un tube supérieur incliné (de la douille de direction au tube de selle) forme de plus petits triangles avant et arrière, pour un vélo plus léger et rigide. Ce design permet également aux cyclistes de toutes tailles de trouver plus facilement l’ajustement parfait.

TIGE DE SELLE INTÉGRÉE

Considérée comme un facteur clé de performance, la tige de selle intégrée permet d’alléger le vélo de 45 grammes par rapport à une tige de selle en composite standard, tout en améliorant l’aérodynamisme et en apportant une souplesse capable d’amortir les vibrations sur route.

OverDrive Aero

Found inside the head tube of the Defy, Propel and TCR ranges, the D-shaped fork steerer tube and corresponding spacers provide an extremely aerodynamic, easier to service system of internally routed brake and derailleur cables.
