TCX Advanced Pro
Conquer All Conditions
In pro cyclocross racing, every advantage counts. Fast starts, tight corners, efficiency and control through dirt, sand and mud. Proven by top World Cup pros for years, the legendary TCX gets a reboot this year with some key updates to make it faster and smoother than ever.
Key Performance Factors
Lighter and more efficient
Advanced-grade composite frameset is 17.5 percent lighter than the previous generation. The frame is now 850g versus 1050g, and the fork is 400g versus 460g. Frame and fork torsional/pedaling stiffness remain the same.
Total control
Integrated disc brake technology with flat mounts and thru-axle hubs, combined with tubeless ready Giant WheelSystem, delivers added control in variable conditions and all types of weather.
Smooth ride quality
D-Fuse composite seatpost helps absorb bumps and vibrations, and new this year is the option to switch to a standard 30.9 round or dropper post depending on your riding style and terrain. Most Advanced Pro models come with a new full-carbon D-Fuse SLR sea
Highlights
With a reengineered Advanced-grade composite frameset that’s significantly lighter than the previous version, the new TCX Advanced Pro offers a smooth, responsive ride quality and high-performance frame stiffness that makes it quick and agile between the tape. From flat-out cyclocross racing to mixed road riding, it’s the smoothest, fastest TCX yet.
1
Advanced Composite Technology
High-performance grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.
2
Cyclocross Specific Tubing
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used to create tube shapes that enhance the performance and ride quality for cyclocross racing including a flattened and smoothed toptube shape for easier shouldering.
3
OverDrive 2
The most advanced steerer tube technology in today’s Giant bikes. Designed to offer unprecedented front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2” lower, 1 1/4” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness.
4
Internal Cable Routing
Integrated ports and a tool-free bottom bracket guide in the frameset make cable installation easier. The internal routing of cables saves weight and creates a cleaner look and performance.
5
D-Fuse Seatpost
Most TCX Advanced Pro models come with a new D-Fuse SLR seatpost that’s 20 percent more compliant than the existing D-Fuse SL.
6
Invisible Seatpost Clamp
New frame design allows you to switch from the proprietary D-Fuse seatpost to a standard round 30.9mm seatpost. This enables riders to choose any type of seatpost, including a dropper seatpost, depending on riding style and terrain.
7
Modified Monocoque Construction
Eliminates the outermost woven composite sheet (found on heavier framesets) to reduce weight without affecting ride quality, strength or stiffness.
8
Disc-Brake Integration
The frame and fork are engineered with flat-mount disc-brake technology for powerful, consistent braking performance in all conditions. New front (12x100mm) and rear (12x142mm) thru-axles boost stiffness and steering precision.
9
PowerCore
A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86.5mm wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
10
Giant Tubeless System
Engineered with proprietary Dynamic Balanced Lacing, an all-new composite WheelSystem and tubeless tires (up to 45mm) deliver improved efficiency, comfort and control in the most user-friendly and reliable system.
