The proprietary D-shaped composite seatpost dampens vibration—resulting in a smooth, compliant ride.
TCX SLR
Tight corners, steep run-ups, slippery descents. You never know what you’ll get with cyclocross, and that’s what this bike is made for. With a lightweight aluminum frame, composite fork and integrated parts, it’s smooth and fast on paved roads, dirt, sand or mud.

Highlights
With a superlight ALUXX SLR aluminum frame, matched with a composite fork and 12mm front and rear thru-axles, the TCX SLR gives you smooth, confident handling on all types of terrain. The D-Fuse composite seatpost, a technology first developed by Giant to add compliance to cyclocross bikes like this one, helps smooth out rough terrain. Integrated disc brakes with flat mounts and thru-axles give you added control, and a tubeless ready Giant WheelSystem makes it easy to enjoy the advantages of tubeless tires including a smoother ride quality, less rolling resistance, and a reduced risk of flats.

D-Fuse seatpost
2
OverDrive 2 / OverDrive
Depending on the model, features either OverDrive 2 (1 1/2" lower, 1 1/4" upper) or OverDrive (1 1/4" lower, 1 1/8" upper) headset bearings with a tapered steerer tube to offer front-end stiffness and high-performance steering precision.
3
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.
4
Aluxx SLR Aluminum
Formed from premium raw materials in Giant’s own forging facility, this ultra-lightweight proprietary alloy features 20% thinner butted tubing to create best-in-class weight savings.
5
Disc-Brake Integration
Frame is engineered with flat-mount disc-brake integration for superior braking performance in all types of on- or off-road conditions.
6
Thru-Axle Design
All-new 12mm front and 12mm rear thru-axles provide superior braking performance and stiffness for precise cornering and overall control.
7
Hidden Rack Mounts
Rear rack mounts are integrated into the frame to add versatility for adventure riding performance.
Techs & Features
ALUXX SLR Aluminum Technology
This superlight Pro level aluminum material is made predominantly from 6011 alloy and delivers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any Giant aluminum frameset. State-of-the-art microscopic grain manipulation and advanced butting allows for 20 percent thinner and lighter tube shapes than ALUXX SL framesets.
Internal Seatpost Clamp
A lightweight, all-internal seatpost locking mechanism provides confident clamping force with clean performance and aesthetics.
Tubeless System
Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.
