This world-tour-level race bike is the pro’s choice for all-around performance. The all-new flagship tcr uses system integration and innovative construction methods to deliver a clear advantage on the road.

Cycling Weekly’s take on the TCR Advanced SL 0

Cycling Weekly has been a trusted source for in-depth reviews and insights into the cycling world for years. In their recent review of the Giant TCR Advanced SL 0, they didn’t hold back in praising this exceptional bike. Describing it as “a masterpiece in engineering,” the review highlights the bike’s ability to make even the steepest climbs more manageable thanks to its incredibly light, yet stiff, frame.

According to Cycling Weekly, the TCR Advanced SL 0 frame, constructed from Giant’s Advanced SL-grade composite, is a key factor in its climbing efficiency. The review notes, “The frame is remarkably lightweight, yet offers exceptional stiffness, translating to explosive acceleration and superior power transfer.”

“The real gains on the new TCR, in my opinion, are made outside of the frameset alone. New Cadex Max 40 wheels fitted to our test model feature 40mm rim depth, a 22.4mm hookless internal rim width, and ultra-light carbon spokes. At 1,249 grams, these wheels strike a balance between weight and stiffness, outperforming some competitors in stiffness-to-weight ratio by 10.5%. “ Joe Baker, Joe is Cycling Weekly’s tech writer. 

Handling and Precision

Beyond its climbing capabilities, the TCR Advanced SL 0 also excels in handling and precision. Cycling Weekly emphasises the bike’s geometry, which has been fine-tuned to balance stability and agility. This ensures confident handling, whether navigating tight corners or speeding down descents. They said, “The TCR Advanced SL 0 provides razor-sharp handling, allowing you to maintain control on any terrain.”

Top-Tier Components

The review also highlights the bike’s top-tier components, which contribute to its outstanding performance. Equipped with the Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset, the TCR Advanced SL 0 offers smooth, reliable shifting. Additionally, the integrated Giant WheelSystem enhances aerodynamics and control. Cycling Weekly aptly states, “Every component of the TCR Advanced SL 0 has been chosen to enhance the rider’s experience and performance.”

The Giant TCR Advanced SL 0 has received widespread acclaim, not just from Cycling Weekly but also from the broader cycling community. The bike has been lauded for its climbing prowess, responsive handling, and overall performance, making it the preferred choice for serious cycling in 2024.
