Giant TCR Advanced 3 : Composite/Yellow/White

Season:2016

Brand:Giant

Code:601048

Back in 1997, Giant introduced a bike to the racing world that fundamentally changed the industry. That bike was the Mike Burrows designed TCR.

It was unusual in that it featured a sloping top tube as well as smaller front and rear triangles. After initial resistance from the UCI (the frame was banned) the improved stiffness, lower weight and more responsive handling of the Compact Road geometry, Giant's TCR was much imitated and it remains the bedrock of all modern sloping and compact frame geometries. The TCR has remained in the range ever since and is the mainstay of their race range.

For the 2016 season, to celebrate 20 years of the TCR (it was designed in 1995/6) Giant had the desire to re-design the TCR platform to be equally as impactful as it's forbear. With enhanced carbon engineering and resin processes the all new TCR Advanced has lost a serious amount of weight without sacrificing it's best-in-class stiffness. As ever its precise handling is it's hallmark and the TCR Advanced is a beautifully reactive bike to ride, delivering the rider confidently into the corners and launching them out the other side without a sniff of instability.

While the TCR is predominantly a race bike platform with it's aggressive, aero position and longer top tube, prospective purchasers certainly shouldn't rule it out based on the moniker. The re-working of the frame and the introduction of Giant's new Variant seatpost means that the TCR Advanced range is more comfortable than ever, keeping you fresh on longer rides.

Giant only uses the finest quality Japanese Torayca carbon fibre in all their frames:  the ‘Advanced’ a T700 and the ‘Advanced SL’ a T800 fibre.   For 2016 Giant have produced the TCR Advanced and Advanced Pro with the same T700 fibre and the distinctions between the ranges come down to the finishing kit, steerer tube material on the fork (Aluminium on the Advanced and Carbon on the Advanced Pro / SL), Headset/headtube interface and wheels. Fundamenatlly then, the TCR Advanced range offers serious value for money for those looking to get the most for their money or wish to take a longer upgrade path.

For all-round road racers and riders, the TCR Advanced offers a perfect balance of stiffness, light weight and smooth compliance. The new Advanced grade T700 composite frame is lighter, but it still retains its pedal stomping stiffness. The OverDrive steerer system which features a larger bottom bearing in the headset and the MegaDrive downtube are engineered for precise handling.

The TCR Advanced 3 uses Shimano's redisigned Tiagra 4700 20 Speed groupset, improving both the shifting (which is lighter in feel) and the aesthetic, over the 2015 version. Giant's S-R2 wheels take care of rolling duties while their Contact and Connect bar and stem finish of the package.

  • Frame : Advanced -Grade Composite
  • Fork : Advanced-Grade Composite, Hybrid OverDrive steerer
  • Drivetrain : Shimano Tiagra 20 speed
  • Brakes : Shimano Tiagra
  • Wheels : Giant S-R2 WheelSet
