The TCR Advanced 2 is built around Giant’s Advanced-Grade Composite frame, delivering an impressive stiffness-to-weight ratio that translates your effort directly into forward speed. The compact road race geometry places you in an efficient position for climbing and accelerating, while maintaining stability on fast descents and technical corners.
Every tube profile has been refined with aerodynamics in mind. The shaping reduces drag across a broad range of real-world wind angles, helping you hold speed on exposed roads and during breakaway efforts. It’s a bike that rewards strong pedalling without demanding compromise on handling.
Up front, the full-composite fork with OverDrive steerer increases torsional stiffness for precise steering input. Whether you’re carving through bends or sprinting out of the saddle, the front end feels direct and predictable.
Shimano 105 12-speed provides smooth, reliable shifting with a wide 11–34T cassette and 52/36 chainset, giving you the range to tackle steep climbs and maintain speed on flatter terrain. The hydraulic disc brakes, with 160mm front and 140mm rear rotors, offer consistent stopping power and control in all weather conditions.
Rolling stock comes in the form of Giant’s P-R1 Disc alloy wheelset, paired with 700x28c Giant Gavia Course 0 tubeless tyres. The tubeless setup allows lower pressures for improved grip and reduced puncture risk, while maintaining low rolling resistance for fast road riding.
A Giant Variant composite seatpost helps smooth out road buzz, reducing fatigue over longer distances without sacrificing efficiency. Finishing kit is tailored by frame size to maintain balanced handling across the range.
If you’re looking for a carbon road bike that blends low weight, aerodynamic efficiency and dependable components, the TCR Advanced 2 is a focused, race-ready platform that’s equally at home in competition or pushing your personal best on local roads.
