The TCR Advanced SL 1 sits at the sharp end of Giant’s race range, built around an Advanced SL-Grade Composite frame that maximises stiffness while keeping weight impressively low. The integrated seatpost (ISP) design saves additional grams and enhances power transfer, giving the bike a direct, responsive feel under hard acceleration.
System integration is central to its performance. The OverDrive Aero steerer works in harmony with the Contact SLR AeroLight stem and Contact SLR handlebar, routing cables internally through the top cap and spacers. The result is a clean, aerodynamic cockpit that’s easy to fine-tune and engineered to function as part of a complete performance package.
Refined aero tube shaping, developed through CFD modelling and wind tunnel testing, reduces drag across a range of real-world wind angles. Combined with an improved stiffness-to-weight ratio over previous generations, it translates your effort into rapid forward motion whether you’re climbing, attacking or driving the pace on flat roads.
Shimano Ultegra Di2 12-speed provides crisp, electronic shifting with race-ready gearing from the 52/36 chainset and 11–34 cassette. This model also includes Giant’s Power Pro power meter, allowing you to track training and racing data straight from the crankset.
Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes, paired with 160mm front and 140mm rear rotors, deliver consistent braking performance and confident modulation in all weather conditions.
The Giant SLR 0 40 carbon WheelSystem features 40mm deep rims and aero carbon spokes, striking a balance between climbing efficiency and aerodynamic benefit. Fitted with CADEX Road Race GC 700x30c tubeless tyres, the setup allows lower pressures for improved grip and reduced rolling resistance, without sacrificing speed.
Finished with a Giant Fleet SLR saddle and carefully matched components across all frame sizes, the TCR Advanced SL 1 is a focused race machine. It’s built for riders who want a lightweight, fully integrated road bike that feels fast, precise and composed when the pace lifts.
