Giant TCR Advanced 2 2022 Bike

Winning race bikes have just the right balance of light weight, stiffness and smooth compliance on the road. TCR
Advanced delivers on all three and adds updated aero performance.

Key Performance Factors

Class-leading efficiency

With an impressive stiffness-to-weight ratio and updated aero tube shaping, this
frameset is engineered to give road racers and riders superior climbing capabilities, aerodynamic efficiency and
sprint stiffness for race-winning performance.

Advanced aerodynamics

This is where the TCR’s most quantifiable gains can be found compared to previous
generation models. Every tube shape was analysed, engineered and tested to create an overall structure with
significantly lower drag at a wider range of yaw angles.

Total control

Integrated disc brakes deliver smooth, powerful stopping power and modulation for added control in
variable weather and road conditions. Flat mounts and new thru-axles boost stiffness and improve overall handling,
while added frame and fork clearance allows for larger diameter tyres up to 32mm.

Technologies

Advanced Composite Technology

Giant’s High Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this
custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of
these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called
Modified Monocoque Construction.

Overdrive

Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end
steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4″ lower and 1 1/8″ upper for road, 1 1/2″
lower and 1 1/8″ upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering
stiffness.

Compact Road Design

Introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE in the 1990s, Compact Road
revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping toptube (from the
headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes it
easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit.

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.

Ridesense Ready

This frame comes prepared to accept the Giant RideSense sensor and accompanying
hardware.

Variant Seatpost

This proprietary seatpost design offers an optimized balance of light weight, superior
ride quality and simple adjustment to enhance the total race performance of the TCR road range.

Megadrive

A massive rectangular downtube and oversized toptube work in unison to provide superior front
end lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped downtube yields
unprecedented steering and pedaling stiffness.

Powercore

A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter
wide bottom-bracket design (92-millimeter wide for off-road bikes). Asymmetric chainstays provide additional
stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
