VERDICT: Giant’s historic flagship TCR race bike has had an aero and efficiency overhaul, and it's tough to beat

Cycling News

Josh Croxton

Pros
  1. +Weight (sub 7kg, size large)
  2. +It holds speed over flat and rolling ground well
  3. +Power transfer is similar to a dedicated aero bike
Cons
  1. -Handling confidence takes time to build
  2. -The integrated seatpost makes flying with the TCR difficult, but not impossible
  3. -No Shimano builds available at Advanced SL level
