For a versatile road bike, the right balance between low weight and high stiffness is always extremely important, while the resulting frame must also offer the highest possible comfort. Our brand new TCR Advanced with rim brakes offers all three of these key features and adds an improved aero profile to the frame. If you are more interested in models with disc brakes, you will find them under the designation TCR Advanced Disc.
The new and radically improved TCR Advanced Disc models are built on Advanced Composite carbon frames. In the production of these frames, we use some of the highest class Advanced SL frame technology to achieve an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. And there's also the sharply shaped Variant seatpost (but it's not integrated here), which is designed to minimize air resistance, reduce the weight of the frame and increase your comfort at the same time. A typical feature of all bikes of the TCR series is the proven Compact Road geometry, which brings not only weight savings, but also higher frame stiffness and better driving characteristics, especially better handling of the bike. The new TCR Advanced can boast a rather unattainable stiffness-to-weight ratio, which is especially evident in steep climbs, which will be easier to overcome, or also in sprints, when the wheel has to use all the energy you give out as efficiently as possible. We should also mention the new aerodynamic profiles on the head tube, down tube and fork. Improving aerodynamic properties usually means increasing weight. In order to avoid this and keep the weight as low as possible, we use new top-quality materials for the production of the frame, the precise cutting of individual carbon parts is performed by a laser, and we use advanced robotic technologies when assembling these parts. In terms of equipment, both offered models are equipped with high-quality Giant PR-2 wheels and tubeless tires are used for better driving characteristics and at the same time less risk of a puncture.
MAIN ADVANTAGES
Advanced Composite carbon frame
The new TCR boasts a rather unattainable stiffness-to-weight ratio, while also featuring new aerodynamic profiles on the head tube, down tube and fork. In order to keep the weight as low as possible, we use new top-quality materials for the production of the frame, the precise cutting of individual carbon parts is performed by a laser, and we use advanced robotic technologies when assembling these parts. Thanks to this, the frames have "livelier" driving characteristics, significantly better acceleration and higher agility on climbs.
Improved aerodynamics
The most important innovations of the new TCR compared to the previous generation include improved aerodynamics - new aerodynamic profiles are on the head tube, down tube and fork. Each tube shape has been analysed, engineered and tested to significantly reduce overall drag over the widest possible range of angles. The result is the fastest TCR in its entire history.
Compact Road geometry
This unique design consists in the sloping of the upper tube, thanks to which both frame triangles have become smaller and the frame is thus much more "compact". The result is not only weight savings and higher frame stiffness, but also greater comfort and better handling of the bike. Thanks to this geometry, we are able to produce frames that provide the right amount of flexibility (i.e. the ability to absorb vibrations). The benefit is also better acceleration (your energy is not wasted by too much flexibility) and thus a smoother and more comfortable ride.

All bicycles at the MTBIKER shop are new, not-ridden, from an official distributor and with a full warranty. Several brands even offer a lifetime warranty on the frame after registration. We perform all warranty services in MTBIKER stores after personal delivery or after sending the bike (or its part) by courier.
- The bicycle is taken out of the manufacturer's box
- The bicycle is assembled, inspected and adjusted (front and rear derailleur, shock, fork, wheels,...)
- The bicycle is carefully packed back into a box and shipped
- If you order a bicycle for in store pick up or home delivery, the bicycle will be waiting put together, checked and ready to use for you.
- If you order a bicycle via courier to your home address, the following must be done at home:
- Take the bike out of the box and carefully remove safety material and foils
- Mount handlebar to stem (1 minute, 4 or 5 mm hex hey is needed).
- Mount front wheel to fork (1 minute, without the need of any tools if the bike has a quick release).
- Loosen the screws in the headset, straighten the stem with the front wheel, tighten the upper screw on the fork and then tighten the headset (2 minutes, 4 or 5 mm hex key is needed).
- Mount the pedals to the cranks while lubricating the thread and carefully mounting it the right way (1 minute, 8 mm hex key or 15 mm wrench).
- Mount seatpost to frame (10 seconds, without needing any tools if the frame has a quick link).
- Inflate the tyres or fork and shock to desired pressure (2 minutes, pump needed).
- Check the tightening of hex keys and quick-releases (2 minutes, 4 and 5 mm hex key is needed).
- Go for a test drive! Handle your bicycle carefully until you get used to it. If the bike has disc brakes, their performance will be limited from now on - they will gain their full power after 4-5 strong brakes at higher speed.
