Sport/Performance

GO LONG. GO FAST. SUPER LIGHT AND SILKY SMOOTH, THE FLAGSHIP SERIES OF THE NEW DEFY RANGE IS BACK TO RECLAIM ITS TITLE AS THE PINNACLE OF ENDURANCE ROAD. IT’S THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR THE SPORTIVE OR GRAN FONDO THAT’S CIRCLED ON YOUR CALENDAR. Functional simplicity - Free of cumbersome gimmickry, the frameset is one of the lightest in its category. With a perfect balance of high-performance reactivity and all-day comfort, it offers a “less is more” experience for modern endurance road riding. Engineered compliance - Advanced SL-grade composite frame and fork are specifically engineered for endurance road riding, delivering a smooth and efficient ride quality that minimizes fatigue on long rides. The new D-Fuse components work together to further absorb road shocks and vibrations. Total control - A new Contact D-Fuse handlebar features ergonomic shaping and an 8-degree flare for comfort and control on all-day rides. Wide, hookless carbon rims (22.4mm inner width) are optimized for high-volume tubeless tires (up to 38mm), and a 36mm rim depth offers stable, predictable handling in crosswinds. Techs & Features: Advanced SL Composite Technology Professional Grade raw carbon fiber is woven in our composite factory to produce our lightest, stiffest and highest quality frames. This is the technology used by Giant’s pro racers in almost every cycling discipline. 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. D-Fuse Technology The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar were designed to function as a system, absorbing road shocks and vibrations so you can ride farther, faster. OverDrive Aero Found inside the head tube of the Defy, Propel and TCR ranges, the D-shaped fork steerer tube and corresponding spacers provide an extremely aerodynamic, easier to service system of internally routed brake and derailleur cables. 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.

Unleash your sprint with 200 meters to go. Close a gap, chase back, launch a solo attack. This pro-level road machine is made for the moments that count. More aero, more adjustable, more ways to win. Key Performance Factors: Integrated aerodynamics AeroSystem Shaping, a result of CFD analysis and dynamic wind-tunnel testing, optimizes aerodynamic performance at every yaw angle. The truncated ellipse airfoil tube shapes and Contact SLR Aero cockpit produce the best overall aero performance. Easier adjustability Cable routing through the stem and head tube makes it quicker and easier to adjust or change cockpit components and fine-tune performance and riding position. Race-winning efficiency Advanced SL-grade composite frameset features Giant’s pro-level composite materials and manufacturing processes. The result is 150 grams of weight savings compared to the previous generation and an even greater stiffness-to-weight advantage.

FROM HORS CATEGORIE CLIMBS TO ROLLERS AND FLATS, THIS WORLDTOUR LEVEL RACE BIKE IS THE PRO’S CHOICE FOR ALL-ROUNDER PERFORMANCE. THE ALL-NEW FLAGSHIP TCR USES SYSTEM INTEGRATION AND INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION METHODS TO DELIVER A CLEAR ADVANTAGE ON THE ROAD. KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION The frameset, wheels, cockpit and other parts are engineered, developed and tested together to perform best as a system. The all-new OverDrive Aero steerer tube technology is combined with a Contact SLR AeroLight stem and Contact SLR handlebar to incorporate internal cable routing that also integrates the top cap, cables and spacers in a more aerodynamic, user-friendly setup WINNING EFFICIENCY Featuring a greater stiffness-to-weight ratio than the previous generation, along with new aero tube shaping and a lighter overall weight, this uncompromising race bike delivers explosive acceleration and unyielding pedaling stiffness. The result is race-winning performance in the moments that count. INTEGRATED AERODYNAMICS From the truncated ellipse shape of frameset tubing to a new cockpit design and component integration, it all adds up to a more streamlined profile that helps give the flagship TCR Advanced SL 0 model a 4.19-watt advantage over the previous generation.
