FROM THE TOUR DE FRANCE TO YOUR LOCAL KOM, NO OTHER ROAD BIKE IN THE WORLD DOES IT ALL BETTER THAN THIS LEGENDARY WINNER. CHOSEN BY WORLDTOUR PROS LIKE SIMON YATES, IT’S THE ULTIMATE ALL-ROUNDER FOR THE PERFORMANCE OBSESSED. KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS Class-leading efficiency Combining best-in-class stiffness-to-weight with strategically placed aero-tube shaping, this frameset is engineered for faster climbing, explosive acceleration, and unyielding pedaling 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 analyzed, 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 tires up to 32mm. 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. OVERDRIVE 2 The most advanced steerer tube technology in today’s Giant bikes. Designed to offer unprecedented front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2" lower, 1 1/4" upper) and tapered steerer tube work in harmony to provide supreme 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.

The latest generation of our flagship road racing series has been winning the biggest races in the world for more than three decades. It's the ultimate all-rounder for the performance obsessed. The latest TCR Advanced SL Disc builds on its proven climbing capabilities, boasting its highest stiffness-to-weight ratio ever, and adds aero shaping in key sections of the frameset for added all-rounder performance. Additional updates include added frame and fork clearance to fit high-volume tires up to 32mm, the latest integrated WheelSystem technology, and a new aero-engineered Contact SLR composite handlebar to make it even faster against the wind.

UNLEASH YOUR SPRINT WITH 200 METERS TO GO. CLOSE A GAP, CHASE BACK, LAUNCH A SOLO ATTACK. THIS NEW AERO 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 outstanding overall aero performance. Easier adjustability All-new cable routing through the handlebar and frame 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 225 grams of weight savings compared to the previous generation and an even greater stiffness-to-weight advantage. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROPEL ADVANCED SL This all-new aero road machine is designed and engineered for one main purpose: speed. With its AeroSystem Shaping technology and race-winning efficiency, it’s the bike of choice for the WorldTour sprinters on Team BikeExchange-Jayco and the world’s fastest triathletes. The tubes feature a truncated ellipse shape for a frame that is both ultra-stiff and superlight. Now 225 grams lighter than the previous generation, it offers a competitive edge when it matters most. AEROSYSTEM SHAPING Through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and wind-tunnel data, engineers optimize each tube shape to deliver superior aerodynamic performance. ADVANCED SL COMPOSITE Professional-grade raw carbon material is woven in our own composite factory using our most advanced engineering and construction methods including Continuous Fiber Technology, CNT Technology, and Fusion Process. AERO TUBELESS WHEELSYSTEM Engineered with proprietary Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology, this aero WheelSystem and tubeless tires deliver superior efficiency, pinpoint control, and supreme aerodynamics. VECTOR INTEGRATED SEATPOST Designed as a key performance factor in the overall frameset, the integrated seatpost saves up to 45 grams compared to standard composite posts, while improving aerodynamics and adding road-smoothing compliance. OVERDRIVE AERO Found inside the head tube of the all-new Propel range, the D-shaped fork steerer tube and corresponding spacers provide an extremely aerodynamic, easier-to-service system of internally routed brake and derailleur cables. FULL COMPOSITE FORK D-shaped steerer tube and legs are constructed entirely from Giant’s Advanced SL-grade composite for the lightest weight and superior handling. POWERCORE A massively oversized bottom bracket area features a fully integrated 86.5mm wide design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the drive-side and stability on the non-drive-side. NEW CABLE ROUTING Frame and handlebar feature all-new cable porting for sleek, non-cluttered appearance and easier adjustability. DISC-BRAKE INTEGRATION The frame and fork are engineered specifically for flat-mount disc brakes, including front and rear 12mm thru-axles for reliable braking performance in all weather and road conditions. AERO HANDLEBAR/STEM Aero handlebar and stem are designed to reduce overall drag while minimizing weight. AERO BOTTLE CAGES Custom-engineered down tube and seat tube-specific water bottle cages help minimize overall aerodynamic drag.
