The TCR stands for “Total Compact Road” and was first introduced in 1997 and has been the industry's benchmark bike, Giant TCR continues to offer a lightweight, stiff, and high-performance all-around road bike that meets the needs of a wide range of riders.
The new 10th generation TCR comes with a fully internal brake line! Brake cables are routed through the head tube and into the frame for a simplified alignment and better aerodynamics. The latest GIANT proprietary cold knife cutting technology reduces the amount of carbon fiber cloth used to assemble the frame by about 10% and results in a one-piece front triangle that is lighter and stiffer than the previous generation.
