Rim brake models are available at all three frame levels. Giant has also updated the second-tier Advanced Pro Disc and third-tier Advanced Disc frames. The aerodynamic difference between the TCR and the Tarmac and R5 is also extremely small.
The TCR Advanced SL Disc is said to out-perform all three rivals on most counts (the Emonda is lighter), though this is based on Giant’s own testing and, of course, against a very select number of bikes. That’s the blend of attributes these all-round race bikes are now looking to achieve. Giant’s press material for the new TCR contains comparisons with three leading rivals – the Specialized S-Works Tarmac Disc, Trek Emonda SLR Disc and Cervélo R5 Disc – for weight, stiffness-to-weight and aerodynamics. Stiffness-to-weight ratio has also been improved, according to Giant, while a smattering of aero touches have made the new frame faster in the wind tunnel. The 2021 TCR Advanced SL Disc frame comes with a headline claimed weight of 765g.
