The cycle industry is awash with acronyms, TCR. Di2. UCI. MTB. CX. TDF. BMX. BUG. are just a few that spring to mind.
Add to this, "SL", an often quoted abbreviation for that most sought after of bicycle traits,................. Super Light!
As Giants premium model, not unexpectedly, the TCR Advanced SL frame is the lightest ever produced by Giant. Equally as important though, is how it performs, and with an unsurpassed stiffness to weight ratio, the Advanced SL is a rocket ready for any pressure situation you find yourself in. Want to sprint out of a corner? Descend at warp speed? Climb with ease? Maximise your effort? Then, it's time to get on a Giant TCR Advanced SL 1 for the ride of a lifetime. Available in a size to suit everyone.

M 173 cm 178 cm
ML 178 cm 183 cm
L 183 cm 188 cm
XL 188 cm 194 cm
Giant's Professional-grade raw carbon material is woven in their own composite factory to create the most cutting-edge frames available today. These frames feature the most advanced engineering and construction methods:
MATERIALS: Professional-grade grade raw carbon with the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio available today. RESIN: Professional-grade formula with Carbon Nanotube Technology (CNT), a microscopic polymer added to Giant's custom blended resin*. Like miniature buttresses, CNT strengthens the layers of composite. Frames featuring CNT are 14 percent more impact-resistant than those without it. FUSION PROCESS: This complex process involves hand weaving the top-tube and seat-tube together, then re-molding the area under heat and high pressure to unify the junction, resulting in a lighter, stronger frame than those with traditional moulding. CONTINUOUS FIBER TECHNOLOGY: This manufacturing process allows Giant to construct the front triangle of Advanced SL bicycles* with larger, and therefore fewer, sections of composite material. With fewer pieces and junctions, the frames are up to 100 grams lighter and significantly stronger.
Add on a Shimano Ultegra Di2 ensemble, a set of carbon wheels, some tubeless tyres and, voila, a very very slick machine, bred and built to win.
