Giant PROFESSIONAL GRADE Brochure

highest-performance carbon raw material formed by breakthrough construction techniques. State-of-the-art T-800 raw composite material is painstakingly woven in Giant’s own composite factory (a step no other major manufacturer undertakes), then hand-crafted into framesets using Giant’s most advanced construction technique, Fusion. The process produces the lightest, stiffest and most ride-compliant framesets ever to roll on two wheels.

Features: As the pioneer of the integrated seatpost, Giant continues to improve its original design with lighter weight (approximately 40 grams of weight savings, compared to a standard composite seatpost), improved aerodynamics and a “tuned” forgiving ride feel. An adjustable saddle clamp offers 10 or 23 millimeters of offset for precise saddle position. Benefit: Lighter, more aerodynamic and providing a more “tuned” ride than a traditional post, the TCR Advanced SL’s integrated seatpost is the advanced way to stay in the saddle. 2 Fusion Process Features: Breakthrough construction technology allows Giant engineers to save significant weight (more than 100 grams) compared to traditional monocoque construction designs, while helping to build the stiffest racing-oriented frameset Giant has ever produced in its 38-year production history. Benefit: Fusion is the key to building Giant’s lightest road bikes without sacrificing stiffness or strength. A two-step molding procedure makes these junctions stronger and more precise than traditional co-molded junctions. 3 PowerCore Features: A massively oversize bottom-bracket/ chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter-wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside. Benefit: Unprecedented pedaling stiffness is achieved through the fully integrated bottom- bracket standard and intelligent chainstay design. 4 MegaDrive Features: A massive rectangular downtube and oversize toptube work in unison to provide superior front-end lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered, rectangular- shaped downtube yields unprecedented pedaling stiffness. Benefit: Both tubes work together to produce the quickest-accelerating, best-handling bicycle Giant has ever produced. 5 OverDrive Features: An oversize headtube and fork steerer tube create maximum steering precision without additional weight. The 1 1/8-inch top / 1 1/4-inch bottom headset bearings (1 1/8-inch top / 1 1/2-inch bottom for off-road bikes) and tapered composite steerer tube are utilized in conjunction to provide optimal torsional/lateral steering stiffness. Both the top- and downtubes “wrap” around the headtube to provide additional torsional and lateral stability. Benefit: Pinpoint steering precision is pushed to the highest level. Hard cornering under the most demanding conditions has never felt so confident. 5
