The Giant TCR Advanced already boasted the best pedaling-stiffness-to-weight ratio of any production road race bike, and now the Taiwanese powerhouse has reworked the line to include hydraulic discs, thru-axles and tubeless wheels and tires.
The new TCR Disc line includes three bikes — TCR Advanced SL Disc, TCR Advanced Pro Disc and TCR Advanced Disc — which will be available in July. Prices were not immediately available.

The TCR Disc bikes feature flat mount disc brakes, with 100x12mm front and 142x12mm rear thru-axles.

Impressively, Giant has maintained the racy 405mm chainstays on all the bikes. Many brands have extended their chainstays slightly to accommodate discs, while Specialized used a custom-offset rear wheel to keep the stays racy and short on the Tarmac Disc.
Giant had already committed to disc brakes on every one of its cyclocross bikes.
On the top end, the TCR Advanced SL Disc and TCR Advanced Pro Disc bikes come with Giant’s SLR Disc wheels and the brand new Gavia SLR tubeless tires.
