In addition to its Propel (high-performance aero model) and Defy (endurance), Giant's most accomplished road bike is its TCR, the tenth generation of which we were able to ride.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Giant, the TCR is an iconic model that the brand first unveiled 27 years ago, when the Taiwanese manufacturer launched its partnership with the Spanish ONCE team, which included Laurent Jalabert. Over a quarter of a century later, the 10th generation of the TCR has been unveiled by Giant, and we got to ride it for the space of one outing. To fully understand Giant's road bike range, we first need to talk about the Propel and Defy, the other two road models offered by the world's leading cycle manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit Propel<\/a> <\/strong>is a speed bike that excels on long straights. Stiffness is a must for this model, which Giant presents as a machine for winning. \"This is a bike designed to enable the world's best riders to make the difference in the money time.\" On this model (whose top-of-the-range model is the Propel Advanced SL), Giant points out that the truncated ellipse shape of the aero tubes produces \"exceptional overall aerodynamic performance\". The same applies to the front surfaces, where aerodynamics are most important. The new Contact Aero handlebars and stem also reduce drag, as do the new Cadex 50 wheels fitted with Cadex Aero tires. All in all, the gains are 6.21 watts over the previous generation Propel, or 27 seconds over 40 km at 40 km\/h. Not insignificant when it comes to those precious marginal gains that make the difference between victory and second place in a race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
