In our early season review of the 2016 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 we show off this incredible all-around race road bike in it’s natural environment: twists, turns, descents, and climbs. The TCR Advanced Pro 1 is nimble and reactive – a great sprinter and unreal climber. It was a pleasure to hit some fast turns and feel the firm connection this bike has to the road. The Giant TCR frame was fully redesigned for 2016 with a new advanced composite construction, redesigned Variant seatpost, and Giants own SL1 carbon wheelset. Believe me when I say this bike stuck to the road and was a rocket when you put the hammer down.
One of the most incredible things about the TCR Advanced Pro 1 is how Giant was able to maintain their position of Best In Class for stiffness to weight ratio. That means that given the weight of the frame it transfers more power to the road than any other bike on the market. What’s the takeaway? This bike is light, fast, and super reactive. It will be a pleasure to ride.
If you’re a data driven purchaser you have to check out the test results Giant summarizes on their website. Not to put a test ride down – they’re the end all of research – but when you see the numbers it’s hard to think badly of the TCR Advanced Pro 1.
Stop in a Bikes and Life store and test ride the 2016 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 for yourself to feel the incredible performance they pack into this very reasonably priced $3200 bicycle. Take care and have fun!

Incredible scenery and bike! I’ve got the TCR Advanced SL 2 and I LOVE IT!
this or venge elite?
Just wanted to say thanks for an awesome review. I was in the market for a new road bike and after seeing your review I went and gave one a test ride. Needless to say I walked out of the shop with one of these machines and a huge grin from ear to ear.
This is not a review – at all. This is just a marketing video pandering to Giant in the hope they’ll let you trial future stuff. Name me one thing in this video that isn’t in the sale blurb on Giant’s website. Any drawbacks? If I don’t race the pro peloton I’m sure I can still ride a bike for less than $3200 – how is it good value then? Why should I buy the 2016 model over the 2014 model – surely its a significant saving?
Come back when you actually have a review
this jackass gives FIVE STAR to everything he reviews.
This Giant is a fantastic bike !
great quick review.
Awesome video. How was high speed braking? What is the largest tire you can fit?
looks awesome, but I’m leaning more to the defy advanced pro 1.
Fantastic video
Damn that colour scheme is awesome! Looks a great highly tuned minimalist frame. Look like you get a lot of bike for the money
How many watts are you pushing here approx? Looks like your flying by, yet you barely seem out of breath.
Nice review – just as an aside, were you at NYCE Wheels before?
Peter – Very very good work 🙂 !! Quality ***** stars, Congratulations.
check out my giant with a few specs
Will you all at Bikes + Life review the new 2017 line? I’m really looking closely at the TCR Advanced 2. It’s got a fantastic value for a full carbon compact road frame with 105.
Great video combined with great music! I already own the 2011 TCR 0 which is made from their SL Alluxx and even that is a fast great ride. I can only imagine how good this one is!
Is it just me, or does the video look animated/like a video game? huh… good video , though!
please review the giant tcr advanced 1
Wow! How are you achieving these shots? Awesome shots!
Hey. Great review. I’m looking at the 2017 model. Any advice for bike size. I’m 5’8 , 30 inside leg. 59kg. The geometry and size charts for this bike are throwing me off a bit. Thanks.
This is a great review. Guys, keep up the good work. Beautiful location too… Looking forward to more road bike reviews!
I looking for 2017 tcr advanced sl2 Kom in xs frame

What size frame are you riding in the vid?
tcr advance pro1 is a good choice to buy or advance SL?
How are you able to get great audio while riding?
What happened to the Synapse review?
It’s hard to cover it all in a quick review. Let me know if you have specific questions about the Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1. Thanks for watching! -Peter
What’s the difference between the pro 1 vs sl 2?
