Professional-grade raw carbon is woven in the Giant composite factory using the most advanced engineering and construction methods. Continuous Fiber Technology adds strength and minimizes weight.
Fra klatring uden for kategori til rul på flade stræk, er denne WorldTour racercykel proffens valg til allround ydeevne. Det helt nye flagskib TCR bruger systemintegration og innovative konstruktionsmetoder til at levere en klar fordel på vejen.
Nøglefaktorer
SYSTEM OPTIMERING
Rammesættet, hjulene, cockpittet og andre dele er konstrueret, udviklet og testet sammen for at fungere bedst som ét system. Den helt nye OverDrive Aero gaffelstilkteknologi er kombineret med en Contact SLR AeroLight frempind og Contact SLR styr for at inkorporere intern kabelføring, der også integrerer top cap, kabler og spacere i en mere aerodynamisk, brugervenlig opsætning.
VINDENDE EFFEKTIVITET
Med et større stivhed-til-vægt-forhold end den forrige generation, sammen med ny aero-rørformning og en lettere totalvægt, leverer denne kompromisløse racercykel eksplosiv acceleration og ubøjelig pedalstivhed. Resultatet er løbsvindende præstation i de øjeblikke, der tæller.
INTEGRERET AERODYNAMIK
Alle rørformer blev konstrueret og udviklet ved hjælp af Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) og vindtunneltest. Fra den afkortede ellipseform af rammesætrørene til et nyt cockpitdesign og komponentintegration giver det hele en mere strømlinet profil, der giver rammesættet en 4,19-watt aerofordel i forhold til den forrige generation
ADVANCED SL COMPOSITE
ONE-PIECE MOLD
New construction technique uses a single bladder (as opposed to previous generation’s three bladders) to create a one-piece front triangle. The result is reduced weight without compromising stiffness or aerodynamic shaping.
TRUNCATED ELLIPSE TUBING
Strategically engineered airfoil sections in the frame and fork, developed through CFD and wind-tunnel testing, improve aerodynamic efficiency, reducing wind drag at a wide range of yaw angles compared to traditional teardrop shaped tubes.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Frame/handlebar/stem feature unique cable porting for sleek, non-cluttered appearance and easier adjustability.
FULL COMPOSITE FORK
Advanced SL-grade composite fork features a symmetric design and aero shaping, along with disc-brake integration and increased clearance for tires up to 33mm. This new design makes it lighter, stiffer and more aerodynamic.
AERODYNAMIC HANDLEBAR AND STEM
Lightweight handlebar and stem feature aero shaping including flat handlebar tops with raised edges to help riders maintain a stable aero position. Internal cable routing further improves aerodynamics while maintaining ease of setup and adjustment.
OVERDRIVE AERO
The D-shaped fork steerer tube and corresponding spacers provide an extremely aerodynamic, easy-to-service system of internally routed brake and derailleur cables.
INTEGRATED SEATPOST
Specifically engineered for competitive road racers, Variant’s refined shape and integrated design reduces weight, improves aero performance, and adds road-smoothing compliance.
MEGADRIVE
An oversized down tube and top tube provide superior front end lateral and torsional stiffness. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped down tube yields unprecedented steering precision and pedaling performance.
POWERCORE
The oversized bottom bracket area features a fully integrated 86mm wide design. Symmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
TUBELESS WHEELSYSTEM
Engineered with proprietary Dynamic Balanced Lacing and composite spokes, this tubeless ready composite WheelSystem delivers superior efficiency, comfort and control in the most user-friendly system.
DISC-BRAKE INTEGRATION
The frame and fork are engineered with flat-mount disc-brake technology for powerful, consistent braking performance in all conditions.
