TCR Wins Road.cc Award

Global Engineering procedures CUTTING-EDGE COMPOSITE MATERIAL All-new Professional Grade raw carbon material is woven in Giant's own composite factory to produce an even lighter, stiffer frameset than the previous generation. This material also uses Carbon Nanotube Technology resin to improve impact resistance. LASER CUTTING Whereas previous generations of TCR frames relied on machine-stamped composite swatches, new laser technology is now used to produce ultra-precise cuts. This translates into smaller, more exacting swatches, which results in lighter overall weight of the finished structure. © GIANT | GIANT Liv momentum CADEX GROUP ADVANCED ROBOTIC LAYUP ASSEMBLY Giant Manufacturing invested in a new robotic assembly process for the critically weight conscious areas of the frame and fork. Ultra-precise placement of 150 smaller, individual composite swatches results in lighter overall frame and fork weights. FINISHING TECH Our new ThinLine paint process on the TCR Advanced SL 0 Disc uses a minimum quantity of paint to save up to 50 grams compared to a traditional seven-layer paint application. In addition, a proprietary 3M adhesive protector is used to reinforce the integrated seatpost (ISP) when the saddle clamp is installed, saving more weight without sacrificing security. ●GIANT GROUP
