For cyclocross racing, you need a bike that can handle fast starts, sharp turns, artificial obstacles, and passes through sand, mud, or slushy snow. And that's exactly what our legendary TCX cyclocross special is, a bike that has been perfectly proven by top World Cup racers.

We manufacture Advanced Composite frames in our own factories from the highest quality raw materials using advanced manufacturing methods and processes. As a result, they have high stiffness at low weight and provide excellent handling characteristics. The latest generation of the TCX Advanced Pro frame (introduced in the 2021 collection) is 17.5% lighter than the previous one, but of course the high stiffness has been maintained.

Advanced Composite Technology In our in-house carbon processing factory, we use premium raw carbon with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio to produce custom Advanced Composite material. The front triangle of the frame is assembled and mold cured as one continuous piece (monocoque) using a patented manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.
	Giant Tubeless System Fewer flats. Better tire grip. Less rolling resistance, more comfortable and faster ride. With Giant's tubeless system, you can enjoy all these benefits. The rims come with tubeless tape and valves from the factory, so all you have to do is apply sealant and your wheels are fully ready for tubeless.
D-Fuse Saddle The D-Fuse saddle is designed to dampen vibration and absorb shock from the riding surface to make the ride more comfortable. This works by making the seatpost slightly springy under load, thanks to its specific "D" shape.
	OverDrive 2 The most advanced oversize front fork post technology on Giant bikes is designed to increase the stiffness of the front of the frameset and steering for precise bike handling. It includes oversize headset bearings (lower 1 1/2" and upper 1 1/4") and a tapered fork post to provide maximum steering stiffness.

Hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful stopping power and smooth modulation, greatly improving bike handling. The brakes are mounted using modern flat mount mounts and 12mm solid axles provide the necessary stiffness. The OverDrive 2's tapered fork post, where the upper headset bearing is 1 ¼" diameter and the lower 1 ½", increases steering stiffness and thus improves the bike's handling.

The D-Fuse SL carbon seatpost, thanks to its specific "D" shape, absorbs vibrations better than a conventional round seatpost, making the ride more comfortable. But the frame is also compatible with a standard 30.9 mm round seatpost - so you can also install a telescopic seatpost on your bike, which you'll appreciate especially on descents.
