My local Giant dealer expects this bike to be available September. Have to say Giant have won a lot of awards and with this 9th generation edition the trend continues. Well done Giant !

My TCR Advanced SL 1 Disc is coming soon:) Great video, loved the format!

This is the worst time to be buying bikes but the best time to be riding one.

Looking forward to seeing more of these group test videos.

Pretty ridiculous 5k only gets you what's classed as mid range these days, Dick Turpin wore a mask

I love love love my 2019 Giant TCR. It’ll be nice to upgrade to the more aero version in the next few years too! Great list!

[hinson]

proud owner of the TCR Advanced Pro 0 (same bike as reviewed) and all I can say is this is the best bike for the buck. You prolly can't find a better bike for this money...

Great Review!! Looking forward to see TREK review and comparison with these ones!

[parthmache]

this is perfect template for any bike review

Specialized... wheels like that on a five grand bike. Having a laugh!

[davenicoll]

Thank you for these comparisons...reaffirms my love for my Giant TCR Advanced Sl, yes it's a 2017 model but is still amazing...just about to put Ultegra di2 on it..

There’s a lot to be said for the simple very lightweight rim brakes like older super sixes cervelos etc

[Ballacks]

The BMC bottle cage looks like someone has stuck a flip-flop onto the downtube.

Fantastic review. Really appreciate the ride loop feedback. I hope Michelle gets a turn riding next time !

[tobycolin]

Most useless marketing sound bite goes to specialized “ this bike is 45 seconds faster over an hour at 50 km/h “ I can’t believe anyone could repeat that comment without laughing out load. Enjoyed the rest of the test but there’s nothing for me. I’ll stick to rim brakes, carbon deep sections and tubes of tubs I just like the feel of a 7kg 56 bike with pedals and cages and if I want comfort I’ll go for a 9kg steel. If your nice I’ll lend you my 92 cadex (carbon) or my 92 peleton for a feature.

That man is amazing ! He knows what he's talking about ! The quintessential bike reviewer !

1500 usd price range would be awesome for budget conscious

[jordanlewis]

Just got my Addict RC15, it’s immense.

[Risayogi]

Scott Addict RC15 is the best looking bike. That invisible cable routing, though. I’d still choose it over Giant or other bikes.

Bikes getting heavier but more expensive 🤯
