Giant TCR Advanced Pro Disc 0 Ultegra Di2 2022 Road Bike
The TCR is Giant's lightweight all-rounder, while the Propel is its aero bike. This frameset was developed to give road racers and riders greater climbing capabilities, aerodynamic efficiency, and sprint stiffness for race-winning performance, thanks to an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio and enhanced aero tube shaping.
In varying weather and road conditions, integrated disc brakes provide smooth, powerful stopping ability and modulation for increased control. Flat mounts and redesigned thru-axles improve overall handling, whilst increased frame and fork clearance allows for up to 32mm tyre diameters.

Giant Defy Advanced Pro 2 Ultegra 2022 Road Bike
The Giant Defy Advanced Pro 2 features a low bottom gear for endurance, cooling Ice-Tech rotors, and several Giant-branded accessories. The carbon bar, D-profile seatpost, and carbon wheels with 32mm tyres are included. The Pro 2 Giant wheels are built on a new 42mm-deep hookless rim that makes tubeless tyre installation simple and tyre sealing a breeze. Hookless rims are also stronger and lighter than traditional rims, which justifies their low weight.
More consistent braking is achieved with Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc brake integration, which includes flat mounts and 12mm front and rear thru-axles. The Contact SL D-Fuse handlebar and D-Fuse SL composite seatpost help absorb road shocks and vibrations.
