They're probably also under instructions from Taiwan to keep a lid on things until certain dates that HO has in mind to release details of things globally.

We are due for a new TCR this time around aren't we Duck! ? Surely the 1st we will see them is at Le Tour so late July makes sense, it will be interesting to see what they have coming with itDuck! wrote:Some "recreational" models start sneaking through around June/July, but the main "Performance" launch is late July or early August.

This would all but confirm the new TCR will be out in July, well with Giant Alpecin anyway....Strydz wrote:We are due for a new TCR this time around aren't we Duck! ? Surely the 1st we will see them is at Le Tour so late July makes sense, it will be interesting to see what they have coming with it

And while it's highly probable that it will be ridden in the Tour this year, that's no guarantee that Giant will push the launch to market ahead of their usual timing.

Given that the disc-braked road bikes were only brought in last year, and they work on a (typically) three-year production run, I doubt it.Grgic wrote:Anyone know if they are sticking with quick release on their disc brakes or are they moving to through axle?

Just the thing for riding round the yard.

I'd better see about getting a fork for my old TCR SL3 frame, I want to get it going again as well.

Are you suggesting the top tube slope has changed? That doesn't appear to be so.danny the boy wrote:So looking at that photo am I right in saying they have put the top tube back to a more normal position rather than the ergo type frame that it used to be?

At the '15 model launch last year, when queried about the TCR not being updated along with the other models, the rep suggested, while not giving any details away, that with the Propel staking its place as the super-stiff powerbrute, this new TCR would be refocused as more of a "climbers' bike".

Which is what many have been saying since 2013 in the tcr vs propel trade offs. Propel trumps tcr on the flat while the tcr trumps the propel in the hills.Duck! wrote:At the '15 model launch last year, when queried about the TCR not being updated along with the other models, the rep suggested, while not giving any details away, that with the Propel staking its place as the super-stiff powerbrute, this new TCR would be refocused as more of a "climbers' bike".
