@@hcw199 who are you to question how people spend their hard earned money? What car do you have on the drive? Do you even own it? By the way, that's cheap for a bike of that quality. Compared to a car, it's a snip.
I did as Liam suggested and bought the prior TCR model (AP1)...indeed saving a crap-ton of $ (even more so than he states in the vid). And got the double sided power meter. I am an endurance rider, and I find the TCR super comfy even on long rides. Yet, it is a scalpel on the road, feeling super nimble. Is it the sexiest looking bike out there?

Not a fan of the full on tidy cockpit trend for amateurs riders, not sure it brings much to the party, other than aesthetics.
I bought the CF SLX8 a few weeks back and I absolutely love the bike. Yes, I think a cheaper option would've given the same amount of pleasure but when looking at the long term investment (keeping the bike for a couple of years, potentially even 8 to 10) it is well worth investing in a higher end frame in my opinion. Also, I prefer the Arctic Blue SLX over the red and black SL. Important to say is that you need to be comfortable on the bike as you mentioned (bike fit highly recommended) and if the "fixed" stem is not ideal for you, you should not buy the Canyon. For me it fits perfectly and is still comfortable (relatively of course) after 5 or 6 hours on the bike.
You can easily fit 35mm tyres on Giant TCR, although factory states 32mm. Owner guaranteed. You don't need to go wider than that, unless you ride gravel.
@@dzrdza thanks 👍. I race a Giant Revolt, and Giant states that the “short” flip chip position fits max 45mm - and I’m running 47mm Pathfinder Pro’s in 47mm with 8mm clearance in the “short” position.

@@germurphy4986 you’d need to use a control tyre for a comparison review so it’s the frame your getting the test on. Not May reviewers do stuff like that - Dave Arthur uses his own wheels to test bikes
I agree that the previous gen TCR is currently a very good value with a steep discount. I'd go for a Di2 version of either TCR SL or Advanced Pro. I don't really care for the integrated cabling thing. 😉
It was a really nice bike but they kinda had no choice, 90% of people want those hidden cables now, If they didn’t have to they wouldn’t have but for sales it was necessary
I have an old rim bike, with aero wheels, and newer aero bike both with power meters. In group rides and Strava segments I can’t figure out which bike is faster. There are so many variables, wind from different directions, turbulence of the group. I look at power, speed even HR data either bike it doesn’t seem to matter.
Rode the Ultimate CF SLX for a week in Mallorca. My biggest takeaway is the handlebar is garbage, the drop is too short and when I was in the drops my wrist was hitting the top of the bar, while sprinting and descending which put sharp pains through my wrist. Had to descend in the hoods, which isn’t ideal.
Short, shallow drops can be great to get usable and fast hoods AND drops positions. Try bringing bars up and/or closer so that you’re comfortable with 90 degree elbows in the drops, then you won’t pinch wrists and you’ll almost certainly be faster
Optimize for joy, not speed. I, like a lot of riders, love dropping the hammer up a good climb. Going 24 mph instead of 23 mph on the flats, not so much.
Regarding hookless, I cannot for the life of me understand why any "average" cyclist would want to go hookless. Marginal aero/weight gain but at potential risk of failure.
Why would they not want hookless, it’s a stronger rim it give the tire a nicer shape and a wider profile so it’s more comfortable it’s lighter and all they have to do is buy a hookless compatible tire, I’ve only ever seen two fail in the fkn pro peloton, one we didn’t see what happened but there was an air liner in it, and the other was Derek gee in the fking Paris roubaix…
I do not like hookless rims because it needs specific tires and local bike shops in my entire city never ever stock or don't even sell those tires at the moment. Only Giant stores sell their own, which I would not prefer it over Conti GP5000.
I bought the last generation TCR, driven about 700 km. It's my third TCR, always "Advanced PRO 0 Di2". With each model it was always love at first sight, so my opinion is not objective. The new generation is stiffer, lighter not only on the scales, but already by feel in the hands. It is a bit more controllable on descents. The previous TCR was great and this one is even better.
I used to think that straight up bike weight was everything, but it's not. I bought a Canyon Ultimate a few years back which was noticeably heavier than the feathery Ridley Helium I'd been riding, yet on my very first ride on the Canyon, up a 15 minute climb I did regularly, I took 45 seconds of my PR. I couldn't believe it. Despite the weight, the Canyon seemed easier to pedal and accelerate up the climb.
Finally, someone that helps me confirm what size is best for me 😂. I'm 173cm myself but had been having problems with choosing the right size. Especially with these new geometry. My bike I'm using now is a 55cm, which could be count as a 56cm back in the days
Or Small TCR. I am 175(or 176 on a good day) and find myself exactly between S and M. Bought M by discount and it is ok, sometimes feels a bit bigger than perfect for me
These bikes almost look identical. Specs are also almost the same. It basically boils down to what colour do you like better and which bike is available faster.
You fail to mention the following. Hookless is only usable by lighter riders who don’t need higher pressures which would bust the hookless max pressure. Second, you must have your head in the sand about Giants power meter…..it’s crap and always has been. Every credible reviewer confirms same
Wow i got the 2022 tcr pro 1 team with mechanical ultegra for 3800€. I just changed the handlebar for a china integrated steem + handlebar size 38 for 140€. Total weight is 7.4kg. I can imagine spending almost double the price for 0.2g saving, electronic shifting, wider rim and carbon spokes..
The only good thing about the Giant is the lifetime (real) warranty on the frameset…Conversely, the only positive thing about the Canyon is MVDP winning 50% of the monuments on it (Tadej Hoovers up the other 50%)…

curious what do you consider a recreational rider?
if weight is the concern, compare the frames, normally changing the wheels will do the trick.
Why is a pressfit BB a good idea for the consumer?
on giants the bb shell is excellent, all of the press fit issues are caused by poor tolerances
Because it’s easy to service and it’s better and if you don’t know what the fuck you’re doing you shouldn’t touch it? That answer your question?

@@babybell5781 all utter rubbish. The hook has nothing to do with what the rim profile is. Black Inc and others have demonstrated that hooked rims (with deeper profiles) can be lighter than hookless rims
Tyres can make just as aero profile regardless
It saves the manufacturer money, which doesn’t get passed on to the consumer. If you’re happy being fleeced go for it. I’ll stick with hooked
No need too much talk… canyon… i just love canyon at first sight
personally id rather just not ride the TCR it seems so bias towards the TCR
???
TCR is now pointless, as the Propel can be built to 6.7kg.
Comfort
I like tcr very much but would never buy it because of those crap hookles wheels :/
