2025 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 di2, all you need to know before buying a new bike Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 di2 strengths flaws performance opinions and much more!
2025 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 Di2 test review Build quality
The Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 Di2 2025 has a valid general construction quality, it doesn't cost little, for the type of assembly, but the frame is well made, good availability of sizes, while it is a shame that only the color is available in the picture.
Although it is not a cheap bike by any means, the value for money is good; other bikes of the same brand and same assembly cost more.
The price of around 4799 euros is ultimately correct, but it is 500 euros higher than the previous model from which there is very little difference.
2025 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 Di2 test review Frame
The Giant TCR 2024 frame remains an excellent product, well made, with a wide availability of sizes and good overall build quality.
The weight of the frame is low, even in this version without integrated seat post and not top of the range.
The weight-to-price ratio remains favorable, even if we are at a value of 8.0 kg, competitive for the type of bike, but also not exactly contained given the price close to 5 thousand euros.
The competitors, with these components, offer nothing better.
2025 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 Di2 test review Assemblies
The Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 Di2 2025 is assembled with the new Shimano 105 Di2 groupset.
A quality assembly, not light, but reliable and long-lasting.
The only flaw is the overall weight, but to do better you need to spend a lot more.
2025 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 Di2 test review Comfort
The Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 Di2 2025 has a high ride comfort, it is not an endurance bike, but not that far off.
In comparison, other TCR models are more uncomfortable.
Long distances are therefore feasible with good ride comfort.
One of the most comfortable racing bikes, an excellent result.
2025 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 Di2 test review Guide
The 2025 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 Di2 is no surprise, a sincere, predictable, safe race bike.
Excellent downhill, good when braking, above all a great ease of driving emerges.
Downhill it is safe and easy to control, as well as on stretches of ruined asphalt, where it is even better than lighter models.
Not very sensitive to side winds and very easy to drive on long straights exposed to the wind.
Equally pleasant to drive is on curved stretches of road.
A nice racing bike with a fine-tuned frame.
With this assembly it is perfect for the amateur who wants to pedal in safety and tranquility.
2025 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 Di2 test review Performance
The Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 Di2 2025 is undoubtedly a competitive and excellent bike compared to competing bikes similar in price and type of assembly.
In absolute terms there is no lack of frame rigidity, but the weight slows the bike down slightly on climbs.
Overall the performance is excellent on every route.
It doesn't have a weak point and this is its strength, like the other TCR models.
It's good on plains and hills, but it expresses itself equally well uphill and excellent downhill.
Its rigid frame satisfies the most powerful athletes.
Compared to the other TCRs, it lags behind on climbs and partly on hills.
On downhill and flat terrain it manages to keep up well with much more expensive bikes.
In its price range and with similar technical equipment it has no major rivals.
A very competitive racing bike, which reflects the general characteristics of the Giant TCR range.
2025 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 Di2 test review Pros and cons
The Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 105 Di2 2025 has proven to be a competitive, versatile, comfortable and good performing racing bike.
It is not a top of the range model, slightly heavy in absolute terms, but it has an excellent quality/price ratio.
It goes well and is competitive on every route, in its price range it is among the best purchases to make.
This is its merit.
For the defects they are few: the weight, the price, but both are due to market demands: electronic groupset, disc brakes, internal cable routing... everything cyclists want...
Giant made it, at a good price, difficult to do better.
Nice competitive bike and with a fair price, however it does not differ differently from the previous version, but is its natural evolution.
