Size chart

TCR Advanced size by height

Use this as a starting range. Inseam, standover, and how you like to ride still decide the final size.

XS

157-169 cm

Smallest race fit, with the lowest standover of the six sizes.

S

165-175 cm

Common starting size for riders near 170 cm.

M

171-181 cm

Middle of the range. Check reach before stepping up.

M/L

177-187 cm

Sits between M and L. Take it when M feels too short but L feels stretched.

L

183-193 cm

Longer front end. Confirm reach, not only height.

XL

189-199 cm

Tallest option, with the highest standover.

Start with height. If two sizes overlap, use cycling inseam to choose.How to measure

Sizing notes

Why height alone is not enough

Riders with the same height can need different sizes because inseam, torso length, flexibility, and preferred handling differ.

3 checks

  1. At the same size label, Giant lists 10-20 mm less stack and 3-14 mm more reach for the TCR than for the Defy. That is a lower front end and further reach to the bars.

  2. Choose TCR for the lower, longer position; choose Defy when you want a higher front end at the same size label.

  3. Geometry differs between TCR builds. Check stack, reach, and standover on the chart for your exact model and year.

Questions

TCR Advanced size chart FAQ

Short answers for Giant TCR Advanced sizing.

What size Giant TCR should I ride?

Start from the height range for your measurement, then check stack and reach for that size before choosing between two labels.

Is the Giant TCR the same fit as the Giant Defy?

No. At the same size label the TCR has 10-20 mm less stack and 3-14 mm more reach than the Defy, so it puts you lower at the front and further over the bars.

How many sizes does the Giant TCR come in?

Six: XS, S, M, M/L, L, and XL. Giant lists M/L as a half step between M and L.
