Road Frames

Dirt Just Got Faster An evolved race bike ready for the rough and tumble of grass crits, mud ruts or open gravel tracks. Where it thrives Belgian mud, grassy hills, sand pits, between the tape What it's built for Shaving off seconds, making quick decisions, serious mud clearance Highlights - Light, durable, low-drag carbon frameset with 45mm tire clearance - HollowGram 27 SL KNØT carbon seatpost, Speed Release thru-axles, removeable FD mount Fly to the Finish Line Proven aerodynamic tube profiles deliver an extra dose of speed. In a race decided by split seconds, why not give yourself every advantage? Dominate the 'cross course Explosive kick and unreal grip from short chainstays. An uncanny blend of high-speed stability and low-speed agility from our OutFront front end. Take the holeshot and keep it. Pit Less. Win More. Enormous tire clearance (13mm per side with UCI-legal 33mm tires) mean less clogging when it's mucky. More speed. Less stops.

CLIMB, CORNER AND DESCEND WITH SPEED AND EFFICIENCY. FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE FLATS, IN ALL TYPES OF CONDITIONS, THIS LIGHTWEIGHT COMPOSITE ROAD RACER TAKES YOU TO THE NEXT LEVEL. Class-leading efficiency - With an outstanding stiffness-to-weight ratio and updated aero tube shaping, this frameset is engineered for superior climbing capabilities, aerodynamic efficiency and sprint stiffness for race-winning performance. Advanced aerodynamics - This is where the TCR’s most quantifiable gains can be found compared to previous generation models. Every tube shape was analyzed, engineered and tested to create an overall structure with significantly lower drag at a wider range of yaw angles. Total control - Integrated disc brakes deliver smooth, powerful stopping power and modulation for added control in variable weather and road conditions. Flat mounts and new thru-axles boost stiffness and improve overall handling, while added frame and fork clearance allows for larger diameter tires up to 32mm. ADVANCED COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY - Giant’s High Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction. OVERDRIVE 2 - The most advanced steerer tube technology in today’s Giant bikes. Designed to offer unprecedented front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2” lower, 1 1/4” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness. COMPACT ROAD DESIGN - Introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE in the 1990s, Compact Road revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping toptube (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit. POWERCORE - A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter wide bottom-bracket design (92-millimeter wide for off-road bikes). Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside. VARIANT SEATPOST - This proprietary seatpost design offers an optimized balance of light weight, superior ride quality and simple adjustment to enhance the total race performance of the TCR road range.

Superlight, ultra-efficient, and rides like a dream. This well-rounded race bike blends industry-leading composite frame engineering with fully integrated components to help you climb, corner, and descend with astonishing speed and sublime road handling. KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS - SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION The frameset, wheels, cockpit and other parts are engineered, developed and tested together to perform as a system. The all-new OverDrive Aero steerer tube technology is combined with a Contact SL AeroLight stem and Contact SL handlebar to incorporate internal cable routing that integrates the top cap, cables and spacers in a more aerodynamic, user-friendly setup. - WINNING EFFICIENCY Featuring a greater stiffness-to-weight ratio than the previous generation, along with new aero tube shaping and a lighter overall weight, this uncompromising race bike delivers explosive acceleration and unyielding pedaling stiffness. The result is race-winning performance in the moments that count. - INTEGRATED AERODYNAMICS All tube shapes are engineered and developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling and wind-tunnel testing. From the truncated ellipse shape of frameset tubing to a new cockpit design and component integration, it all adds up to a more streamlined profile that improves overall aero performance compared to the previous generation. MADE FASTER This versatile road racer combines race-winning stiffness-to-weight with aerodynamic tube shaping and system integration. From the road-smoothing Variant seatpost to the composite WheelSystem, every piece is made to perform better as a system. The new OverDrive Aero steerer tube technology is combined with a Contact SL AeroLight stem and Contact SL handlebar to incorporate new internal cable routing for easy setup and adjustment, while integrated disc brakes and generous clearance for tires up to 33mm make it adaptable to all road conditions.

Fast starts, tight corners, a blur of speed through dirt, sand, and mud. Proven by elite cyclocross pros for years, the latest TCX Advanced Pro is built to win. KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS - Elite level efficiency Advanced-grade composite frameset is 17.5 percent lighter than the previous generation while retaining its best-in-class torsional/pedaling stiffness. - Total Control Integrated disc brake technology with flat mounts and thru-axles delivers added control in variable conditions and all types of weather. - Smooth ride quality D-Fuse composite seatpost helps absorb bumps and vibrations, and you also have the option to switch to a standard 30.9mm round or dropper post depending on your riding style and terrain. HIGHLIGHTS The superlight composite frame is handcrafted with race-proven geometry and asymmetrical chainstays for optimal power transfer. The D-Fuse composite seatpost helps smooth out bumps and vibrations, and you also have the option to use a 30.9mm round standard or dropper seatpost.

The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction. AEROSYSTEM SHAPING TECHNOLOGY Through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and wind-tunnel data, engineers optimize each tube shape to deliver superior aerodynamic performance. OVERDRIVE AERO Found inside the head tube of the Defy, Propel and TCR ranges, the D-shaped fork steerer tube and corresponding spacers provide an extremely aerodynamic, easier to service system of internally routed brake and derailleur cables.

Warbird is Salsa's gravel race bike, built off years of experience racing in some of the nation’s premier gravel events. It's designed to survive and thrive on anything from the often-hazardous B-roads that make up much of the Midwest gravel scene to the fire roads that climb to the heavens on the coasts. - High-modulus carbon frame with rear thru-axle dropouts and rear rack compatibility via Rack-Lock seat collar (sold separately) - Class 5 vibration reduction system dramatically increases comfort - Waxwing carbon fork featuring a 12 x 100mm thru-axle, Three-Pack and fender mounts, mid-blade eyelets, dynamo cable routing, and flat-mount brake standard - Full-frame internal cable routing for Di2 and mechanical brakes - Toptube bag mounts on all sizes, 3 bottle mounts on sizes 56cm and up - Clearance for 40mm travel suspension forks and internal dropper post routing (1x set-ups only) - Enhanced geometry with added clearance for up to 700c x 45mm, or 650b x 54mm (2.1") - Headset included

Warroad is Salsa’s endurance all-road bike built to perform on-road, while being fully capable of off-pavement pursuits. It’s the bike for riders who don’t define a road ride by the surfaces they travel. Endurance all-road geometry, Class 5 frame Vibration Reduction System, dual wheel-size compatibility with a wide range of tire fitments, and a variety of mounting options set the Warroad apart.
