2012 TCR Advanced 0

The TCR Advanced has a conventional seatmast and is supposed to be 15% more comfortable because of this. It is made out of Toray’s T-700 fibers. The dropouts and bottom bracket sleeve is made out of aluminum, and the whole design uses a more modular monocoque construction.

The claimed weight of the frame drops from 968g to 908g, and the new fork adds only an extra 368g. It comes in a women’s-specific version with a slightly longer head tube and shortened top tube. There are three models available in Taiwan (plus another model for the women’s-specific line). The top range TCR Advanced 0 comes with Shimano Ultegra Di2, which is great way to get into the electronic gruppos.
