Key differences

Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.

  1. Frame geometry

    2016 Giant TCX Advanced Pro 2 has 10 mm more reach than 2018 Giant TCX Advanced Pro 2 in the selected sizes.

    More reach puts the head-tube reference farther forward, not necessarily the hands.

  2. Frame geometry

    2016 Giant TCX Advanced Pro 2 has 16 mm more stack than 2018 Giant TCX Advanced Pro 2 in the selected sizes.

    More stack places the frame reference higher, not necessarily the handlebar.

  3. Handling

    2018 Giant TCX Advanced Pro 2 has a 0.5° slacker head-tube angle than 2016 Giant TCX Advanced Pro 2 in the selected sizes.

    Fork offset, tire size and wheelbase also affect steering; head angle alone is not a handling verdict.

  4. Gearing

    2018 Giant TCX Advanced Pro 2 has a 14% lower climbing ratio than 2016 Giant TCX Advanced Pro 2.

    A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.

Geometry overlay

Frames share one scale and a bottom-bracket alignment. Size labels differ by brand; schematic drawing aids are identified below.

Gearing comparison

Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.

RPM

RPM = pedal turns per minute.

Rear tire: 700C×33.

How it works

Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.

Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
