High strength, High Modulus Aerospace grade composite fiber called 'Fibrium' is used for better strength and rigidity in the Giant TCR Advanced, while a new, Nano resin is used to achieve a higher lamination strength to weight ratio. New Resin and fiber are being mated and woven on Giant's own in-house developed composite machine using proprietary technology. And Giant's propriety Dynamic Adaptive Tubing Technology (DAT), a special molding process, allows very efficient fiber distribution enabling the reduction of overlapping material at cross sections such as head and seattube. 7075 Aerospace Aluminum is being used for the aluminum parts (bottom bracket, dropouts and headset components) for increased strength and lower weight in the Giant TCR Advanced.
