Awesome video as always Dave. 👌 Looking forward to the new TCR advanced pro 0 video when you get your hands on it over here, having just pre ordered one.

I bought the previous model with 105 Di2, put giant carbon wheels and better tyres on it straight away….i love it, rides so well and plenty quick enough for my ability level. Giant do offer great value for the money

15k for a bike , it is a pure madness and I suspect the other brands to price collusion. Decathlon wins with a bike which is 5k less and as stiff and well equipped. All the others brand will have to come back to reality and stop this madness.

I've found that mine has an awful amoung of chain slap. Any tips from others?

..."provided you upgrade the wheels and tyres"....sums up Giant bikes...great value, great bikes...but I wish I could order one without the stock Giant wheels

Illustrative video, but there are more details to considerate about purge brake systems. One of them (and maybe the most important to me) is first remove brake calipers and clean pistons after purge them. Caliper has to be vertical. This ensures that the air is removed.

With a tire and wheel upgrade you made it an 8kg bike. You really have to want to spend more to justify Ultegra or Dura-Ace Di2.

My aluminum alloy wheels are more lighter than your Damn carbon wheels my aluminum alloy wheelset weighs around 1184g rear wheel 40mm 24h and 1023g front wheel 40mm 24h and my frame weighs around 1634g and carbon fork 380g in total 6.2kg

Since when are 3000 pounds not big money? Cycling world is crazy

It should have carbon wheels and better tyres as standard for £3k plus. I have the equivalent of those on my Revolt, the px2 wheels which are over 2kg of landfill!

I guess everyone has different definitions of “Big Money”.

I bought the same looking bag for 20 bucks. You must consider how many times you plan to open it. Seriously I bike year around and opened it 2 times for a flat. 60 with tax on this bag is way over priced.

I remember riding this in the early 90s when I was racing. Didn’t really know what to expect as I rode out of Ambleside with nothing more than 39/24. Tackling those 1 in 3 hairpins felt like my groin was going to split🤣🤣Mind you, the bloody sheep made for an interesting descent, as did the cattle grids!!!

I just want the frameset

I have the 2022 model and it checks all the boxes

A great upgrade to this bike would be Shimano Rs710-c32 wheels. Carbon rims with a modern design, only 1504g and part of the 105 series, so match the Di2 spec. With some nice Vittoria Corsa NeXT 32c tyres and latex tubes, or go tubeless. You’d be all in for under £4k and what a great bike you’d have. I still love my Roubaix SL8 though!

Thank you. A great and detailed review

Thank you for the help. this was the first carbon fork Ive tried to get the slop out of. It turns out the head cap bolt had bottomed out on the expansion sleeve and wasnt functioning properly. I had to use a pair of pliers to hold the shaft of the expansion sleeve and use an allen wrench to get the cap undone. I just added another spacer up top and it seems to be good now

It's like you read the dilemma in my mind. Been toying with going cheaper model and upgrade over more expensive. I think you convinced me to go cheaper though as I'd still end up upgrading stuff on the more expensive one and could be down at 7.8kg with a nice light weight set of carbon hoops and 28mm or 30mm GP 5000S TRs.

Always need a rotor wrench with Shimano rotors! I've had 3 sets of Ice Tech floating rotors warped out box. Just garbage.

Take a look at the new Propain Terrel CF!

Dave... unless simething has changed your description of giant levels doesnt match what i have experienced: the advanced and the pro cannot be the same frame because the steerer on the pro and sl has a different size to the advanced. The steerer is thicker uses bigger bearings and is the reason you cannot swap out a normal stem on an advanced or pro bike. I belive giant calls the system overdrive 2. The idea is similar to a tapered steerer on a mountain bike (in that it is a tapered steerer) but they also run a bigger bearing up top 1.25 instead of 1.125. Hence the need for special stem... my tcr is running a zip stem which comes with set .125 shims to let you adjust stem angle. I am running it without a shim.

any idea why they are sticking with press-fit bb? the brands focusing on genuine quality are all moving over to threaded at this point on most new models..

Here's a fiver for ya! Thank you so much! I keep your video saved offline, share with everyone I know, and laude your space creation technique every chance I get!

Just bought a near mint condition, 2nd hand 2020 TCR Adv Pro Compact and a pair of Hunt Superdura Aero wheels for less than £1500 all in.

I bought this exact bike and had a set of carbon wheels already I swapped on to this and added nice tyres. Its an excellent summer climbing bike and very nice winter bike with full mudguards. Is it as fast as a full aerobike...nope, but its still pretty speedy for an endurance and the handling is great. Comfort is pretty good but not outstanding. I had the old defy and found it just a bit too upright so the new geometry is spot on for me. The saddle is comfy but heavy, you can save a lot of weight there. Basically I agree with what David said in his review.

Entry level? Isn’t my Canyon Endurace 8 AL Disc entry level?

Shame you can't buy it as a frameset

I was down in Keswick to do an xc event, but it got rained off, so seeing as I was in the area I went and done this instead. I preferred the climb to the descent.

I'm riding a Fixie..... The performance is amazing.... Shifting works better than any groupset on the market.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Would have been better to fit mechanical 105 with better wheels and tyres.

Great vid Dave. 🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️”JUST RIDE”

I want a bike for my 25km (50 round trip) commute. The elevation gain on the return is 400m. I am considering this specific model. Thanks for posting!

Wanted to swap my Canyon Ultimate for a Defy becasuse i wanted to try a more relaxed geometry but the 2024 Defy geo is more stretched out from older models so now its not that far for the Ultimate geo. Waiting now for Canyon Endurace to stock up.

I bought this model. I also considered the Advanced Pro. Beautiful bike, but I already had a set of carbon wheels and I’m not 100% confident of hookless wheels. Wrapped my carbon wheels in GP5000 STR and put the stock wheel and tire set away as a back-up/ winter set. I am absolutely thrilled. It feels so fast, nimble and comfortable.

honestly , flashy parts are nice for race day, but when you really cycling every day ,all you want is something that just works , and is cheap to maintain.

Here’s a shop tip: when you get to the end of your wrap and you need three hands, take your spanner tool and push it down over your drop bars to hold the tape. The spanner will hold the tension of the wrap while you cut the end of the tape. 👍

3:28 There isn't a d-shaped steerer, it is normal round profile. Another plus compared to the more expensive models.

Great review keep it up!

We are normalizing 3000 pounds as entry lvl now?

I have this bike and I love it

I love my 2018 specialized Roubaix

Good review, so hard to find Giant 105 di2 endurance bikes in stock here in Canada.

Carbono frame in speed ok, MTB no because fall.....

So, air leaking around the valve is normal when converting to tubeless? I am trying around for days and can't get the tyre on the rim without the leaking of air..., I thought If I can't install the tyre air tight, I doesn't make sense to fill in the tubeless milk. Am I doing it wrong?

I have this model and I did upgrade the wheels to Carbon & cranks to GRX for even easier gearing when you have COPD every breath is a struggle they say you can't fit GRX cranks 2mm+ offset over 105 but with some careful tweaking it does. and it works great with no issues at all.

Sorry..i want my hyperbike...even though im not hyper. Tell all the guys with Harleys that they only need a scooter...or the new vet, classic Porsche you on my need a civic. Some of us can now finally afford the stuff that makes us want to get on the bike. Or get out and rude the Harley. Its not about just function for sone of us.

Hi, I brought mine in February and nearly done 900km on it. Absolutely great bike, love it! Thankfully I had some other wheels and tyres that's the only downside. But would recommend to anyone¡

But even that bike is spending big, it's still alot of money

Have a 2022 Roadmachine One in 51. For an endurance bike, the geometry is more race-oriented (aggressive?). Didn't hear a discussion of the revised geometry for this year--shorter reach (379mm v 382mm), taller stack (550mm v 541mm), and shorter top tube (532mm v 537mm)--intended to give a slightly more upright riding position. Ngl, not seeing any upgrades here that would compel a change. For those of us running 28s and staying on the road, the wider allowance is a null point, and that light is set to become an annoyance.
