Marketed as a gravel bike, the TCX Advanced SX is based on the well-known carbon crosser TCX Advanced Pro, which allows for a very comfortable riding position. Lightly profiled 40-millimetre tyres, handlebars with flared ends and the 1x11 Apex groupset from SRAM with hydraulic disc brakes are the ingredients that make it possible to switch from one off-road genre to another. Available in four sizes for 2,099 euros. www.giant-bicycles.com
