The first ever women’s cyclocross bike on the market, will enable you to aim for state championships or your first-ever cyclocross race. With a sharphandling, easy-to-shoulder, superlight ALUXX SL aluminum frame and composite fork, the TCX W gives you the confidence you need in the worst conditions. The shorter top tube and slightly higher head-tube give those of us blessed with long legs and a short torso a solid fit. For many of us familiar with riding small men’s bike with über short stems, this is the kind of news that makes gals smile. And while it’s currently only offered equipped with SRAM Rival, they will surely be more options in the future! The XS is the smallest cross bike on the market, before you need custom frames. So rejoice! Experience new-found confidence and handling!
- Aluxx-grade aluminum frame

“As part of its expanded commitment to cyclo-cross, Giant is proud to introduce the 2011 TCX W, the first made-for-women cyclocross bike from a major brand. Designed and developed with input from Giant Factory Off-Road Team rider Kelli Emmett, who raced prototype versions of the bike last fall, the new TCX W will be available to consumers this summer.” BikeRadar
