0:22 yes out of Giant and at least 20 more brands like Look, BMC, CANYON, FOCUS, BIANCHI, WILLIER, TREK, SPECIALIZED, MERIDA, and so on nobody can make an efficient bike....
I really like Giant's bike offerings but they really need to remove Jon Swanson from these promo vids as his hostile marketing isn't doing Giant any favors. But at least it's toned down a bit in contrast to the Defy promo.
durianrider In the Defy promo, Jon Swanson blatantly stated Specialized Zertz inserts and Trek's Isospeed Decoupler straight up gimmicks. He also went way out and said the Cannondale Synapse is so plush that it cannot even be considered a serious race bike. Zertz inserts? I could give him that.. but Trek's decoupler a gimmick? no... just no... As far as I am concern with the Synapse, that bike is a first of it's kind and an engineering marvel and Garmin/Cannondale are not brain farts that races Roubaix or Flanders with a bike which is not "race ready". In this video, he states that other companies has not figured out how to balance stiff/light/aero/comfort like Giant has. Really? This year's 2016 bikes are ALL ABOUT the balance as an INDUSTRY TREND. 2016 Scott Foil, 2016 Trek Madone, Cannondale SuperSix, Bianchi Specialissima. Here's the thing, is it really necessary to bash other bike companies when the TCR could very well speak for itself? The 2016 TCR just got better than ever with a frame molded like liquid art and great unique tech like compact geo and ISP, it doesn't need help of a marketing douche talking down other bikes. I love Giant with a passion but these promos just leave a bad taste in my mouth. If this actually increases sales for Giant then well... good for Giant I guess but it shows that somewhere in there they have a lack of character. Totally in line with +OhAiShare hostile marketing isn't doing Giant any favors.
+Francis Lai bro did you know Giant make most of those brands you mentioned? As for 'hostile marketing' go for a ride thru Syria right now and tell them that you found Swanson's opinion on other bicycle designs 'offensive and hostile' lol! Come on brah! Its fucking marketing at the end of the day and if you design a better product and on paper you have proof then fucking lets hear it I say. All it does is raise the bar for other companies to jump for and the end product is a better result for the end user like you and me. Less complaining and more fucking training!
+durianrider "its fucking marketing, and at the the end of the day, its a better end product for end users like you and me." alright Harley, but didn't you cringe a little when he talked smack about other bikes? I have never seen other brands bash others so openly before.. in any other promo video. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised you like these videos when you are such an advocate for anti-bullshit. wanna watch a real promo video, go watch the canyon promos in German with English subtitles. that's where the bar is.
Swanson was great for Giant. He really got them some serious performance cred.
@0:54 that T-Mobile TCR in the backgroound
Is it as stiff as Lawson Craddock's line delivery?
Sweet!
The color choice for the Advanced range are kinda basic.
i would like to add TCR Advanced 3, but i don't really like that yellow color
How can you guys call this all new? If it truly new? How does it differ from the 2017 model?
