Trinity
Advanced SL
It’s the bike that delivered Ironman
European Champion Timo Bracht to his
best-ever season in 2009.
A lightweight, efficient and radically shaped machine designed to cheat the
wind and give every competitive triathlete—from Ironman pros to aspiring
age groupers—an aerodynamic advantage. “Theres no question the Trinity
Advanced SL helped me set a new course record at the Ironman European
Championship in Germany,” Bracht said. “Having a bike that’s been proven
fastest in the wind tunnel is a huge boost for my confidence.”
Designed with additional input from the Rabobank Pro Cycling Team and
laid-up by hand at Giant’s C-Tech composite manufacturing facility, the
Trinity Advanced SL is your ultimate ally in the battle against the clock.

1 AeroDrive
Features: Trinity Advanced SL’s aerodynamic
stem-and-fork control center places the rider in
the most aerodynamic position of any bike on
the market today. Its patented design is the first
on the market to solidly interlock the stem, fork
steerer tube and fork crown—creating not only
the most aerodynamic design on the market but
also the stiffest-steering front end available.
Time-trial specialists can now upgrade the
stock frameset with an optional AeroDrive TT kit
to compete under the latest UCI TT regulations.
Benefit: The ultra-aero and incredibly stiff
AeroDrive control center allows the racer to
slice through the wind while also offering
complete front-end control—even through
hard cornering. A full range of included sizing
options allow each rider to custom-tune
AeroDrive to their specific needs.
3 MegaDrive
Features: The massive aerodynamic
downtube and highly profiled toptube work
in unison to provide breakthrough levels of
front-end steering precision.
Benefit: Both tubes work together to create
the most efficient and aerodynamic design
on the market.
2 SpeedControl
Features: Trinity Advanced SL’s
proprietary braking system provides
powerful, aerodynamic stopping power.
A custom-designed, reverse-position front
brake and chainstay-mounted rear brake
help minimize airow interruption.
Benefit: SpeedControl offers a total
braking solution that’s both powerful and
aerodynamic. The system allows you to
effectively reduce speed when you need to
and is virtually invisible to the wind.
4 PowerCore
Features: A massively oversize bottom
bracket/chainstay area features a fully
integrated, 86-millimeter-wide bottom bracket
design. Tying the bottom bracket
to the rear of the frame are the asymmetrical
chainstays, which provide additional stiffness
on the driveside and extra stability on the
non-driveside.
Benefit: The next-generation, fully integrated
bottom bracket standard and intelligent
chainstay design provide unprecedented
pedaling stiffness.
5 Vector SLR
Features: This full-composite, lightweight
and highly aerodynamic seatpost is engineered
specifically for the demands of the aero’
competitor. A fully enclosed, internal seatclamp
system locks the post into position without any
disruption to critical airflow. Three offset
positions (0, 10 and 23 millimeters) allow for a
fine-tuned, perfect fit.
Benefit: Increased fore-aft stiffness results
in maximum energy transmission, plus
outstanding aerodynamic efficiency.
