TCR SL 1 2020 vs TCR PRO 0 2021
Hey guys,
What would be a better bike between these two, TCR SL 1 disc 2020 vs TCR PRO 0 disc 2021? Both bike are at the same price.
Some points:
- SL 2020 is a better quality carbon frame and it is stiffer,
- pro 0 2021 frame has been redesigned and is more aero,
- ISP is not an issue for me as I don't travel with my bikes,
- I equally like sram and di2 so eventually I think the choice comes down to which frame is better.
Thanks

1 - They are not the same price. The SL will run you at least 1000$ more unless one is on sale.
2 - The SL is better than the Advanced for sure, but the 2021 is redesigned and better.
I'd go with the 2021. It's more than enough. If you need/want a stiffer bike, you might want to go with the SL.

Sorry mate, I didn't understand which bike you think would be better?

Are they both available in your size? Lot of 2020s are out of stock.
Honestly, you're kind of splitting hairs. The SL frame will be a bit lighter and have an ISP, but that's about it. Personally, I don't really like ISP. I don't know how the redesign of the frame will affect the ride.
What bikes do you currently have? Do you have other wheels that you could swap across these? (This is relevant as AXS is not compatible with Shimano any more.)

Get the 2021.
Sram is good but Shimano is generally considered to be more reliable and would also have better resale.
You won't pick the difference in carbon and weight of the SL.
They would of improved the frame design a bit with 2021.
Resale of ISP bikes not good, especially if you have to cut it quite a lot.

Waiting for my Dura-Ace discs to arrive (prefer the black rotors). It will be even more beautiful!
