TCX Advanced is new cyclocross bike, the result of 18 months of development with athletes of the Rabobank team.

All new the carbon monocoque frame, with separate series of steering bearings and 1 inch and 1/2 inch below and 1 and 1/8 above. The seat post is integrated, while new is the section of the three main tubes of the frame developed by the computer calculation of finite element analysis (FEA). The tubes are made of T800 carbon. The fork has straight stems.

Alongside this high-end chassis were presented three models with aluminum triple butted hydroformed, the TCX 0, TCX 1 and TCX 2. The models share the same chassis, but differ in the assembly.

The last bike is the model TCX W cyclocross for women. Always has an aluminum frame, but with specific quotas for women, even while assembly takes account of different female morphology, with folding and saddle attack crank dedicated to women.
