Colnago V4Rs
Racers who want the current Colnago race brief. C68 if you want the lugged flagship.
UAE Team Emirates' race bike. Stiff, aero-enough, and a millimetre size run (420–590) that needs a geometry chart, not a letter size.

Fast road riders who want aero on Giant's chart. TCR is the lighter, more conventional sibling.
Giant's aero race bike. Stiffer at the front, more wind-cheating than TCR, still in the same size-letter family so many riders can twin the two.
Right now, Nino Schurter and Scott's pros. Someday soon, us mere mortals. This bike is for the folks who need cutting edge and aren't afraid of the early-adopter tax.
We don't know yet. The press and Scott have been tight-lipped. But we bet there's going to be some fun to be had now that 32" wheels seem to be making their way over from mountain bikes to gravel.
