Colnago V4Rs
Racers who want the current Colnago race brief. C68 if you want the lugged flagship.

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.
