TCX Dartwood Boots Review
The TCX Dartwood’s form is reminiscent of popular sneakers form the world of skateboarding, but it presents itself with an all-over more mature and classy look. You would never know it, but this well-executed boot is kitted out with some impressive and modern features, delivering style and protection in equal measure.

Ever-popular motorcycle footwear brand TCX have introduced their ZPLATE technology across various styles in their 2021 offering, the Dartwood included. This addition is essentially a shank within the midsole itself that aids flexibility to give the boot a natural flex more akin to your every day casual footwear. This shank not only achieves this natural flexibility, but it provides transverse rigidity to protect your feet from all directions should you run into trouble while on your bike.
The Dartwood also incorporates a Groundtrax outer sole. This sole is made from a highly wear-resistant, dirt-repelling rubber compound and features carefully arranged lugs and grooves that will give you ample traction on both your footpegs and the ground. The underside even includes a dedicated gear selector tread to keep those downshifts precise.
In the safety department, the Dartwood is well reinforced and protected. The Malleolus area features newly developed low profile inserts from D3O that have ‘Non-Newtonian’ characteristics. This means that the molecules within the armour flow freely in their standard form, but their viscosity can change to become more solid under force. In English: the Dartwood is super comfortable to wear but is set up to take an impact and keep you safe!

Miloš Milošević : Would you suggest these shoes for colder weather, autumn and spring season?
Also, I would go with gore-tex, but maybe the other one would be warmer? What are your thoughts?
Brenton Simpson : It's too bad Rokker doesn't make a boot with a zipper (or Boa laces). They make the nicest boots I've ever seen, but it's hard to beat the convenience of a quick entry.
Scoot Jockey : The honycome sole does it for me.
Roz : Can you shed some light on sizing say compared to Nikes and the like?
Anhnole : Torn between this and the TCX Hero WP boots :(

2021 Giant TCX Advanced Pro review: CX meets gravel
Since 2009, the TCX cyclocross bike has been a mainstay of Giant’s range. It has found a great deal of success over the years in World Championships, the cobbled classics, the daily commute, and on the sales floor.
Almost inadvertently, midway through last decade, the TCX added another string to its bow. Giant was conspicuously slow to jump on the gravel bandwagon, so those duties fell to the TCX too. While the Revolt eventually plugged that gap in Giant’s line-up, the TCX can still quite happily blur some lines between gravel and cyclocross – especially if you don’t overthink things too much.
At the 2021 CyclingTips Field Test in Bright, Victoria, Australia, we had the opportunity to put the Giant Revolt Advanced and Giant TCX Advanced, in similar spec levels, to the test. Part of that was in pursuit of a deeper understanding of the differences between gravel and cyclocross bikes – two circles of a Venn diagram that, at a glance, have plenty of overlap. But while we’ve reviewed the Revolt before, we are yet to take a closer look at the latest iteration of the TCX, so we figured it was as good a time as any for a standalone review.

David Harper : They're really breaking boundaries with these paint jobs, this is crazy creative. This will turn heads for sure.
Dane Kromer : I have ridden my 2017 TCX advanced pro in countless gravel races including the 240 mile Day Across Minnesota. I have to disagree with your assessment about comfort and I wonder what you consider a long ride?! Please remember that comfort starts with your tires and I would never run CX tires on a “long” gravel ride. I’m also curious as to the pressure you were running. I have been running 43mm tires, tubeless, at 32 PSI on the TCX with plenty of remaining clearance front and back. If you want to test a bike for gravel riding, set it up appropriately. While it is easy to add bags and bottle cages that don’t need bike mounts, the TCX was obviously not designed as an adventure bike. That said, the TCX has a responsive yet stable feel on gravel and it just feels fast! I added a second chainring to the stock FSA crankset and a front derailleur to get the gearing I wanted. It is also likely that you can run a 42 tooth cassette even though Shimano states a limit of 34. If not, add a $20 Wolf Tooth Road Link and go wild with 46T!
Ray Soares : Missing a point here: get an extra set of wheels with 28c tyres and you have a stiff and aggressive road bike. Two bike in one right there!
chewingthehandlebars : Really enjoying these reviews. Thanks for putting them together.
That gear ratio for bikepacking is blowing my mind! Sounds like Wade's training for the Epic is going well
Simon Baus : I'm currently rebuilding my old 2016 TCX sl1 with some new Parts. Some 650B x 47 tires (yes they fit in the 2016 version as well, I tested this befor pulling the trigger) and a Sram Rival 1x and a wide spread 11-46 cassette. I'm pretty confident that this will be a really fun ride as its stiff and snappy enough to hammer thru muddy forrest sections and capable to go over various other terrain as you would expect from a Cyclocross bike.
