I've detailed in this
thread here what the changes appear to be and it is pretty trivial, Giant just made the 2017 Toughroad SLR 1 a more compelling buy.
Spec wise the differences seem on the 2017 SLR 1 appear to be :
Different saddle(Giant Contact Neutral) vs 2016's Giant Connect, forward
Different brakes(TRP Slate X2, hydraulic disc, 160mm) vs 2016's Shimano M396 & levers(Tektro Slate X2) vs 2016's Shimano M395
Different tyres(Giant Sycamore S) vs 2016's Maxxis Maxxlite 29x2.0"
