For riding local trails and weekend touring, the Focus Mares Ax 1.0 2016 or Giant TCX SLR 1 2014?

Focus- SRAM Apex, hydro brakes
Giant, SRAM Rival & hydro brakes.

How do you want to mount your luggage? The Mares has rack mounts.

The Giant has a recommended luggage weight of 14kg. I'm not sure why, perhaps because of the funky D shaped seatpost.

It doesn't have any rack mounts, well mine doesn't at least, but apparently you can get a modified seat clamp that does.

I like my TCX a lot, but it's more of a race bike than a light tourer.
