What actually separates them

Weight
The Giant TCX Advanced Pro 1 is 2.0kg lighter, which you notice on long climbs more than anywhere else.
Riding position
The Giant TCX Advanced Pro 1 sits you more upright (1.49 stack-to-reach against 1.45). The BMC URS 01 LT ONE is the more aggressive of the two — quicker if you can hold it, harder work if you cannot.
Tyre clearance
The BMC URS 01 LT ONE takes 47mm tyres against 45mm — the single most common thing buyers wish they had more of.
Climbing gear
The BMC URS 01 LT ONE has the easier bottom gear (20 gear inches against 30), which matters more than weight on anything genuinely steep.
Mudguards
Only the BMC URS 01 LT ONE takes mudguards, which decides whether it can be your winter bike.
