Giant Propel Advanced 0 2016 - Road Bike

Dominate the race with an aero road bike offering best-in-class aero shaping with sharp yet stable handling. The Giant Propel Advanced 0 is your ticket to the podium. The Propel is a steed for anybody who wants proper road speed - road racers, triathletes and speed demons.

Frame & Fork

Key to the race winning performance of the Propel aero racer is Giant’s Advanced Grade composite frame. Only the highest grade raw carbon fibres are used, because of their high stiffness to weight ratio. The resin incorporates vibration damping particles to keep you feeling less fatigued as you clock up the miles.

Constructed as a modified monocoque, the single piece front triangle is joined to the rear stays. This eliminates the need for the outermost composite sheet so every unnecessary gram is shaved off the frame, without compromising the ride quality, strength or stiffness.

The 2016 Propel Advanced 0 is race ready, right out the box with advanced Aerosystem shaping technology. Each tube is optimised using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and honed with wind tunnel data. By combining these technologies air turbulence is minimised around the frame for incredible speed.

Down low is Giant’s oversized bottom bracket area (PowerCore) that provides solid stiffness that won’t budge when you’re putting the power down. Upfront front is an OverDrive steerer and Advanced Grade composite fork for ultimate stiffness and knife edge steering. Take corners at speed in confidence.

Components

Experience the benefits of electronic shifting with the legendary Shimano Ultegra Di2 11 speed groupset. Ultra fast and precise this system gives you the most efficiency from your input. Additional shift buttons can be positioned where you want them for a custom setup. Giant SpeedControl brakes are designed for aero efficiency as well as stopping power.

Giant’s SL 1 Aero wheelsystem is ideal for the Propel. A deep 55mm rim profile helps you slice through wind while the carbon / alloy hybrid rim reduces weight. The tyres are specifically made for these wheels.

Shaving weight off the frame is a full composite Vector seatpost, aero designed for minimal drag.
