Streamlined Composite Aero road bike
Maximize your wattage for sprints, breakaways and solo attacks. This aero racing machine was built to give you a real advantage against the wind. Because small advantages lead to big victories. With AeroSystem shaping technology and an advanced carbon frameset, the new Propel Advanced combines proven aero performance with one of the lightest framesets in its category. The fully integrated cable routing through the stem and head tube allows for quick and easy adjustment and setting of the rider's position. The lightweight, easily adjustable Vector Carbon seatpost further minimizes drag.
Highlights of the Giant PROPEL ADVANCED 1 - Carbon Road Bike - 2024
- Integrated disc brakes deliver powerful braking performance and modulation for added control in changeable weather.
- Carbon in the frame, fork, rims and seatpost bring the weight down to 8.6kg (size M).
- Flat suspensions and thru-axles increase stiffness and improve overall handling.
- The aero wheel system with patented Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology and tubeless tires offers outstanding efficiency.
- Lightning-fast, electronic and wireless shifting with the SRAM Rival eTap AXS 2x12-speed groupset.
- Specially designed aero bottle cages for the down tube and seat tube help to minimize drag.
Technologies of the Giant PROPEL ADVANCED 1
- Advanced Composite Technologie - GIANT's high-performance carbon fiber is used to make this special carbon frame material, which is woven and processed at the GIANT factory and has an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front frame triangle is molded as a single piece. The modified monocoque construction eliminates the outer braided composite layer. This reduces weight without compromising ride quality, stability or stiffness.
- AeroSystem Shaping Technology - Using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and wind tunnel data, engineers optimize each tube shape for superior aerodynamics.
- OverDrive - Built for unparalleled steering precision, the system's extra-large headset bearings (1 1/4" bottom, 1 1/8" top) and tapered steerer provide unmatched front-end stiffness.
- Tubeless System - Fewer punctures. Better traction. Less rolling resistance. GIANT's tubeless system makes mounting easier and provides extra riding fun.
- Aero handlebar/stem - Reduces drag while minimizing weight.
- Vector Seatpost - This lightweight and highly aerodynamic seatpost has been specially developed for road riding.
