Summary

The Giant Propel is a cutting-edge aero road bike that excels in speed and stiffness, making it a top choice for racers. It features impressive aerodynamics and a snappy handling, though it can be challenging in crosswinds and offers a firmer ride quality. The bike's integrated components and design prioritize performance, sometimes at the expense of practicality.

Pros
  • Cutting edge aero road bike

  • Very stiff bottom bracket and headtube

  • Noticeably aero in headwinds

  • Descends wonderfully

  • Feels fast

Cons
  • Not the smoothest ride

  • Tough to control in the crosswinds

  • Integrated components are not always the best for practicality and serviceability

  • No quick release for the braking system

  • Changing to a different bar size can be an involved process

Key Quotes
The Giant Propel is the first aero road bike in the history of VeloLab to score best in both the tunnel and lab. It’s a fast, stiff bike, without question.

Nov 2013

Giant was a latecomer to the aerobike trend which saw their Propel launched at the beginning of 2013 after an exhaustive 88 revisions. In that time we've seen a full WorldTour season unfold with Belkin riding the Propel at various races and I’ve finally had the chance to test one out for myself. Before the ride The
