Summary
The Giant Propel is celebrated for its aero efficiency, blending speed with a surprisingly comfortable ride. It's lighter and stiffer than previous models, with improved aerodynamics and a redesigned cockpit for easier adjustments. While it excels in speed and handling, some riders may find the proprietary components and integrated seatpost limiting.
Lighter and stiffer than previous models
More aerodynamically efficient
Improved stiffness-to-weight ratio
Redesigned for a smoother ride
Space for tyres up to 30mm
Integrated seatpost may be a limiting factor
Proprietary stem and bar system
High price point
Limited to 25mm tyres for racers
It’s neither the lightest bike nor the most comfortable on the market but that’s not what it’s designed to be.
Cycling NewsIt's the first aero bike I've ridden with none of the usually associated disadvantages, and my time on it was an unmitigated joy from start to finish.
CyclistThe Giant Propel Advanced SL 0 is a true do-it-all road bike with few compromises.

Latest models from Giant's aero bike range are efficient, comfortable, and good value
May 2023 · Calvin Zajac
Are aero bikes as good as they will get? Not according to GIANT who promise to step it up a notch with the new Propel Advanced SL. But how?
Aerodynamically integrated bottle cage
Harmonious and organic design language
Components, finish, and performance match the overall concept
No flops

Aerodynamic, very lightweight, great ride quality, solid pricing, and it even looks good – what more could you ask for?

New Giant aero rig breaks cover.
Jun 2020 · Marc Abbott
The Giant Propel Advanced 2 is a disc-equipped aero speed machine that rewards committed riding
Pinpoint handling
Wheels perform well in crosswinds
Integrated build
Tubeless as standard
Fiddly set-up
Saddle isn’t ideal
Carrying a bit of extra timber
Many Ultegra bikes available at this price
Apr 2020 · Colin Levitch
Rides like a ruby-red American muscle car
Straight-line speed of a drag racer
Firm but comfortable ride quality
Measured approach to cockpit integration
A bit heavy on the scale
Mar 2019 · Simon Smythe
The Giant Propel Advanced 1 is an aero bike with a lot of clever, wind-cheating details and a great spec at a very competitive price
Aerodynamic
Light
Geometry not too aggressive
Good spec for the price
Not as straightforward to fettle as a non-aero bike
