Summary
The Giant Propel is a versatile aero bike that balances aerodynamic efficiency with comfort, making it suitable for all-day rides. It features a stable and confident ride on descents, with neutral handling that appeals to a wide range of riders. However, it faces criticism for its integrated seatpost and narrow stock tyres, which may not suit everyone's preferences.
Excellent balance of aero and lightweight
Comfortable enough for all-day riding
Stable on high-speed descents
Confident handling
Great value build
Narrow tyres as stock
Integrated seatpost is annoying to live with
Lacks a touch of the snappiness of some other race bikes
Pedalling platform could be given a little more heft
Aesthetics are subjective but hard to get pulse racing
It’s an excellent bike, and worthy of being in the conversation when discussing the best on the market.
Cycling NewsThe Giant Propel is an aero bike that with the right wheelset happily works as an all-rounder.
Cycling NewsThe Propel Advanced Pro 0 AXS delivers brilliant performance and value.

Launched in 2022, the Giant Propel is an aero bike with softer edges that makes it an excellent all-rounder
Genuine all-round capability
Comfortable enough for all-day riding
Separate bars mean easier and cheaper fit adjustment
Stable on high-speed descents
Narrow tyres as stock
Better with deeper wheels
Not as aero or as cheap as the Factor Ostro VAM
Integrated seatpost is annoying to live with

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
Dec 2022 · James Huang
Aerodynamic, very lightweight, great ride quality, solid pricing, and it even looks good – what more could you ask for?
Oct 2022 · Sam Challis
The new Propel might just be the most complete race bike out there
Light weight
Fast and reactive ride feel
Adjustable front end
Excellent spec
