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

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

Flippable seatpost head
