The Giant Propel is one of the top aero road bikes that we've ridden, and it just might give the Giant TCR a run for its place in the lineup.

Dec 2024 · Will Jones
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
May 2023 · Simon von Bromley
A brilliant all-rounder aero road bike that offers a fast, fun ride at a competitive price
Excellent balance of aero and lightweight
Great value build
Fast ride feel
Confident handling
A few slightly old-school spec choices
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
