Nick Posted June 1, 2015 Share Giant first entered the aero road bike game in 2013 with the launch of their Propel Advanced SL. Tests showed that, at 40 kph, the Propel Advanced SL saves 12-36 seconds over 40 kilometres. Third-party wind-tunnel tests showed that the Propel Advanced SL is more aerodynamic from every yaw angle tested when compared to other leading aero road bikes.

Odinson Posted June 1, 2015 Share I guess that time gain will probably be negated when you slap on two bottle cages and bottles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock Posted June 1, 2015 Share first thing to do would be for the LBS to fit a matching 105 crank......poor move by Giant there. IH8MUD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted June 1, 2015 Share It would look much better with the ISP. It's the only bit that looks "out" to me.Otherwise a stunning bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeegMig Posted June 1, 2015 Share Would like to see what a XL looks like.Some bikes look good as S or M but looses it's hot-ness when it grows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatek Posted June 1, 2015 Share I have a Venge but there is just something about the propel. I would also love to have a test ride on 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvdm1 Posted June 1, 2015 Share "Tests showed that, at 40 kph, the Propel Advanced SL saves 12-36 seconds over 40 kilometres." - Is it just me or does this not make sense at all? At 40 kph even the heaviest, bulkiest bike you can find will still do 40km in one hour. If they said at 40kph it saves a certain amount of energy over 40km i.e. less work done by drag, that would make sense. Either way, I must agree, it is a good looking bike.
