Introducing the all new 2023 Giant Propel range
Introducing the all new Gaint Propel Advanced SL 0 at Giant Ride. There’s a reason why the Giant Propel Advanced SL 0 (2023) made its public debut at the 2022 Tour de France. This is a road bike that has been engineered to give pro racer Dylan Groenewegen of Team BikeExchange-Jayco a competitive advantage. After years of engineering and development, followed by additional testing at smaller races earlier this year, Groenewegen introduced the new Propel Advanced SL to the world with one of the biggest wins of his career at Stage 3 of the Tour.
HOLISTIC BUILD This 2023 iteration is measurably faster in aerodynamic testing than its predecessor. The frameset is also 225 grams lighter and 9.2 percent stiffer overall. Because of its AeroSystem Shaping Technology, this model is able to deliver a more holistic alignment in analyzing every tube, junction, angle and component. The AeroSystem Shaping is what led engineers to use the signature truncated ellipse airfoil shapes that can be found in key areas of the frameset including the down tube, seat tube and seat stays.
DRAG SUPREMACY This build has a slimmer, more nuanced aesthetic—the frontal sections, where aerodynamics matter most, feature sculpted lines and that truncated ellipse shape to minimize drag. The two different water bottle cages (one for the down tube, one for the seat tube) are designed to minimise aerodynamic drag for each of these specific tubes. The new proprietary Contact SLR Aero handlebar and stem also reduce drag, as do the new CADEX 50 wheels and CADEX Aero tires.
STIFFNESS-TO-RATIO Crafted with Giant’s most premium raw carbon fiber and cutting-edge manufacturing techniques to achieve a greater stiffness-to-weight ratio than the previous generation. Tests show that the new frameset is not only one of the lightest in the aero road category, but it also achieves significant gains in stiffness. Lighter weight plus increased stiffness equals better efficiency on the road.
