2023 Giant Propel Advanced SL 0 XS

AeroSystem Shaping, a result of CFD analysis and dynamic wind-tunnel testing, optimizes aerodynamic performance at every yaw angle. The truncated ellipse airfoil tube shapes and Contact SLR Aero cockpit produce outstanding overall aero performance.

All-new cable routing through the handlebar and frame makes it quicker and easier to adjust or change cockpit components and fine-tune performance and riding position.

Advanced SL-grade composite frameset features Giant’s pro-level composite materials and manufacturing processes. The result is 225 grams of weight savings compared to the previous generation and an even greater stiffness-to-weight advantage.

Features may include:

This all-new aero road machine is designed and engineered for one main purpose: speed. With its AeroSystem Shaping technology and race-winning efficiency, it’s the bike of choice for the WorldTour sprinters on Team BikeExchange-Jayco and the world’s fastest triathletes. The tubes feature a truncated ellipse shape for a frame that is both ultra-stiff and superlight. Now 225 grams lighter than the previous generation, it offers a competitive edge when it matters most.

• AEROSYSTEM SHAPING

Through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and wind-tunnel data, engineers optimize each tube shape to deliver superior aerodynamic performance.

• ADVANCED SL COMPOSITE

Professional-grade raw carbon material is woven in our own composite factory using our most advanced engineering and construction methods including Continuous Fiber Technology, CNT Technology and Fusion Process.

• AERO TUBELESS WHEELSYSTEM

Engineered with proprietary Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology, this aero WheelSystem and tubeless tires deliver superior efficiency, pinpoint control and supreme aerodynamics.

• VECTOR INTEGRATED SEATPOST

Designed as a key performance factor in the overall frameset, the integrated seatpost saves up to 45 grams compared to standard composite posts, while improving aerodynamics and adding road-smoothing compliance.

• OVERDRIVE AERO

Found inside the head tube of the all-new Propel range, the D-shaped fork steerer tube and corresponding spacers provide an extremely aerodynamic, easier to service system of internally routed brake and derailleur cables.

• FULL COMPOSITE FORK

D-shaped steerer tube and legs are constructed entirely from Giant’s Advanced SL-grade composite for the lightest weight and superior handling.

• POWERCORE

A massively oversized bottom bracket area features a fully integrated 86.5mm wide design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.

• NEW CABLE ROUTING

Frame and handlebar feature all-new cable porting for sleek, non-cluttered appearance and easier adjustability.

• DISC-BRAKE INTEGRATION

The frame and fork are engineered specifically for flat-mount disc-brakes, including front and rear 12mm thru-axles for reliable braking performance in all weather and road conditions.

• AERO HANDLEBAR/STEM

Aero handlebar and stem are designed to reduce overall drag while minimizing weight.

• AERO BOTTLE CAGES

Custom-engineered down tube and seat tube-specific water bottle cages help minimize overall aerodynamic drag.
