Propel Advanced
Algupära
Giant tõi Propeli turule 2013. aastal oma esimese spetsiaalse aerodünaamilise maanteerattana, mis arendati koostöös Blanco Pro Cycling Teamiga (hiljem Belkin/LottoNL-Jumbo). Platvorm uuendati 2018. aastal ainult ketaspiduritega ja taas 2023. aastal kergema, paindlikuma raamiga, mis kasutab AeroSystem Shapingut — CFD ja tuuletunneliga häälestatud kärbitud tiivaprofiiliga torusid. Praegune 2027. aasta mudeliaasta uuendus säilitab integreeritud Contact SLR aero roolisüsteemi, Vector aero istmeposti ja 50 mm sügavusega komposiitveljed, kuid vähendab raami väidetavat kaalu, lähendades seda universaalsele TCR-ile. Toodetud Gianti Taichungi komposiitmaterjalide tehases.
Tehnilised andmed
- Raam
- Advanced-grade Composite carbon, modular monocoque construction with AeroSystem Shaping (truncated-ellipse airfoil tubes, CFD + wind-tunnel tuned); 12x142mm thru-axle, disc-only. Advanced SL trims use SL-grade composite; 2023 redesign trimmed ~225 g vs previous gen, claimed ~6.21 W faster at 40 km/h.
- Kaal
- kg
- Jõuülekanne
- Shimano 105 R7100 mechanical 12-speed, 52/36 crank + 11-36 cassette (Advanced 2); 105 Di2 (Advanced 1); Ultegra Di2 / SRAM Force AXS (Advanced Pro); Dura-Ace Di2 (Advanced SL 0)
- Pidurid
- Shimano 105 hydraulic disc, 160 mm front / 140 mm rotors (Advanced 2)
- Rattad
- Giant P-A1 Disc alloy 50 mm deep w/ Giant P-A1 12mm thru-axle hubs (Advanced 2); Giant SLR 1 50 Carbon Disc WheelSystem on Advanced Pro; Cadex 50 carbon on Advanced SL
Verdikt
- Excellent balance of aero efficiency and low weight — top trims undercut the UCI weight limit while staying genuinely fast
- Sharp, reactive yet predictable handling; relatively calm in crosswinds for a deep-section aero bike
- Smooth ride for an aero race frame thanks to the Vector seatpost compliance
- Strong value across the range — the Advanced Pro nearly matches the flagship SL at roughly half the price
- Full-carbon aero frame and fork even on the entry Advanced 2, with room to upgrade components later
- Entry Advanced 2 is heavy (~8.73 kg) with alloy wheels and mechanical 105 — the platform's potential only shows on pricier builds
- Limited tyre clearance: frame accepts only up to 30 mm, where many rivals now allow 34 mm
- Some stock spec choices feel old-school (narrow 25 mm tyres and tight cassettes on certain builds)
- Aero focus means a firmer, more committed ride position than endurance or all-round road bikes
- Integrated one-piece cockpit on Pro/SL trims complicates fit changes and travel/packing
