Through CFD and wind-tunnel data, engineers optimize each tube shape to deliver superior aerodynamic performance.
Give yourself the aero advantage. This composite rocketship minimizes drag and saves precious watts in sprints, breakaways and attacks. Because small gains lead to big wins.
Developed with pro sprinters and proven in the heat of the battle, the Propel Advanced Pro delivers superior aerodynamic performance with the lightweight simplicity of rim brakes. Extensive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis and dynamic wind-tunnel testing was used to optimize every frame tube and angle in a process called AeroSystem Shaping technology. The frame is handcrafted using Advanced-grade composite material to produce a bike that is both lightweight and stiff, with a sharp, responsive ride quality. Purpose-built aero road technologies, including SpeedControl brakes, a Vector seatpost and rim-brake technology put the Propel Advanced Pro ahead of the pack.
Key Performance Factors
Integrated aerodynamics
AeroSystem Shaping, a result of extensive CFD analysis and dynamic wind-tunnel testing, creates the best aerodynamic performance at every yaw angle. A truncated ellipse airfoil shape and Contact SLR/SL Aero cockpit help deliver the best overall aero performance.
Total control
Rim-brake technology delivers outstanding braking power in most conditions. The integrated Giant WheelSystem further improves control with a 65mm deep rear rim and a shallower 42mm front rim for added control in crosswinds.
Unrivaled efficiency
The frameset, including the integrated stem and handlebar, features best-in-class weight and stiffness. Frame is constructed for maximum power transfer, allowing the rider to reach and maintain higher speeds with less effort.
Aerosystem Shaping Technology
Advanced Composite Frame
High Performance Grade raw carbon fiber and Giant’s proprietary resin formula is used to produce custom composite material in our own composite factory that is extremely lightweight, stiff and compliant.
OverDrive 2
Designed to offer unprecedented front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1⁄2” lower, 1 1/4” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness.
Advanced Grade Composite Fork
A fork and steerer tube constructed entirely from Giant’s Advanced-grade composite for lightweight and superior ride quality and steering precision.
Vector Seatpost
This full-composite, lightweight and highly aerodynamic seatpost is engineered specifically for the unyielding demands of the performance road rider.
PowerCore
A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
