2016 Giant Propel Adavnced SL Team : Giant Alpecin Team

Season:2016

Brand:Giant

Code:612001

Basically the same bike as the Propel Advanced SL 1 but in the Giant-Alpecin Team colourway. Limited to just 25 bikes - this is a piece of history.

The pick of the aero crop in Giant's range this year, the Propel Advanced SL has spent time beneath the Yellow Jersey and been ridden to numerous victories by the man-machine that is Marcel Kittel. Developed primarily to give all the possible aero advantage for a road bike, the Propel Advanced SL also delivers on stiffness, weight and comfort making it an accomplished and versatile bike for the rider looking to maximise on a single purchase. Ideal for long-course or technical Triathlon where aero counts as much as comfort; in a race where you feel you have the legs for a solo flyer or for beasting your clubmates in the lampost sprints!

Giant only uses the finest quality Japanese Torayca carbon fibre in all their frames:  the ‘Advanced’ a T700 and the ‘Advanced SL’ a T800 fibre. The difference is found in the rate at which the fibre is produced. A lengthier process produces a stronger fibre which means that less can be used for the same stiffness and strength. The production cost increases dramatically as the quality increases, which is reflected in the price you pay for the final product. This season Giant have also employed Continuous Fibre technology. This method of frame construction utilises longer runs of carbon fibre allowing for greater strength and less material to yield significantly lower (up to 100g) frame weights without compromising on strength and stiffness. Thus, the Advanced SL has Giant's highest stiffness to weight number and the low weights are quite amazing when considering the additional material used to form the aero profiles and especially remarkable when compared to frames of just 5 years ago. 

The Giant Propel Advanced SL frameset is aerodynamic, remarkably light, astoundingly stiff under load, smooth and incredibly precise in the corners yet comfortable enough for hours in the saddle. It is a phenomenal platform that performs at the top level without commanding the price tag of other manufacturers' equivalents.

Proven through third-party wind tunnel tests to be more aerodynamic from every yaw angle tested when compared to other leading aero road bikes, the Propel Advanced SL sets a new standard for speed. The Advanced SL frame is engineered with AeroSystem Shaping Technology, which saves 12-36 seconds over a distance of 40km at a speed of 40 kph compared to key aero bike competitors—with zero compromises in weight or stiffness. Technologies including the SpeedControl SL brake system, integrated seatpost and internal cable routing help deliver a bike that is fast from every angle.

The Giant Propel Advanced SL Team like all SL's utilises an ISP or Integrated Seat Post which not only adds to the aesthetic but which increases overall frame stiffness and aerodynamics while remaining comfortable through clever carbon lay-up.  A Shimano Dura Ace 11 speed mechanical groupset minimises weight while offering top notch shifting and custom aerodynamic SpeedControl SL Ti brakes help reduce weight and handle stopping duties with aplomb. The front of brake is situated behind the fork for improved airflow. The Propel Advanced SL Team uses Giant's new top of the range SLR 0 Aero wheels, these full carbon hoops are super smooth rollers that are also extremely light and seriously fast.

Giant's wheels are manufactured in-house from only the highest grades of fibre and in collaboration with their long-term partner DT Swiss. Giant design the wheel system from rim to lacing pattern and DT supply the Hub internals like the Star Ratchet freehub system, and spokes. The wheels aren't just another 'hop on the carbon band-wagon' though. Giant have developed a proprietary lacing they call Dynamic Balance Lacing, whereby there is not only different tension between drive and non-drive spokes but also between the 'Pushing' and 'Pulling' spokes on the Drive side itself. Giant claim that this Dynamic system allows for better transmission of the drive forces for greater balance, power transfer and longevity. 

Finishing kit is in the form of Giant's Contact SLR carbon stem and Contact SLR aero carbon handlebar 

  • Advanced SL-Grade Composite, Vector Integrated Seatpost
  • Advanced SL-Grade Composite, Full-Composite OverDrive 2 Steerer
  • Shimano Dura-Ace 22 speed
  • Giant SpeedControl SL
  • Giant SLR 0 Aero WheelSystem
