2018 Giant Propel Advanced 1 : Carbon Aero Road Bike : Carbon / Green

Season:2018

Brand:Giant

Code:801161

Identical to the Propel Advanced 2 save for the upgraded Ultegra components, if you are looking for your first Aero Road bike or a move to carbon with a view to developing your riding, then the superb build and quality of Giant's Propel Advanced 1 carbon aero road bike is an excellent choice. With a Shimano Ultegra 11 speed groupset you have no upgrade worries going forward as well as reliability and super slick shifting. The sharp but stable handling and one of the lightest frames in it's category lends a lively feel that never trips you up. In addition, the 2018 models see a move over to tubeless ready wheels with Giant's P-A2 Aero wheels supplied with the compay's own Gavia Race 1 Tubeless tyres to give you the benefit of fewer punctures and lower rolling resistance for improved grip and speed at lower pressures.

Seeing the Propel as the ideal one-bike solution for many riders looking to a multi-sport machine, suitable for both road riding and Triathlon / Time Trialling; Giant have dramatically increased their offerings including disc brake models.

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. However as with everything, the effort that is required to make a fibre as good as the T700 that little bit stronger for the T800 is relatively large compared to the benefit inherent in the jump from Aluminium to the T700 carbon. 

Previous years have seen Giant use a T600, T700 and T800 fibre to produce 3 ranges of carbon bikes. For 2018, Giant continue to produce the Propel Advanced and Advanced Pro with the same T700 fibre and the distinctions between the ranges come down to the finishing kit, steerer tube material on the fork (Aluminium on the Advanced and Carbon on the Advanced Pro / SL) and wheels. Fundamentally then, the Propel Advanced range offers serious value for money for those looking to get the most for their money or wish to take a longer upgrade path.

The Giant Propel Advanced frameset is aerodynamic, light, astoundingly stiff under load, smooth and incredibly precise in the corners. Although it is not Giant’s flagship frame, it punches well above its weight and happily competes with many top-of-the-line frames produced by other companies. This of course is reflected in the honours bestowed upon it.

In this case why is relatively cheap? This is largely down to the fact that Giant are an enormous company, producing frames for many of the other major players in the industry. This is indicative of several facts; firstly Giant are in control of production from the ground up as they purchase the raw fibre from Torayca and manufacture it themselves, producing every carbon frame by hand. As such the quality control is impeccable and although Giant give a lifetime warranty on all their frames we would be surprised if you ever had to use it. Secondly Giant’s manufacturing costs per frame are far lower than all their competitors as they are not having to outsource. As such they can push more resources into research and development and produce a higher performing, higher quality frame at a lower price. In addition, they now produce their own high quality wheels and finishing kit which again helps to reduce end-user costs but without sacrificing on quality and performance.

Giant are building their brand on creating some of the highest performing bicycles on the planet. There are many of us who ride Giant and are now hard pressed to even consider something else given the immense value that they represent. The Propel Advanced is a perfect example of this, a versatile platform that is equally at home on club runs, mid week criterium races and Triathlons - a superb bike that performs at a level that belies its price tag.

With best-in-class aerodynamics mated with superior all-around ride quality and engineered with AeroSystem Shaping Technology, this race-ready machine delivers lightweight performance and a stiff chassis for sprinting and solo riding situations. Giant's Vector seatpost offers wide-ranging adjustability with minimal drag while the OverDrive steerer tube and PowerCore bottom bracket help improve its sharp handling and pedalling efficiency.

The Giant Propel Advanced 1 is equipped with Shimano's 11 speed Ultegra groupset and custom aerodynamic SpeedControl brakes - the front of which is situated behind the fork for improved airflow. It rolls on Giant's new tubeless aluminium 30mm aero PA-2 wheelset which offer aero benefits without hindering climbing ability.
