Giant Propel Advanced SL im Test: Aero-Renner am Gewichtslimit

The Giant Propel Advanced SL became the favorite of professional racers as soon as it was launched. We tested the slimmed-down aero racer as part of a comparison test together with three other superbikes. You can find all the information and riding impressions of Giant's fastest road bike here. The Giant Propel was fundamentally revised in the summer of 2022 and surprised with a significantly lighter frame. The top-of-the-range Giant Propel Advanced SL model with the integrated seatpost was 329 grams lighter than its predecessor. Although the frame has been made significantly slimmer, the bike is supposed to be faster than its predecessor and score points with excellent aerodynamics and at the same time at the UCI weight limit of 6.8 kg. In racing, the Propel Advanced SL became the bike of choice for the Jayco-ALUla team immediately after its launch and has won numerous victories.
