Giant Propel Advanced 2 2015 - Road Bike
9/10 Cycling Weekly Bike Test May 7th 2015
"As a fast race bike the Advanced 2 will put a smile on your face and give you the advantage."
The Giant Propel Advanced 2 is an aero road racing bike in a class of its own. Lead the pack with this aero slicing machine that’ll get you riding faster than you’ve ever gone before. You can buy the Propel Advanced 2 through a 0% interest Tredz Finance Package, so why wait.
Frame & Fork
The Propel Advanced 2 is designed to go as fast as possible, that means aerodynamics and weight are very important. Central to performance is Giant’s Advanced-Grade carbon composite frame material. Being extremely light and stiff you can accelerate up the climbs and out of corners with ease.
Tube profiles are designed to minimise airflow disturbance as you cut through wind with an airfoil design (teardrop inspired). Likewise the Vector SLR seatpost gives you plenty of adjustment without impacting on aero performance.
Added stiffness comes in three key areas, the steerer tube, bottom bracket and rear stays. An oversized steerer tube improves stiffness up-front to improve steering precision and handling. The PowerCore bottom bracket creates a super stiff junction that transfers all your pedalling power into forward motion.
The rear seat and chainstays are designed to be short so that your rear end is laterally rigid - ideal for cornering.
Like the frame, the composite fork helping to keep the frame weight low while providing all the qualities of composite.
Components
Fixed to the high quality composite frame is a 22 speed Shimano 105 drivetrain. This is a performance drivetrain designed for racing so you get crisp shifting and gearing, right through the range.
Giant P-A2 rims roll smoothly on the tarmac and are quick to accelerate. These are wrapped in Giant’s own P-R3 tyres that offer good puncture resistance and durability for regular use.
If you’re looking for an aero road race bike at this price point there is not much that can compete with the Propel Advanced 2.
