Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2022
- After several years of development, Giant officially unveiled the new Propel Aero road bike on August 18. Who has paid close attention could see the Aero Racebike already at the Tour de France and other races in use, Dylan Groenewegen already won with it the third stage and his teammate Micheal Matthews the dramatic 14th stage of the Tour de France. The facts that Giant delivers to the new Propel Advanced SL are very impressive. The framestiffness was increased by 9.2%, yet the frame now weighs only 931g including seat dome about 300g lighter than its predecessor. When it comes to improving aerodynamics, not only the frame has been worked on, the new Contact SLR Aero handlebar and stem as well as the new Cadex Aero wheels with 50mm rim height alltogether bring an improvement of 6.21 watts. This corresponds to a time saving of 27 seconds on 40 kilometers at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour.
We were at Giant Headhunter in Germany a few weeks before the presentation when one of the new Giant Propel Advanced SL bikes was built. Please have a look at the Dream Build video, so you can see all the details of the frame and the installed components.

Nach mehreren Jahren Entwicklungszeit präsentiert Giant offiziell am 18. August das neue Propel Aero Rennrad. Wer genau aufgepasst hat konnte das Rad bereits bei der Tour de France und anderen Rennen im Einsatz sehen, Dylan Groenewegen gewann damit bereits die dritte Etappe und sein Teamkollege Micheal Matthews die dramatische 14. Etappe der Tour de France. Die Eckdaten die Giant zum neuen Propel Advanced SL liefert sind sehr beindruckend. Die Rahmensteifgkeit wurde um 9,2% erhöht, trotzdem der Rahmen wiegt nun inklusive Sitzdom nur 931g und ist damit etwa 300g leichter geworden als sein Vorgänger. Wenn es um die Verbesserung der Aerodynamic geht, wurde nicht nur am Rahmen gearbeitet, er neue Contact SLR Aero Lenker und Vorbau ebenso wie die neuen Cadex Aero Laufräder mit 50mm Felgenhöhe bringen eine Verbesserung von 6,21 Watt. Das entspricht einer Zeitersparnis von 27 Sekunden auf 40 Kilometern bei ein Geschwindigkeit von 40 Stundenkilometern.
Bereits ein paar Wochen vor der Präsentation waren wir bei Giant als eines der neuen Traumräder aufgebaut wurde. Bitte schaut euch das Dream Build Video an, so seht ihr alle Details zum Rahmen und den verbauten Komponenten. - Спорт
7 kg aero bike WITH PEDALS! YES!!! Big ups for Giant for making a no non-sense good bike!
Watching the build of the bike with the background music is like therapy for the mind.
thanks😊
So Beautiful!
That built is a stunner!
I’ve ordered one ,one weeks before 🚴♀️👍! Taiwan, GIANT, my country! Tks for your great film👏👏👏
Made in CHINA assembled in Taiwan
@@leslie7922 brefore 2010 ! All Made in Taiwan! Now, assembly back to Taiwan only! Especially cheap cost bike!
Some are made in TW, some in CN. We don't yet know which one the Propel SL will be. TCR SL is made in TW, last gen Propel SL (latest models) are made in CN - early ones were TW.
新款pp真香！
Is it just me or this kind of videos are therapeutic
no, you're not alone 🤗
At 9:10 the surface facing the bottom bracket is painted! That's a no-no! The tolerance for size of a BB is comparable to typical paint thickness, so a bike should not be nbuilt this way!
Nobody cares! It says "Ceramic" on the bottom bracket. It's all that matters, right? :D
Holy shit... Kinda embarrassing.
Perhaps it is that way because it is sold ready for facing of not only the BB but also the brake mounts. Framesets are usually sold to professionals at bike shops or teams where they have the tools for that and do that as part of the build.
@@petrcivela9413 when your going through €200 BB’s regularly 😫
Hambini is going to have a thing to say about this.
Super build, super montage for a super bike ! Might really be my next bike (when it will be found on the second hand market lol)
Beautiful.
As relaxing as a campfire. A very nice bike and very good work. 👍
stunning bike congratulations awesome job
a Proper Propel 👌
Dura Ace just look's so clean specially the cranks.
Masterclass
Looks pretty damn good with decent weight.
Here after Hambini BB observation
nice color and love the e gaers
MAAANTAAAPPP GIANT
My dream bike🤩😍🤩
I like this video
Great build, appreciate the work gone into filming/editing this. Where can I get that tshirt?!
thanks a lot!
You can get the shirt directly from giant, but unfortunately its not available in all markets: www.giant-bicycles.com/de/giant-t-shirt-heritage-collection-sunset
coole werbung auf youtube ich habe mich jedes mal gefreut wenn sie kamm
너무 멋집니다.
최고예요. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'll buy it next year！！！
Congratulations for the excellent videos... especially for weighweeines lovers
Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 Cables
what is the length of the cables used?
best wheels on the market at the moment imo
Great build, i learn how to build and fix by ur video.
I really hope Giant has a million square foot warehouse full of these cause they is gonna sell like hotcakes!
I’m happy I cancelled my order on last years model, this one is 🔥
If I wouldnt own a SL7 I would buy this new Propel.
I'm hearing it's frame only options here in Australia cause they won't be able to get enough groupsets.
the pricing for these is rediculous though
@@tribesnr42 it's not though, top tier frameset for around $3300 USD here in Taiwan, compared to other top tier framesets it is really reasonable.
Painted bb?!
Whats your take on using normal OD2 one piece cockpits with the new fork shape? Dangerous? Doable? Kind of sad that they have a new fork shape that is not really compatiable to anything else and only offer a stem + handlebar option.
Wow
Me gusta ese ruido de la maza uuuf
Bella
aero bike for 7 kilos?? damn, nice!
Sweet bike! Curious: what did you use to seal the seat tube and steerer after you cut them?
thats regular super glue 👍
Course file on the ISP and steerer was a bit over the top mate
what kind of liquid is used after cutting&grinding carbon frame and fork? I suppose it is some kind of glue to prevent delamination of the fibers. I'm right?
thats superglue to seal the cut.
already ordered , but i can only get it by next Mar...😂
The BB is held in which a coat of paint! WTAF?
A D shaped steerer. Giant, did you really want to go there?
Really nice ASMR video, but... Painted bottom bracket? Is it me or should this not happen in a frame on this price point?
Can i ask about size of headset did you use it, , please can you share it
Is that wasabi on the rear mech hanger 🤣
Yikes, paint in the bearing seats
不知道能不能不上isp車架然後換這個輪組😊
Solid build, looks like the mech had a bad fall though, hope he's good (and the bike too)!
yeah, that was with his mountain the week before. The damage on the arm is bigger than on the bike and luckily both are doing fine 👍
I dont get how the seatpost works - how do you determine the best length before even riding on it?
When you see the spin test is edited, that is a cause of concern.
the weight could be fake too
how is it edited? you can see the the cranks spinning freely until they stop and even rotate back by their own weight.
Almost forgot with those TCR’s and Propels they chop the seat tube as it’s an all in one frame 🫣😵💫.
I love the colorway and 7.03 KG / 15.5 lbs weight for an aero bike 🚲 🔥
Only the SL variants use an ISP.
Throw us rim brake users a bone, a rim brake build 👌🏻
In a bike restoration build perhaps 🤣
@@imbaness96 spoken like a fucking Fred
I'm 9 minutes in and all I've seen is disc brakes so much faff and no gain
ever tried a disc brake? there might be a little gain apart from the option to have everything integrated.
Is that paint scheme available to the average punter .
Hello roadbike channel. What is the liquid you pour on carbon forks lips and seatpost lips after you cut it ? Is it superglue ? 🙏
Hi Gerry, yes it's superglue to seal the cut.
Ow thanks for the info 🙏🙏
Please come back in 6 months and repeat spin test
Schöner Aufbau👍
Leider gibt's jetzt bei Giant auch keine runden Gabrlschäfte mehr 😕
Dafür ist die Zugverlegung aber super gelöst und mann kann immer noch den Vorbau und Spacer wechseln ohne auf eine ordentliche Integration verzichten zu müssen.
Ja und dafür ist das Tretlager mit lackiert... Keine Ahnung wo Giant damit hin will.
@@ll2284 das habe ich auch gesehen aber übersehen. Mein Augenmerk war auf die Gabel gerichtet 🤣
@@cmx2828 Ja absolut schade, sehe da auch keinen größeren Nutzen gegenüber dem was man verliert.
About time Giant fine tuned the Propel. I wonder what the 2023 TCR will be like...
TCR was last updated for 2021 model year. No updates until at least 2024.
@@LTBlightthebeam thanks for that, I thought it would have been the same year.
TCR is now redundant.
@@donwinston I don't know if the new Propel will be as comfortable as the TCR
If they merge the two lines Giant has to keep the iconic TCR name just like specialized kept the tarmac over the venge.
No way it took him less than a minute to get those brand new tubeless tires onto hookless rims... 😉
With the second one he used a lever, the first one was really ok to mount for a tubeless tire. Cadex did a really good with matching the fit of the tires to the rim 👍
If your struggling try some soapy water, it really does wonders if you allow the tire to move on the rim.
@@roadbikechannel I never thoguth I could spray water on the rim to help seat the tires!
Maybe alchohol will do the same eh?
@@onehourmusicbc I leave new tires to hang out in the sun to warm up so they're a little more pliable before mounting. Only way I got my Conti gp5000s on.
@@mrrodriguezHLP I've heard putting tires in hot water does the trick as well!
But my maxxis high road is easy enough to mount anyways.
Esta es la nueva propel?
Disc, aero, and 50 deep wheels. And 7 kgs. What in the world bro
yeah, we're getting there 🤩 and the bike is ready to ride with pedals, bottle cages and tire sealant 🥳
Excellent build, with tubular wheels could be reach 6.8 kgs easily.
The bottle cages and saddle are not on the super light weight either 😅
@@roadbikechannel yep, but you can choose a lighter saddle and wheels. Cadex isn't perfect choice.
Does the new stem have a D shaped clamp for the new steerer? or is it just a standard round OD2 stem on a D shaped steerer?
Seems to be a regular 1 1/4-inch stem.
@@yonglingng5640 i have since found out that it is D shaped, they just chopped the front off an od2 steerer basically
My dream bike🥹
What is with weighing everything? Excessive you still have to peddle it
What's being applied to the top edges of the cut carbon?
I think that it is a glue, cyanoacrylate adhesive to prevent delamination but I am not 100% sure.
Yes, your right!
where did you get that frame with that specific color?
We did the build at the Giant German Headquarters and got it directly from them.
stem and handlebar size?
That washer on the scales really bugged me😶
I'm 5'2 will this bike fit me
That whispered "Scheisse" at 9:28 though ...
wow, even we didn't catch that while editing 😂 that was the moment when he knew he had to switch from the wrench to the normal BB tools to make sure he doesn't slip... 👍
Ugly lines transition between head tube and down tube,is that really aero?????like Defy?
No what how did you get this
good connections 😅
Did you remove the seat post tube (part of it) and then reattached it?
That's the seatpost topper for the integrated seat post. You have to cut the mast to height, but then the topper goes on for the saddle to attach to
whats this song or music called?
Great..Too bad you can't get them..
I really like this bike BUT, I just don’t like the integrated seat post.
Isp is horrible and makes selling it second hand worthless no one buys it
@@leslie7922 Thats a great point, you would have to sell to a compatible rider (or slightly smaller rider)
@@ricecrash5225 yeah I've seen some on local auction sites half retail price and still relisted endlessly because people are too cautious to buy and quite rightly so
Actually it's not that bad, it has its limitations but it's not like you can't do anything abut it. The bike comes with some spacers for the seatclamp: www.giant-bicycles.com/at/tcr-advanced-sl-isp-spacer---clamp-set
To have maximum Compatibility cut it to your size without any spacer, that way anyone who buys it can be a litte taller or smaler.
@@roadbikechannel Good to know, at least you would never have to worry about the seat post slipping !!
Is this a dream custom build? Or just a build of this bike in stock form?
I’m seeing this bike with same parts on other channels? Or is it just me?
It's "only" a stock bike, but top of the line except for the stages cranks
@@roadbikechannel ok. So was it taken apart then put back together for the video?
No, it was brand new and we were invited to the giant headquarter in Germany where we already did the TCR Teambike two years ago: ua-cam.com/video/QGIjwvKTWZI/v-deo.html
Are those wheels hookless? 😮
Why the surprise? Giant has been doing this for a while.
@@LTBlightthebeam You can keep those hookless.
Can I use od2 stem on 23propel?
If it's a Pro or SL Variant, yes.
What size frame?
It's a size M/L
What's the frame size?
It's M/L
daje 1500 i jestem jutro
Frame size?
M/L
Didnt realise Peter Dutton built bikes.
🤣
White bar tape would look so much better. Always match downtime decal color.
Brand new yes.... ridden a few weeks not so much 😅
@@roadbikechannel easy to wipe down, no problem.
@@roadbikechannel You can us white track grips on the drops. Do the rest in black bar tape. White track grips are easy to clean.
the spin test says it all...
that cema bearings are pretty good?😅
カラーリングかっけぇ
자이언트는 로고가 문제다 진짜
에스웍스처럼 뭐 하나 따로 내면 ㄹㅇ 판매율 두배는 오를듯
로고빼고 디자인은 완벽한데
I can't buy this my dream bike 😞
Why not just assemble the bike and than weigh it??
it's our weight weenies service for those who are interested in knowing what a certain part weighs. The most obvious here are naturally the frame, fork, wheels but also stem, headset and seat clamp as well.
Mmm just breathe in the carbon dust mmmm
$8k+ bikes without direct mount hangers should be illegal.
Man...hydraulic brakes, electronic groupset and tubeless tires look so tiresome to live with. It's like they are made to deliberately deter home mechanics from touching that.
LMAO painted BB 🤣
It looks like a reflection off the frame paint. I doubt it is painted.
@@LTBlightthebeam 4:38
Nice looking bike but poor quality control or poor transport.Rear wheel has major issues right out of the box. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Rear axle is bent! Derailleur is misaligned.Since the rear wheel comes assembled I would have expected better.Assembly instructions poorly written, but that was not unexpected...just annoying.I just had the bike checked at a shop and was told that I should contact the seller about getting a whole rear wheel assembly with cartridge. (The bike shop could not do anything to help me).Not a good experience with this bike, so lesson learned.Added 3 stars for excellent customer serviceUpdate Sept 8 2020Just received a complete replacement wheel for free. Great service and an otherwise fine bike.
Use a mask when cut carbon fiber!
next time... 👍
how can someone with eyes that does this for living give a customer bike with painted BB and call it a day??
Lo único feo de la bicicleta es ese color azul , está espantoso , de resto , es una obra de arte.
It's not an aero bike
When you're cutting carbon laminates like this, shouldn't you wear a mask?
Yeah, really not the worst idea. Generally there are 3 exposure categorys for working with carbon, seperating and sawing is Cat. 2 with an exposure under 15min a day. Drilling would be Cat. 1 with an exposure under 15min/day.
It really is up to you in the end, cutting the tubes took about 30s in a well ventilated room. If you want to be on the safe side wear a mask, gloves, goggles and use a suction.
7.03kg? Heavy! Sram red ten speed rim brake all day none of this $20000 slab of concrete stuff 😂
Ever tried a new aero bike? It's not only about the weight... and it certainly doesn't shift like a Sram ten speed 😉
This is still way lighter than the previous Propel, the weighs more than 8.6kg
@@username8644 cause you really cant afford it period.
That’s looks not aero
