propel advanced pro 1

The Giant Propel Advanced Pro 1 is an elite aero road machine designed for riders who want professional-grade speed paired with the seamless, wireless performance of SRAM’s eTap technology. For 2026, the Propel has been further refined to be 6.3 watts faster than its predecessor, utilizing an Advanced-grade composite frame that is both lighter and stiffer. The frame’s truncated ellipse airfoil tube shapes are engineered to minimize drag across a wide range of wind angles, making it a "rocketship" for breakaways, sprints, and solo efforts.

This model is a standout for its integration and value, featuring the OverDrive Aero system which routes all cabling internally through the Contact SL Aero cockpit. This specific build is powered by the SRAM Rival AXS 12-speed wireless drivetrain, which includes a factory-integrated SRAM Rival AXS power meter in the crankset. Paired with 50mm deep Giant SLR 1 Carbon wheels, the Propel Advanced Pro 1 is optimized for high-speed efficiency while maintaining predictable handling in crosswinds.
