Giant Propel Advanced SL 1
Giant stepped into the aero bike ring with the Propel Advanced SL and they have 4 offerings in that line. The top of the line version is the SL 0 at $10,300 with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 components and goes down to a SL 3 with an Ultegra mechanical group for $5,150. For women there is an Envie Advanced option with a non integrated seat mast. We however looked closer at the Propel Advanced SL 1 at Sea Otter.
The Propel Advanced SL 1 looks very sleek and fast.
Shimano Dura-Ace mechanical is in place here.
We would have preferred to see less spacers here, but the person who will buy it may need them.
The integrated TRP / Giant brakes are tucked nicely behind the fork blades.
