The Giant Propel Advanced Pro 1 is an outstanding aero all-rounder, representing incredible value for money at full price, and with 30% off, it's now even better. It comes equipped with Giant's latest Advanced-Grade Composite carbon frame and fork, which is lightweight and wind tunnel tested for aero capability. It also features the Giant Contact SLR Aero cockpit, with reliable electric shifting handled by SRAM Rival AXS. It's now only available in the stunning Gloss Frost Silver colourway and sizes S-L.

Read our full Giant Propel Advanced Pro 1 Review.

At just 8.46kg, the Propel Advanced Pro 1 is notably lighter than other, more expensive rivals like the Van Rysel RCR-F Pro, which weighs 8kg but costs £7,000.

Giant says it's also lighter than its previous generation, engineered to slice through wind, and deliver race-winning efficiency, and is "an aero rocketship, built for speed when it matters most."

The Propel Advanced Pro frame is designed and developed in the wind tunnel, and Giant say that as a result of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis, which simulates airflow around a bicycle and rider, the Propel Advanced Pro comes optimised for aerodynamic performance at every yaw angle. The truncated ellipse airfoil tube shapes and Contact SLR/SL Aero cockpit are also designed to produce the best overall aero performance.

The Propel Advanced Pro build features an integrated carbon cockpit that houses all the cables, providing a clean front end and optimising aerodynamics, stiffness, and ergonomics.

The build continues with the reliable electric shifting performance of the SRAM Rival eTap AXS 2x12 groupset, and SRAM Rival AXS hydraulic brakes with 160/140mm disc rotors for reliable stopping power.

Elsewhere, the Proper Advanced Pro is equipped with Giant's SLR 1 50 Carbon Disc Wheel System, designed for an optimal balance between rolling resistance and aerodynamic performance. The carbon fibre wheelset is paired with Giant Low Friction Hubs and Giant Gavia Course 1 tyres, which are tubeless-ready.

Giant Propel Advanced Pro 0: was £6,299 now £4,399 at Cyclestore

The Propel Advanced Pro 0 model is the same bike as the SRAM version above, with all the same details, but rolls on different tyres. The headline difference here is the top-tier Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset, which adds to the price tag significantly. However, now with 30% off and a £1,900 discount, it warrants serious consideration. It comes in another eye-catching Gloss Mercury colour and sizes from S-L.

If you prefer Shimano, Cyclestore is also offering the Giant Propel Advanced Pro 0 at a discounted price of £4,399.00, down from £ 6,299.00, representing a significant £1,900 discount. This model features Shimano Ultegra Di2 electric shifting.

The bike build is the same as the SRAM-equipped version, with different tyres, and the higher-end Shimano groupset makes the difference in the cost. However, it's still an outstanding price with the 30% off.
