[image] The new 2023 Giant Propel aims to be the ultimate full-aero all-rounder Big improvements in weight, stiffness, comfort, serviceability, tunability, and aesthetics make for an enticing overall package. Est. reading time: 27 minutes [i…

The wheels are also different, SLR1 vs SLR2. I believe there was a 200g weight difference between the fancy Cadex ones on the SL and the SLR1 (1350 vs 1550-ish). SLR2 might well be 1700g?

[image] JoeriN: I believe there was a 200g weight difference between the fancy Cadex ones If you can find the funds, I would go with the CADEX wheels. My 2020 set (60mm rear / 45mm front) have been faultless and they have lived a hard life! Originally ran them with the CADEX rubber but when …

At the risk of getting yelled at…do you think the 30mm max tire width would be an issue? :grimacing: I get that you lose some aero benefit with a wider tire, but the Cervelo R5 can take a (measured) 34mm tire. :thinking::thinking::thinking: I’m not in the market but love wider tires, especially as …

Think it’s ok, this is pretty much an out and out performance/race bike, and race wheels are still optimised around a 25 or 28mm tyre for road racing.

Just stumbled across this video from a Giant demo day in, I think, Taiwan. At around 3:20 it shows what looks like a poster for a custom paint program on the new Propel. Hopefully that’s something that’s available world wide, although I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere else.

Giant’s pricing strategy/list on this bike is so odd Looking the Giant site for a few different countries the Propel Advanced 0 AXS cost is… US Price: $8000 usd Canada price: $7900 CAD (equivalent to $5920 usd) UK Price: £6,399 (equivalent to $7880 usd) Germany price: 5699 € (equivalent to $619…

Just looking at the German price in Euro and the GBP price, that’s a 20% price from ( 5699 € = £5059, where in the UK the price is £6399), if thinking about the bike, it would pay to have a holiday in Germany and collect the bike

If you can get one in Aus!!! The bike was launched months ago and the LBS telling me they still are expecting anything for another 2mths At this point I’m actually think of waiting to see what other brands do with 2024 models it’s taking that long

I wonder how those frame weights account for the seatpost? I assume that’s no post for the Pro and no topper on the post for the SL. I wonder how they compare with a post and all hardware.
