Hot off the back of two stage wins at the 2022 Tour de France<\/a>, Giant has launched the latest iteration of the Propel, its dedicated aero road bike<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 2023 Giant Propel is claimed to be lighter, stiffer, more compliant and more aerodynamically efficient than its predecessor, the Giant Propel<\/a> that launched in 2018.<\/p>\n

On top of this, Giant says its new OverDrive Aero cable routing system makes the new Propel easier to adjust, while still effectively hiding any cables from the wind.<\/p>\n

Although we first got our hands on it at the Grand Depart of the 2022 Tour de France<\/a>, we unfortunately weren\u2019t allowed to weigh the new Propel at the time.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all changed now, though, because we\u2019ve got a top-spec model in to test and can confirm it weighs 6.91kg for a size ML, making it one of the lightest disc brake aero road bikes currently available.<\/p>\n
