Giant Propel Advanced 1 2027: Carbon Aero Road Bike with Shimano 105 Di2 and SLR 2 50 Wheels

The Giant Propel Advanced 1 2027 (available in the Carbon / Stealth Chrome) brings the aerodynamic engineering of the latest generation Propel platform into a complete race ready build. Built around a lighter Advanced Grade composite frame featuring wind tunnel developed tube profiles, this configuration pairs the 12 speed electronic Shimano 105 Di2 drivetrain with 50 mm deep Giant SLR 2 50 tubeless carbon wheels as standard.

AeroSystem Shaping Frame, OverDrive Aero Fork and 32 mm Tire Clearance

The main triangle of the frame is molded as a single continuous piece through Giant's Modified Monocoque Construction manufacturing process, engineered to increase torsional and pedaling stiffness while lowering overall weight compared to the previous generation:

• Truncated Ellipse Tubing and Integrated Bottle Cages: Frame sections are shaped via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling to minimize aerodynamic drag across variable crosswind yaw angles, working seamlessly with the two dedicated downtube and seat tube aero bottle cages included with the bike.
  
  
• Full Carbon Fork with OverDrive Aero D Shaped Steerer: The symmetrical Advanced Grade full composite fork features a D shaped carbon steerer tube and dedicated spacers, hiding hydraulic brake lines and electronic wires completely from the wind.
  
  
• Giant Vector Seatpost and 32 mm Tire Clearance: The aerodynamic composite Giant Vector seatpost (with adjustable offset from 5 mm negative to 15 mm positive) damps vertical road vibrations, while expanded frame and fork clearance accommodates tires up to 32 mm actual width to reduce fatigue over long rides.

Shimano 105 Di2 12 Speed, SLR 2 50 Carbon Wheels and Modular Contact SL Aero Cockpit

Unlike the upper tier Pro 1 model, the Propel Advanced 1 2027 utilizes a component specification designed to combine high speed efficiency with straightforward mechanical adjustability:

• Two Piece Giant Contact SL Aero Handlebar and Stem: The front end features a modular two piece internal routing cockpit with a flared handlebar geometry, narrower at the hoods to reduce frontal area in headwinds and wider in the drops for sprinting leverage (hoods to drops width of 360/380 mm on sizes XS and S, 370/400 mm on M and M/L, and 390/420 mm on L and XL). The separate bar and stem construction makes angle adjustments or sizing swaps simple and cost effective.
  
  
• Giant SLR 2 50 Carbon WheelSystem: The 50 mm deep tubeless carbon rims are laced with Sapim spokes to Giant Aero Hubs featuring a 3 pawl driver mechanism, shod as standard with 700x28c Giant Gavia Course 0 tubeless tires.
  
  
• Shimano 105 Di2 Drivetrain with 36/52 x 11/36 Gearing: The 12 speed electronic groupset pairs a 36/52 semi compact crankset with an 11x36 cassette, providing both top end speed on flat roads and a 1 to 1 climbing gear (36x36) for steep gradients, controlled by hydraulic disc brakes with Shimano RT CL700 rotors (160 mm front and 140 mm rear).

The Novo Cicli Workshop: Custom Fit Sizing, Upgrades and Workbench Setup

On factory stock bicycles, crank arm lengths and cockpit dimensions are locked to the frame size (165 mm cranks on XS and S, 170 mm on M and M/L, and 172.5 mm on L and XL). At Novo Cicli (official Giant dealer), we prepare every Propel Advanced 1 2027 on our workbench to tailor it to your biomechanical measurements:

• Stem, Handlebar, Crankset and Cassette Personalization: Upon request, we swap the Contact SL Aero stem length, handlebar width, crank arm length, or cassette ratio (for example fitting an 11x30 or 11x34 cassette for tighter gear steps on flat courses), and can install a power meter upgrade.
  
  
• Tubeless Preparation and Electronic Diagnostics: We deliver the bike with a complete tubeless setup on the SLR 2 50 carbon wheels, Shimano Di2 firmware updates, and full torque verification for pickup in Besnate (Varese) or insured international shipping.
