Giant Propel Advanced SL Frameset: 845 g WorldTour Aero Carbon Road Frame Kit with Integrated ISP

The Giant Propel Advanced SL Frameset represents the pinnacle of aerodynamic engineering among race-bred carbon road framesets: built to dominate bunch sprints and solo breakaways, it shaves 150 grams off its predecessor to tip the scales at just 845 grams (painted size M frame). Developed by Giant through extensive CFD modeling and dynamic wind-tunnel testing, it features a continuous ISP (Integrated Seatpost) and a D-shaped OverDrive Aero fork steerer engineered to pair seamlessly with dedicated cockpits like the one-piece Giant Contact SLR 1 Aero handlebar. At Novo Cicli, our in-house technical department prepares every frameset prior to dispatch, offering precision ISP cutting to your exact saddle height or complete custom dream builds.

AeroSystem Shaping Technology, 845 g Advanced SL Carbon & Integrated Seatpost (ISP)

Unlike traditional aero frames that trade climbing weight for straight-line speed, the Giant Propel Advanced SL Frameset combines truncated ellipse airfoil tubing with a climbing-bike stiffness-to-weight ratio:

• Pro-Grade Advanced SL Layup and CNT Resin Technology: The front triangle is molded as a single continuous structure using Continuous Fiber Technology and Carbon Nanotube (CNT) resin, boosting torsional stiffness across the PowerCore BB86 (86.5x41 mm) bottom bracket shell and rectangular MegaDrive downtube for instant watt transfer.
  
  
• Integrated Seatpost (ISP) with 20 mm & 45 mm Clamps (-5 / +15 mm Offset): Extending the seat tube continuously up to the saddle eliminates a conventional telescoped seatpost junction, saving up to 45 grams while enhancing vertical compliance over rough tarmac. The frameset ships with both 20 mm and 45 mm ISP clamps, micro-adjust shims, and a reversible head offering -5 mm or +15 mm setback.
  
  
• Truncated Ellipse Airfoils and Included Aero Bottle Cages: Every tube junction is shaped to minimize drag across real-world yaw angles (crosswinds), working as a unified aerodynamic system alongside the two custom composite Aero bottle cages (downtube and seat-tube specific) included in the box.

OverDrive Aero D-Shaped Fork Steerer, 30 mm Tire Clearance & Electronic Shifting Design

The front end of the Giant Propel Advanced SL Frameset conceals brake hoses out of the wind while simplifying biomechanical stack and reach adjustments:

• D-Shaped OverDrive Aero Steerer and Internal Routing: The full-composite D-shaped fork steerer creates a frontal channel to route hydraulic hoses cleanly from the cockpit into the frame, while split headset spacers allow stack height adjustments without disconnecting or re-bleeding the brakes.
  
  
• Engineered Exclusively for Electronic Drivetrains: Internal routing is designed exclusively for electronic shifting groupsets (Shimano Di2, SRAM eTap AXS, Campagnolo Super Record WRL; not compatible with mechanical shift cables).
  
  
• Up to 700x30c Tire Clearance and Included Computer Mount: The 12 mm thru-axle frame and fork clear modern road tires up to 700x30c, and the kit includes an out-front cycling computer mount compatible with Giant Aero cockpits.

The Novo Cicli Advantage: Precision ISP Cutting, Bespoke Custom Builds & Pro Setup

Building a frameset with an integrated seatpost like the Giant Propel Advanced SL requires millimeter-accurate cutting and exact cockpit selection. In our technical department, we support your project from sizing to final assembly:

• Certified ISP Cutting to Your Biomechanical Saddle Height: Upon request, before shipping or collection, our technical department cuts the ISP seat mast using the official Giant cutting guide to match your exact bottom-bracket-to-saddle-top measurement, fitting either the 20 mm or 45 mm clamp for future fine-tuning.
  
  
• Complete Custom Dream Builds in Our Technical Department: We assemble complete custom race bikes pairing this frameset with the one-piece Contact SLR 1 Aero or two-piece Contact SLR Aero cockpit in your exact stem/bar dimensions, Shimano Dura-Ace/Ultegra Di2 or SRAM Red/Force AXS groupsets, and Cadex carbon wheelsets—available in Besnate (Varese, Italy) or via insured international shipping.
