Highlights
Functional simplicity
With no unnecessary frills, the frame is one of the lightest in its category. With its perfect balance between high responsiveness and all-day comfort, it offers a "less is more" experience for modern endurance road cycling.
Engineered compliance
The high-quality carbon frame and fork are made specifically for endurance road cycling and provide a smooth and efficient ride that minimizes fatigue on long rides. The new D-Fuse components work together to absorb road shocks and vibrations even better.
Total control
The new Contact D-Fuse handlebars have an ergonomic shape and an 8-degree flare for comfort and control on long rides. The wide aluminium rims are optimized for large-volume tubeless tires (up to 38 mm) and ensure predictable handling and stability on asphalt and cobblestones.
Technologies
Advanced Composite Technology
GIANT's high-performance carbon fiber is used to produce this special carbon frame material, which is woven and processed in-house and has an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front frame triangle is molded as a single piece. The modified monocoque construction eliminates the outer braided composite layer. This reduces weight without compromising ride quality, stability or stiffness.
D-Fuse technology
The seatpost and handlebars with D-Fuse technology are designed to work as a system, absorbing shocks and vibrations from the road so you can ride further and faster.
OverDrive Aero
The D-shaped steerer tube and corresponding spacers are located in the head tube of the brand new Propel range and offer an extremely aerodynamic, easier to maintain system of internally routed brake and shift cables.
Tubeless system
Fewer punctures. Better traction. Less rolling resistance. GIANT's tubeless system makes mounting easier and provides extra riding pleasure.
Compact Road Design
The Compact Road Design was introduced in the 1990s by GIANT with the professional team ONCE and revolutionized the look of high-performance road bikes forever. A sloping top tube creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It makes it easier for riders of all sizes to get the perfect fit.
