The Giant Propel makes big claims, a full aero bike with the weight of a pure climbing ride. Its easy to say that in the marketing pamphlet, but how does it ride on the road? Join Team Mike's Bikes Natenel Mesmer to discuss how it goes in the real world.

Heard there were issues with the seat post… anyone have any experience with the 23/24 propel bikes?

I was considering the Propel for tri races but I do quite a bit of climbing, so I am thinking the Cannondale Evo will be a better choice. Thoughts?

So, I have a couple of questions. First, on the Giant website it shows that the Propel frameset comes in three colors, but you can only choose one, the awful black one. Do you know if and when the green or blues ones will be available? Second, are you guys going to be doing videos on the Cervero Soloist and the Cannondale supersix as well? Third, I am looking for a good climbing bike and between the Soloist and the Propel, which one do you think is a better climber? Thanks so much.

I have the ugly black one ;) And it is not really black it is purple and in a sunny environment it becomes blackish

@@svenjanssens8315 ,...Thanks for your comment, but, I don't think you have the black one, you have the purple one. Did you buy the frame only? Or a complete bike? I think, the frame only is black, and the complete bike has a different color (purplish/blackish). Anyway, what is you impression of the Propels climbing? Thanks again for your comment.

@@mikesbikes I had a tcr prior to this and i was looking for an aero road bike for its do it all capabilities. Although the tcr was great and still is, it was a personal choice that i chose the look and feel of a aero bike. Factor ostro vam was my first choice of an aero bike but considering it had no power meter for ultegra, and propel did + di2 for cheaper, it was an absolute no brainer. Giant is a very underrated brand and i love to support them because of that

@stevocanuck 7 ай бұрын

it climbs amazing. I had a tcr prior and at first i had my doubts and prefer the feel of the tcr, but overtime i've gotten use to the propel and climbs and its amazing. The responsive of each pedal stroke makes the climb feel effortless and feels like you're getting all the effort you're putting in@@sustainf

@@stevocanuck totally agree. When our race team used giant the bikes were fantastic. Ride quality was lacking a bit - just a little harsh on rough roads - but that also translated into incredible power transfer. The bikes just wanted to sprint! And, you can always solve ride quality issues with a little lower tire pressure. glad to see you're happy on a giant!
