Hello,
Got a chance to ride a Giant Propel Advanced for the first time this morning.
For the past year i've been riding a Giant TCR and really like it but i've been drooling over the Propel for some time.
Only rode ~30 miles this morning but thought I would share my first impressions for those that may be interested.
Its pretty windy and flat in Miami and I noticed the "Aero" properties immediately. Riding over 20 mph felt easier almost, just took less effort. Compared to my TCR it also carries speed better, riding along feels smoother.
I was surprised to find it quite comfortable. Looking forward to getting some more miles in, will post more over the next few days.
Not sure how many other members are into cars but it feels like driving a big turbo supra (insert favorite high horsepower big turbo make and model).
** doubt this info is useful to anyone but here is the strava activity from this morning.
