John — On Sunday, John Degenkolb came around Peter Sagan in the final 200 meters of Gent-Wevelgem aboard a Giant Propel Advanced SL 0. The Giant-Shimano team had the choice to ride the Propel, Defy, or TCR models, and every model was represented on the team, but it was the Propel that the team’s sprinter relied on to deliver him to the line.

John — Carbon arms come stock on the Propel Advanced SL, but Giant-Shimano buys aftermarket brakes from Taiwanese brand Fourier to stiffen up braking performance. The Fourier BR-DX005 is available to the public on the company’s website, and the Giant Propel-specific brakes sell for $324. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com
