When Tony Martin unveiled the new Giant Propel Advanced SL to the world just two weeks ago we were left with as many questions as answers. Is it lighter? Is it still as aero? Is it even a Propel?
Thankfully today we can partly answer some of those questions and definitively confirm it is a Propel, as we got hands-on with the new Propel ahead of the Grand Depart of the Tour de France.
While under strict instructions (and a very watchful eye) not to ride, weigh, or measure anything, we still have plenty more details to share.
Cadex Ultra 50 Disc
Cadex is also at the party with a new wheelset for Team BikeExchange Jayco. Here’s what we have spotted.
Matthews’ bike is also equipped with new Cadex wheels, which appeared on the UCI-approved wheelset list as the “Cadex Ultra 50 Disc”. This is the first time we have seen a 50 mm rim from Cadex, and it fills that gap between the brand’s lightweight climbing wheels and the deep 65 mm dedicated aero wheels. They look both fast and light with deep aero profiled carbon spokes. We suspect the final wheels will not have four CADEX logos. The white logo is a sticker and actually partially covers what appears to be the true decals. The black logo beneath says “50 Hookless”This gold logo on another bike outside the team truck says “Cadex Ultra”.Tubeless, 50 mm, carbon spokes: sounds fast. Looks like new hubs from Cadex with the word “Ceramic” on the inside. A closer look at the prototype tyre Cadex is telling us nothing about. Seems there will also be a tubular version.However, this tubeless labelled wheel was fitted with tubular tyres. Wrong logo, right wheel?Read More
