I'm scheduled to go the Giant 2020 new model launch at my local Giant dealer here in Oz on the 13th August.....I doubt if the new TCR will be there but might have some info to report back?
I have seen pics of the 2020 Propel - SL0 model - blue metallic/black color with Cadex wheels and Sram Axis as standard.....the SL1 has Sram Force and SLR0 wheels.....it's really put me off as the perfect mix would be Cadex + Shimano Di2 - many 2020 models seem to be coming out with Sram.....something strange going on ?
2017 Giant TCR SL1 | 6.80kg sans
2019 Giant Propel SL0 | 7.00kg sans - WinSpace Hyper 50mm wheel upgrade

Interesting.. It appears Giant have 'dropped' their SLR0 wheelsets on stock models now.. clearly to differenciate the CADEX range which actually doesn't look that different to the older SLR0 range, the weight is very similar also.. (might be a good time to snap up a set of SLR0's)
I do like the look of this years paintsets.. the blue/black Propel Advanced SL 0 is HOT! Some of those paint jobs make me want to buy a MTB!

Looks like a 10% price on the SL1 vs the 2019 model ($7,199 vs $7,899 CAD). The key difference between model years (as far as I can tell) is SRAM Force eTap on the 2020, vs. Ultegra Di2 on the 2019.

I like the look of that green frame.. still.. it's green.. not sure I'd buy one.
I have however just purchased the Advanced SL in Gold/Black replica GVA frameset, getting built up next week
