Go long. Go fast. Superlight and silky smooth, the flagship series of the new Defy range is back to reclaim its title as the pinnacle of endurance road. It’s the perfect choice for the sportive or gran fondo that’s circled on your calendar.
Features:
- Functional simplicity – Free of cumbersome gimmickry, the frameset is one of the lightest in its category. With a perfect balance of high-performance reactivity and all-day comfort, it offers a “less is more” experience for modern endurance road riding.
- Superlight Endurance Road Bike – Advanced SL composite frame and fork are specifically engineered for endurance road riding, delivering a smooth and efficient ride quality that minimises fatigue on long rides. The new D-Fuse components work together to further absorb road shocks and vibrations.
- Total control – A new Contact D-Fuse handlebar features ergonomic shaping and an 8-degree flare for comfort and control on all-day rides. Wide, hookless carbon rims (22.4mm inner width) are optimised for high-volume tubeless tyres (up to 38mm), and a 36mm rim depth offers stable, predictable handling in crosswinds.
- Carbon Wheelset – To increase the efficiency and handling even further, Giant kit this bike out with their own SLR 1 36 Carbon Disc wheelset.
- Incredible Spec – Kitted out with the incredibly smooth and instinctive SRAM Force AXS 2 x 12-Speed wireless electronic shifting for perfect shifts every time. The SRAM Force AXS hydraulic disc brakes provide sharp but perfectly modulated stopping power in all conditions.
- Endurance Geometry – By raising the front end of the bike and shortening the reach, Giant have come up with the a supremely comfortable long-distance road bike – comfortable enough for long days in the saddle but still incredibly efficient.
- Tubeless Ready – The Giant Defy Advanced SL 1 road bike is set up tubeless off the peg for better comfort and increased puncture protection
