Defy Advanced 3 (Compact)
$1,930
Overview
THE MORE COMFORTABLE YOU ARE, THE MORE YOU’LL RIDE. THE MORE YOU RIDE, THE FASTER YOU GET. ENDURANCE AND SPEED, A WINNING COMBO.
At the heart of this aero-sculpted beauty is an Advanced-grade composite frame with endurance geometry for increased control and comfort. Performance features, like the PowerCore bottom bracket for optimal pedaling stiffness, are blended with a road-smoothing, longer wheelbase and taller headtube. It’s the best of both worlds.

| Weight | How much does this bike weigh? It’s a common question, and rightly so. But the truth is, there are no industry standards for claiming bike weights—and this leads to a lot of misinformation. Variances exist based on size, frame material, finish and hardware. And as bikes get lighter, these differences become more critical. At Giant, we believe the only way to truly know the weight of any particular bike is to find out for yourself at your local retailer. |
