|
Bicycling magazine on the 2012 Giant Defy Composite 1: “The heart of this bike is compact geometry, a concept Giant popularized, and a carbon-fiber frame with a look that evokes bikes twice its price.”
The Jan/Feb 2012 issue of Bicycling magazine takes a look at the 2012 Giant Defy Composite 1 in a feature titled: “Priced to Move – These Five Bikes Give You Lots of Speed at Friendly Prices.”
ON THE RIDE:
“Intended to handle whatever the road throws at you…the Defy’s ride is a fine mix of a race bike’s rigid chatter and an overly plush sensation…you’ll be able to ride fast and still take in the scenery.”
ON THE SPEC:
“We applaud Giant for equipping this quick, comfortable bike with its P-SL-1 tubeless-compatible wheels…This is the first bike at this price point to deliver tubeless technology in a ready-to-ride package, and we’re excited that recreational riders can take advantage.”
