2018 Defy Advanced Pro

Defy LIMITS.
This lightweight Advanced-grade composite frame delivers the perfect blend of stiffness and compliance. It’s engineered with endurance geometry, giving you a smooth ride quality that minimizes fatigue on your longest, hardest rides. Integrated flat-mount disc-brake technology with 12mm thru-axles front and rear gives you added control on rough roads in all types of weather. And the vibration-damping D-Fuse seatpost absorbs road vibrations to give you an even smoother, quieter ride without adding any weight.
Specific composite layup and tube shaping, including ultra-thin and flattened seatstays, a low seatstay/seattube junction, and thin, slightly curved fork legs combine for a balanced, compliant ride quality and reduced rider fatigue.
A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter-wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
Designed to offer unprecedented steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2” lower, 1 1/4” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness.
Frame features unique internal cable porting for sleek, uncluttered appearance and performance.
High-performance grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.
The proprietary “D” shaped composite seatpost dampens vibration—resulting in a smooth, compliant ride.
A fork and steerer tube constructed entirely using Giant’s Advanced-grade composite for lightweight and superior ride quality and steering precision.
Frame is engineered with flat-mount disc brake integration for superior braking performance in all weather and road conditions.
12-millimeter thru-axles front and rear provide superior braking performance and stiffness for precise cornering and overall road control.
