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 is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.

Defy Advanced
Defy Limits
Choose the longer route. Climb higher mountains. This smooth-riding endurance road bike is made for long-distance rides on all types of roads.
Key Performance Factors
Tecnologia ingegnerizzata
Il telaio in carbonio Advanced è specificamente progettato per la guida su strada endurance, offrendoti una qualità di guida fluida e meno faticosa nei lunghi viaggi. Il reggisella e il manubrio D-Fuse assorbono efficacemente gli urti e le vibrazioni della strada.
Controllo totale
L'integrazione perfetta del freno a disco, che includono flat mounts e perni passanti anteriori e posteriori da 12mm, produce una migliore potenza di frenata per un controllo migliore, anche in caso di pioggia o strade sconnesse.
Versatilità
La geometria Endurance, il maggiore spazio per gli pneumatici (fino a 35mm) e l'integrazione del freno a disco consentono di affrontare una varietà di superfici e condizioni, dall'asfalto liscio ai passaggi di montagna accidentati.
Advanced Composite
OverDrive
Giant’s proven oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
D-Fuse Technology
Proprietary D-shaped composite seatpost and handlebar work together to dampen vibrations and absorb road shock, resulting in a smoother, more compliant ride quality.
PowerCore
A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86mm wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Frame/handlebar/stem feature unique cable porting for sleek, non-cluttered appearance and performance.
Disc-Brake Integration
The frame and fork are engineered specifically for flat-mount disc-brakes, including front and rear 12mm thru-axles for reliable braking performance in all weather and road conditions.
Giant WheelSystem
Engineered with proprietary Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology, this tubeless ready composite WheelSystem delivers superior efficiency, pinpoint control and comfort.
