Defy Advanced E+ Elite 2
The SyncDrive Move Plus motor is integrated into the rear hub and delivers 30Nm of power (equivalent to 75Nm with a mid-drive motor) directly to the rear wheel. Weighing just 1.7kg, it’s specially tuned for the pedaling pattern of performance road riding, with minimal energy loss and more torque at higher speeds. The result is a natural feel when accelerating or maintaining steady power at speed, and no motor drag while freewheeling or coasting.
The down tube integrated EnergyPak 400 battery system weighs just 2.3kg and is purpose-built for the specific needs of E-bikes. A top tube mounted RideControl Go button makes it quick and easy to turn the E-bike on or off and change power modes. Smart Assist technology uses three sensors to precisely measure the power being applied to the pedals and produce just the right amount of support for a smooth, natural ride experience. All models feature SRAM wireless electronic shifters and an integrated taillight.
A lightweight composite frameset and high-performance components including a D-Fuse seatpost and handlebars for compliance, integrated WheelSystems with tubeless tires, and a wireless electronic drivetrain all add up to a smooth, efficient ride quality that mirrors the award-winning performance of the Defy endurance road bike range.
How far can I expect to ride on a single battery charge?
The range for a single battery charge can vary greatly depending on conditions such as the combined weight of the rider and cargo; wind resistance; tire pressure and tread profile; terrain and elevation changes; road or trail surface; outdoor temperature; maintenance of the E-Bike; and the condition of the battery.
The bar below gives an approximate range. Conditions are categorized as extreme, good and ideal. Extreme conditions typically occur when riding with a heavy load, strong headwinds or excessive climbs.
With its composite frame, integrated pedal assistance, and high-quality components including wireless electronic shifting, the Defy Advanced E+ Elite is designed for performance-minded road riders seeking added capabilities to ride farther and faster. The new SyncDrive Move Plus motor, which delivers up to 30Nm of support (equivalent to 75Nm with a mid-drive motor) in a lightweight, quiet system, is cleanly integrated into the rear hub and offers five support levels plus Smart Assist technology to determine optimal pedaling support for a smooth, natural riding experience. The system is powered by the EnergyPak 400 battery, which provides powerful support in an integrated, lightweight package.

Three smart sensors precisely measure the power being applied to the pedals so the motor can provide just the right amount of assistance to create a natural, powerful riding experience.
Ultra-slim battery uses breakthrough technologies to deliver 400Wh of power in a highly efficient and lightweight 2.3kg system. You get all the power, but in a smaller package that’s cleanly integrated with the composite frameset.
This integrated multi-function button is positioned conveniently on the top tube so you can easily turn the power on or off and change the motor settings.
High-performance grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material 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.
Steerer tube and fork legs constructed entirely from Giant’s premium Advanced SL-grade composite for light weight and precision handling.
Proprietary seatpost features a D-shaped composite shaft to better absorb road vibrations without the need for mechanical devices or special inserts. Optimized carbon layup helps increase overall compliance.
Lightweight composite or alloy handlebar (depending on the model) with D-shaped tubing combines road-smoothing comfort that’s up to 40% more compliant than traditional round handlebar with greater pulling (upward) stiffness for better efficiency while sprinting and climbing.
SRAM AXS front and rear derailleurs and wireless electronic shifters including SRAM Blips for additional shifter locations on the handlebars.
Lightweight composite or alloy integrated stem (depending on the model) with semi-internal cable routing improves aero performance and aesthetics with wind tunnel-inspired design.
E-Bike specific Giant SLR Composite WheelSystem with lightweight, tubeless ready carbon rims and Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology for superior efficiency, control and a smooth, comfortable ride. *Available on select models
Built-in taillight positioned near the top of the seat tube is always on, providing added visibility on the road.
This app allows you to tune the motor the way you want to, adjusting power to optimize efficiency or add more torque for steep climbs. You can also choose which ride data, including rider power output, that you want to display.
Giant’s 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.
All SyncDrive motors have Smart Assist technology, which adjusts the support to match the rider’s needs. By using information from multiple sensors, both rider input and terrain feedback are used to determine the optimal amount of pedaling assistance. SyncDrive is the only e-bike system that utilizes both rider input and terrain feedback. It gives you a smooth, natural riding experience with ample power when you need it, while also conserving power when you don’t need as much.
The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar were designed to function as a system, absorbing road shocks and vibrations so you can ride farther, faster.
Giant’s latest EnergyPak battery systems feature streamlined designs that are integrated with the E-bike for a sleek and modern profile. Giant E-bikes offer several different EnergyPak options including the EnergyPak Smart and EnergyPak. Each one is designed to optimize the E-bike experience for a specific style of riding.
The updated RideControl App expands the existing customization options for your SyncDrive motor. Now you choose exactly how you want the system to perform. You can use the app to adjust from the battery-saving Eco mode all the way up to Power mode, and collect all relevant ride metrics during your activity.
The new SyncDrive Move Plus motor delivers 30Nm of torque, which is comparable to 75Nm of torque in a mid-drive motor—all in a lightweight, quiet system that’s fully integrated into the rear hub. It features five support levels plus Smart Assist technology, which can automatically adjust pedaling support without having to change settings while riding. The motor uses sensors to constantly adjust output based on advanced algorithms.
E+ System combines electric power with human power to produce a smart, natural and powerful E-bike riding experience. It’s an integrated group of technologies that includes our RideControl control units, EnergyPak battery systems and SyncDrive motors.
