Lightweight Carbon Endurance Road Bike

With effortless efficiency and smoothness, this lightweight endurance racing machine helps you ride stronger and longer. The carbon frame and specially engineered components smooth out rough roads and reduce fatigue.

With an all-new carbon chassis that combines efficiency with flexibility, you'll put more miles on this endurance bike at higher speeds. The combination of D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar, both with D-shaped tubes to better absorb shock and vibration, will keep you steady on any road, no matter how bumpy. The new Contact AeroLight stem has a neatly integrated cable routing. The Defy accommodates large volume tires up to 38mm wide.

Highlights of the Giant Defy Advanced 2 - Carbon Road Bike

• Advanced Carbon - High performance material that has a high stiffness to weight ratio. The front frame triangle is assembled and formed from a single piece using a patented manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction .
• D-Fuse Seatpost - Carbon seatpost with D-shaped carbon stem that absorbs vibrations from the road without the need for mechanical devices or special inserts. The optimized carbon layup increases overall compliance.
• Contact SL D-Fuse Handlebars - Lightweight carbon handlebar with D-shaped tubes combines road-ready comfort with higher tensile stiffness (upward) for greater efficiency when sprinting and climbing.
• Contact Aerolight Stem - Integrated carbon stem with internal cable routing improves aero performance.
• PowerCore - Massively oversized bottom bracket area offers a fully integrated 86mm wide design.
• Asymmetrical chainstays provide additional stiffness on the drive side and increased stability on the non-drive side.
• Frame/handlebar/stem feature unique cable routing for a sleek, uncluttered look and performance.
• The frame and fork are specifically designed for Flat-Mount disc brakes, including 12mm thru axles front and rear for reliable braking performance in all weather and road conditions.
