Giant Defy Advanced 2 700c Endurance Road Bike - Carbon

Introducing the Lightweight Endurance Road Machine: A Seamless Ride Experience

With its effortless efficiency and quiet compliance, this road bike is designed to help you ride stronger and longer. The composite frame and purpose-built components work together to smooth out rough roads and minimize fatigue. Here's what sets it apart:

Functional Simplicity: Free of cumbersome gimmickry, the frameset is one of the lightest in its category. With a perfect balance of high-performance reactivity and all-day comfort, it offers a "less is more" experience for modern endurance road riding.

Engineered Compliance: Advanced-grade composite frame and fork are specifically engineered for endurance road riding, delivering a smooth and efficient ride quality that minimizes fatigue on long rides. The new D-Fuse components work together to further absorb road shocks and vibrations.

Total Control: The new Contact D-Fuse handlebar features ergonomic shaping and an 8-degree flare for comfort and control on all-day rides. Wide, hookless carbon rims (22.4mm inner width) are optimized for high-volume tubeless tires (up to 38mm), and a 36mm rim depth offers stable, predictable handling in crosswinds.

Experience the ultimate in endurance road riding with this lightweight, engineered, and controlled machine.

All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
