Giant Defy 0 2016 - Road Bike
Hit the tarmac with the Giant Defy 0, a comfortable endurance road bike with a light and lively feel. At home on a sportive, this versatile road bike is also the ideal fitness trainer and weekday commuter.
Giant’s engineers are World leaders in aluminium frame manufacturing. The Defy has race pedigree - a winner of the 2016 Paris-Roubaix and Milan-San Remo One Day Classic races with Giant Alpecin rider John Degenkolb.Frame & Fork
The Defy 0 comes with a very light, strong and stiff Aluxx SL aluminium frame, for all round riding performance. Double butted tubes shave extra weight off the frame for explosive acceleration and easy climbing.
Endurance road geometry with a slightly more upright riding position (taller head tube and shorter top tube) that you find on a pure road bike reduces fatigue on long rides. All models feature the same geometry.
An oversized PowerCore bottom bracket improves lateral stiffness so more of your power goes straight through to the wheels.
Upfront you get a carbon bladed fork. Carbon composite is very light and stiff for improving steering precision - ideal in a sportive ride. Increasing front-end stiffness is the OverDrive tapered steerer.
Components
It’s rare to find a Shimano Ultegra rear mech, shifters and brakes levers on a bike under a £1,000. Ultegra is elite level componentry that is just one level down from the pro Dura-Ace setup. The rest of the drivetrain is the performance 105 range. The blend of Ultegra and 105 will help you eke out the most from your input.
Giant’s excellent P-R2 wheels are quick to speed and durable. Sealed hub bearings are designed for longevity, essential for an endurance road bike. Butted Sapim race spokes shave extra grams off the total weight too.
The D-Fuse composite seat post has a ‘D’ profile giving you more compliance for a comfortable ride - ideal for the Paris-Roubaix cobbles.
