Giant Defy Advanced 2 2016 - Road Bike
Take your riding to the next level with the high performance Giant Defy Advanced 2 endurance road bike. Designed to keep you fresh in the saddle mile after mile, the Defy features race proven geometry.
No matter where or how you ride, the Defy Advanced is designed to deliver. Giant Alpecin rider John Degenkolb rode his Defy to win the 2016 Paris-Roubaix and Milan-San Remo - so you know you’re getting race pedigree.
Frame & Fork
The Defy is constructed from high performance grade raw carbon fibres, chosen for their high stiffness to weight ratio. The resin uses vibration damping particles to reduce fatigue on long-distance epics.
A modified monocoque construction where the front triangle is built as one piece, then joined to the rear stays eliminates the need for the outermost composite sheet. This reduces weight without sacrificing ride quality, strength or stiffness.
Key to the ride feel is the proven geometry with a taller head tube and shorter top tube that puts you into a more upright riding position. All Defy models share the same geometry.
Keeping you in the saddle for longer are compliance features such as ultra thin and flattened stays. These are vertically compliant to absorb road buzz. A D-Fuse seatpost offers more fore/aft movement than traditional round profile for added comfort. This compliance does not make the Defy Advanced 2 sluggish. Lateral and torsional stiffness are maintained for efficient power transfer and precise handling.
Upfront an Advanced Grade composite fork with OverDrive tapered steerer greatly improves stiffness for scalpel like steering. An oversized PowerCore bottom bracket improves lateral stiffness so more of your power goes straight through to the wheels.
Components
You get a Shimano 105 11 speed groupset, with a wide range cassette and compact chainset giving you all the gears you need for taking on any climb. TRP Spyre mechanical disc brakes offer reliable and consistent power in all weather conditions - making the Advanced 3 a great winter trainer.
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.
