Advanced-Grade Composite Carbon Frame

The Giant Defy Advanced Pro 2 features an Advanced-Grade Composite carbon frame, designed to balance low weight, efficient power transfer and comfort for endurance road riding.

Its endurance-focused geometry provides a comfortable riding position while maintaining responsive handling, making it well suited to long-distance rides, challenging climbs and varied road conditions.

The frame is engineered to provide compliance without relying on complex suspension systems, helping absorb road vibrations while maintaining pedalling efficiency. Clearance for tyres up to 38mm also allows riders to choose wider tyres for additional comfort and grip.

Advanced SL-Grade Composite Carbon Fork

The Advanced SL-Grade Composite carbon fork complements the frame's endurance characteristics, helping reduce road vibrations while maintaining precise steering.

It features a full-composite OverDrive Aero steerer for front-end stiffness and responsive handling, while a 12x100mm thru-axle provides a secure connection between the fork and front wheel.

Shimano 105 24-Speed Drivetrain

The Shimano 105 2x12-speed drivetrain provides precise mechanical shifting with a wide gear range suited to endurance road riding.

A compact 50/34T Shimano 105 chainset is paired with an 11-36T cassette, offering lower gears for steep climbs and higher gears for maintaining speed on flatter roads.

The Shimano 105 shifters provide comfortable ergonomics and dependable gear changes, making them well suited to long days in the saddle.

Shimano 105 Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes provide consistent stopping power and progressive braking control in varied weather conditions.

The hydraulic system allows riders to control braking with relatively light lever effort, helping maintain confidence on long descents, wet roads and technical corners.

Giant SLR 2 40 Carbon WheelSystem

The Giant SLR 2 40 Carbon Disc WheelSystem features lightweight carbon rims with a 40mm depth, balancing aerodynamic efficiency with predictable handling.

The hookless rims feature a 22.4mm internal width, designed to work with wider tubeless road tyres for improved comfort and grip.

Their carbon construction provides a balance of low weight and stiffness, making them suitable for climbing, accelerating and maintaining speed on longer rides.

Giant Gavia Fondo 0 Tubeless Tyres

The Giant Gavia Fondo 0 700x32c tubeless tyres are designed for endurance road riding, offering a balance of rolling efficiency, comfort and grip.

Their wider profile provides additional cushioning compared with narrower road tyres, helping smooth out rough tarmac and uneven surfaces.

The tubeless setup allows riders to use lower tyre pressures for improved comfort and traction, while reducing the risk of pinch punctures. When used with sealant, smaller punctures can also seal automatically.

Giant Contact SL D-Fuse Handlebar

The Giant Contact SL D-Fuse handlebar features an ergonomic design intended to improve comfort and control during longer rides.

Its D-shaped profile provides additional compliance to help absorb road vibrations, reducing the amount of feedback transmitted through the hands and arms.

An 8-degree flare provides a wider position at the drops, offering additional control when descending or riding over rougher surfaces.

The handlebar is paired with a Giant Contact SL AeroLight stem, creating a clean cockpit setup with responsive steering.

Giant D-Fuse SL Seatpost

The Giant D-Fuse SL seatpost features a distinctive D-shaped profile designed to flex slightly under load, helping absorb road vibrations and reduce fatigue on longer rides.

Its 16mm offset helps position the saddle appropriately, while the Giant Fleet SL saddle features ParticleFlow technology, designed to distribute pressure and improve comfort.

Built for Endurance Road Riding

With its lightweight carbon frame, Shimano 105 drivetrain, carbon wheels and vibration-absorbing D-Fuse components, the Giant Defy Advanced Pro 2 is designed for riders who enjoy covering longer distances.

Its combination of endurance geometry, wide tyre clearance and hydraulic disc brakes makes it well suited to sportives, challenging climbs and all-day road adventures.
