Description
Description
Ride far. Ride fast. Superlight and smooth as silk – the flagship series of the new Defy range is back to reclaim its title as the top model for endurance road bikes. It is the perfect choice for the sportive or Gran Fondo you have marked in your calendar.
Functional simplicity
Without unnecessary frills, the frame is one of the lightest in its category. With its perfect balance between high responsiveness and all-day comfort, it offers a “less is more” experience for modern endurance road cycling.
Engineered compliance
The advanced frame and fork made from SL-grade carbon are specifically designed for endurance road cycling, providing a smooth and efficient ride feel that minimises fatigue on long tours. The new D-Fuse components work together to better absorb road shocks and vibrations.
Total control
The new Contact D-Fuse handlebar has an ergonomic shape and an 8-degree flare for comfort and control on long tours. The wide, hookless carbon rims (22.4 mm internal width) are perfect for high-volume tubeless tyres (up to 38 mm) and the rim depth of 40 mm ensures stable, predictable handling in crosswinds.
