Giant Defy Advanced 2 - Bay Leaf

With effortless efficiency and smoothness, this lightweight endurance racing machine helps you ride stronger and longer. The carbon frame and specially designed components smooth out rough roads and reduce fatigue.

With a completely new carbon chassis that combines efficiency with flexibility, you will cover more miles at higher speeds with this long-distance bike. The combination of D-Fuse seatpost and handlebars, both equipped with D-shaped tubes to better absorb shocks and vibrations, ensures you stay calm on even the bumpiest roads. The new Contact AeroLight stem has a cleanly integrated cable routing. The Defy frameset offers space for large-volume tires up to 38 mm wide.

Functional Purism
With effortless efficiency and smooth running characteristics, this lightweight endurance racing machine helps you ride stronger and longer. The carbon frame and specially designed components smooth out rough roads and thus reduce fatigue.

Thoughtful Damping
Frame and fork made of high-quality carbon were specially developed for long-distance use on the road and offer a smooth and efficient ride that minimizes fatigue on long rides. The new D-Fuse components work together to better dampen shocks and vibrations on the road.

Maximum Control
The new Contact D-Fuse handlebar is ergonomically shaped and has an 8-degree angle for comfort and control on long rides. The wide, hookless carbon rims (22.4 mm internal width) are optimized for large-volume tubeless tires (up to 38 mm), and the rim depth of 36 mm provides stable, predictable handling in crosswinds.
