Description
For long rides. Conquer higher mountains, avoid shortcuts. This smooth-riding endurance road bike helps you do more of what you love.
The brand new Advanced-Grade Carbon chassis combines responsive efficiency with a calm, composed ride quality. The combination of D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar, both equipped with D-shaped tubes, helps you better absorb shocks and vibrations and stay composed even on rough roads. The new Contact SL AeroLight stem has a clean integrated cable routing. The frame also offers space for large-volume tyres up to 38 mm.
Functional Purism
Without unnecessary frills, the Defy frameset is one of the lightest in its category. With a perfect balance of quick responsiveness and high comfort, it offers a "less is more" experience for modern long-distance rides on all roads.
Thoughtful Damping
Frame and fork made from high-quality carbon have been specifically developed for long-distance use on the road, providing a comfortable and efficient ride behaviour that minimises 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 optimised for large-volume tubeless tyres (up to 38 mm), and the rim depth of 36 mm provides stable, predictable handling in crosswinds.
