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 seat post and handlebar, 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 features a cleanly integrated cable routing. The Defy frameset offers space for large-volume tyres up to 38 mm wide.

Thoughtful Damping
Frame and fork made from high-quality carbon have been specifically designed for long-distance use on the road, providing 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 tyres (up to 38 mm), and the rim depth of 36 mm provides stable, predictable handling in crosswinds.
