Giant Defy Advanced 2 - Deep Lake

ENDURANCE

For Gran Fondos, group rides or epic solo rides, the Endurance bikes from GIANT help you stay fit and focused in the saddle from start to finish. These Endrurance bikes are supple, fast and carry pure performance in their DNA.

The Defy Advanced is hand-built from composite material in Advanced quality and made with a special carbon layup to give it an efficient, high-performance ride feel that helps you push beyond new endurance limits. The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar system also helps reduce road vibration, contributing to its smooth, compliant ride feel on the road. A tubeless Giant wheel system and tyres increase speed and efficiency while reducing the risk of punctures. And for extra control, it has integrated disc brakes with Flat-Mount mounting and 12 mm thru axles.

Engineered compliance

The Advanced Carbon frame is designed specifically for endurance riding on the road and offers a supple ride feel and less fatigue on long rides. The D-Fuse seatpost and the handlebar absorb shocks and vibrations on the road.

Full control

The seamless integration of the disc brakes, including Flat Mount mounting and 12 mm thru axles front and rear, creates more even braking performance for better control, even in wet weather and on rough roads.

Versatile

Endurance road geometry, extra tyre clearance (up to 35 mm) and the integration of disc brakes let you handle a wide range of roads and conditions, from smooth tarmac to rough mountain passes.
