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 endurance bikes are smooth, fast, and carry pure performance in their DNA.

The Defy Advanced is handcrafted from advanced-grade composite material and constructed with a special carbon layup to give it an efficient, powerful ride quality that helps you push new limits of endurance. The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar system also helps reduce road vibrations, contributing to its smooth, compliant ride feel on the road. A tubeless Giant wheel system and tyres enhance speed and efficiency while reducing the risk of flats. And for added control, it features integrated disc brakes with flat-mount installation and 12 mm thru-axles.

Constructed compliance

The advanced carbon frame is specifically designed for endurance riding on the road, providing you with a smooth ride feel and less fatigue on long rides. The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar absorb shocks and vibrations on the road.

Full control

The seamless integration of the disc brakes, including flat mount installation and 12 mm thru-axles front and rear, creates a smoother braking performance for better control, even in wet weather and on rough roads.

Versatile

The endurance road geometry, additional tyre clearance (up to 35 mm), and the integration of disc brakes allow you to tackle a variety of roads and conditions, from smooth asphalt to rugged mountain passes.
