Giant DEFY ADVANCED 2 - Carbon Road Bike - 2024 - Tiger Red

Lightweight Carbon Endurance Road Bike

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

With an all-new carbon chassis that combines efficiency with flexibility, you'll put more miles on this endurance bike at higher speeds. The combination of D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar, both with D-shaped tubes to better absorb shock and vibration, will keep you steady on any road, no matter how bumpy. The new Contact AeroLight stem has a neatly integrated cable routing. The Defy accommodates large volume tires up to 38mm wide.
