Featuring advanced quality composite material, the Defy Advanced is built with a special carbon material layout to give it an efficient, high-performance ride quality that helps you discover new limits of endurance. The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar system also help reduce road vibration, adding to its smooth, compliant feel on the road. Giant WheelSystem wheels and tubeless tires enhance speed and efficiency. And for added control, it has built-in flat-mount disc brakes and 12mm thru-axles.
