The Giant Defy Advanced Endurance road offers above all a high level of comfort, even over long distances or on broken roads. However, it is also surprising in the speed of climb and stiffness in sprints. Compared to the TCR range, it offers a more comfortable endurance fit, has a shorter upper frame tube, a slightly extended wheelbase and a slightly raised head tube. The seatpost and handlebars utilize D-Fuse technology to absorb unwanted shocks and vibrations and provide maximum performancecomfort. Higher comfort is also ensured by the very thin and flat seat struts on the rear construction, which also accommodates tires up to 700x32C. Disc brakes provide higher efficiency and better braking force dosing than rim brakes, even on wet surfaces. On the front and rear wheels you will find 12 mm fixed axles for higher rigidity of the whole. The eye of the aesthetics will delight with hilarious details such as the bowden cable routing inside or the integrated seatpost clamp hidden in the frame.
