About this product
The Giant Defy Advanced is a large-frame carbon fiber road bike with 700C wheels and clincher tires, featuring a white finish. It comes equipped with a 20-speed derailleur gear system operated by road bike shifters and traditional mechanical rim brakes. Designed for unisex adults, this bike offers a no-suspension setup for direct power transfer. Its carbon fiber material makes it a lightweight option for road cycling enthusiasts.
Our take
As a road cyclist, the Giant Defy Advanced in a large carbon frame immediately caught my eye. The carbon fiber construction is a major plus for reducing weight and enhancing ride quality, which is crucial for long distances. The 20-speed derailleur system offers ample gearing options for varied terrain, and the 700C wheels with clincher tires are standard and reliable. However, it's important to note that it uses mechanical rim brakes rather than hydraulic discs, which might be a consideration for some riders seeking more modern stopping power. Also, the complete lack of suspension means you'll feel more of the road.
