Giant Defy 1 2015 - Road Bike

Providing true race performance with the comfort you need on long rides the Giant Defy 1 is one of the most versatile road bikes on the market. With its endurance frame design and high performance groupset the Defy 1 will enable you to ride at your best mile after mile.

Redesigned for 2015, the ALUXX grade aluminium frame is now even more compliant. The D-Fuse seat post and tapered seat stays are engineered to dissipate the vibrations caused by riding over uneven road surfaces. This significantly reduces fatigue over long rides. There is no loss of performance however. The oversized PowerCore bottom bracket area provides excellent lateral stiffness for efficient power transfer.

Steering is sharp and precise due to the Advanced-Grade composite fork with OverDrive tapered steerer. The carbon fibre fork also helps to reduce ?road buzz?.

New for 2015, the 11 speed Shimano 105 groupset offers reliable, high performance, gear shifting. The FSA Gossamer Pro crankset is very stiff helping you to get the power down efficiently when you stamp on the pedals.

Whether you are looking to take on a sportive, want a comfortable bike for long road rides or a fast commuter bike, the Giant Defy 1 is an excellent choice.
