Giant Defy 3 2015 - Road Bike

Fast and versatile, the Giant Defy 3 is a road bike built for endurance. Fatigue reducing features and a relaxed riding position mean that you will be able to perform at your best on long rides.

The ALUXX aluminium frame, designed to be stiff yet compliant, is paired with an Advanced-Grade carbon fibre composite fork - the same as on the Defy 0 - reducing ?road buzz?. The PowerCore bottom bracket area ensures efficient power transfer. Steering is sharp and precise courtesy of the extra stiffness provided by the OverDrive steerer.

The Shimano Sora 18 speed drivetrain provides reliable shifting with a wide range of gears for taking on the climbs and flying down descents.

Designed for long rides the Giant Defy 3 will take on a sportive and is also great for short hacks and commuting.
