Giant Defy Advanced 1 700c - Orion Nebula- 2023

Choose the Longer Route. Climb Higher Mountains.

This smooth-riding endurance road bike is designed for long-distance rides on all types of roads, offering comfort and efficiency over any terrain.

Lightweight Carbon Endurance Road Bike

With its new composite chassis, this endurance road bike combines efficiency with compliance, enabling you to log more miles at a higher average speed. The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar, both with D-shaped tubing, work together to absorb shocks and vibrations, ensuring a smooth ride on even the roughest roads. The new Contact AeroLight stem features cleanly integrated cable routing, and the frameset offers clearance for high-volume tires up to 38mm.

Techs & Features

• Advanced Composite Technology: Constructed with Giant’s High Performance Grade carbon material, this custom frame features a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle is molded as a single piece using Modified Monocoque Construction for added strength.

• D-Fuse Technology: The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar are designed to absorb road shocks and vibrations, allowing for longer, more comfortable rides.

• OverDrive: The D-shaped fork steerer tube and spacers offer an aerodynamic system with internally routed brake and derailleur cables, making it easier to service.

• Compact Road Design: This design, pioneered by Giant with Team ONCE in the 1990s, features a downward-sloping toptube for a lighter, stiffer bike and an improved fit for riders of all sizes.

• Tubeless System: Experience fewer flat tires, greater traction, reduced rolling resistance, and a smoother ride with Giant’s Tubeless System.
