The Giant Defy is for going longer. It’s for climbing higher, riding faster, and doing it all with confidence and smooth control.

Ditch the tyres and you have a fast, sweet-handling endurance machine that doesn't panic at speed
Great ride quality from the frameset
Decent tyre clearance
Geometry gives smooth handling
Tyres feel a little 'wooden'
Not the greatest value spec-wise
