While many of the big brands are turning their endurance road bikes into more rugged ‘all-road’ bikes, Giant has gone
Comfort
Light weight
Lively ride feel
Easy handling
Expansive spec range
Size range could be wider
Proprietary steerer limits stem choice

Light and superbly comfortable endurance bike in a super-high build, but look lower down the range for the best bargain
Excellent frameset
Comfortable
Light
High-end spec
Not many people will spend this amount
Tweaked geometry won't suit all

The fast, flighty, flagship Defy is pure road bike heaven
Light
Smooth
Superbike specification
Sublime handling
Press fit bottom bracket may divide opinion
Sep 2023 · James Huang
Giant’s fifth-generation premium carbon fiber endurance road bike, updated with a lighter chassis, additional tire clearance, and a more refined ride quality.
Impressively lightweight
Composed ride quality
Quick handling
Some semblance of cockpit customization
Looks brilliant.
Composed-but-not-cushy ride quality
Handling is arguably too quick
Questionable wheelset spec
Still a proprietary stem.
