2016 Giant Defy 2 : Dark Blue

Season:2016

Brand:Giant

Code:601011

SCR, OCR and for a while now the Defy. However it has been called one thing has remained consistent : the ride quality. Every iteration of Giant's excellent Aluminium road platform has received plaudits from industry writers and riders alike. The Defy has won numerous publications' 'Best Bike' Award across a range of prices not to mention the coveted Bike Of The Year award. 

The current aluminium Defy range is stronger than ever and there is something for all riders looking for a bike at or under the £1000 mark. This season Giant have doubled up on some models and are offering a Disc or Caliper brake version.

The Defy 2 and Defy 2 Disc are the first bikes in the Aluminium range to feature Giant's higher grade AluxX SL frameset which offers improvements across the board; from stiffness to lower weight, the refined handling and response are a definite bonus over and above the Defy 3. This caliper equipped Defy 2 features components from Shimano in the form of their new Tiagra 4700 10 speed groupset. The new shifters bring the cable routing under the bar tape in line with the more expensive groups in the range helping to enhance the aestheitc as well as giving better shifting and braking results. Like the Defy 1 and 0, the Defy 2 features Giant's Press Fit bottom bracket for greater power transfer and a more reactive ride when you put the power down.  

Built on a frame made with lightweight ALUXX SL aluminium and proven Defy endurance geometry, the Defy is a versatile choice for everyday road rides or long weekend adventures. Featuring the D-Fuse seatpost to smooth out the ride, it’s a well mannered machine even on less than perfect roads. And its combination of the OverDrive tapered steerer tube and PowerCore bottom bracket ensures precise handling and maximum pedalling efficiency, helping you stay at the head of the pack.

  • ALUXX SL-Grade Aluminum
  • Hybrid Composite, OverDrive Steerer
  • Shimano Tiagra 20 speed
  • Tektro TK-R312 Giant Specific, Dual Pivot
  • Giant S-R2 WheelSet
