2017 Giant Defy Advanced Pro 1 : Ultegra : Black/Blue/Orange

Season:2017

Brand:Giant

Code:701041

The Defy Advanced Pro range shares the same fundamental construction as the SL range save for a few things : the Integrated seatpost, the grade of carbon fibre used and certain construction processes. While the SL frames and forks feature Torayca T800 fibre throughout, the Advanced Pro utilises the slightly lower modulus T700. Ultimately this means that the Advanced Pro range is marginally heavier and fractionally less stiff as a result. With that said, we are talking about low single-digit percentages and the average rider looking to push their distances up or increase their time in the saddle could do very much worse than the impressive Giant Defy Advanced Pros.

The Defy Advanced Pro features a new resin and construction process. Advances in the frame construction include vibration-absorbing particles to disperse road shock. Not only are the Giant Defy Advanced Pro frames real performance pieces, they are also all hand-made, demonstrating the incredible value inherent within when you consider their price and that of the competition. All the 2017 Defy Advanced Pro models feature hydraulic disc brakes and 35mm deep Tubeless ready Carbon SLR 1 wheel systems designed in conjunction with DT Swiss and the same Contact SL handlebar and stem. Saddles are also Contact SL across the board and are the NEUTRAL shape for an endurance position. All sit on top of Giant's impressively comfortable D-Fuse SL carbon seatpost. This makes viewing the range pretty simple from a potential purchase perspective, since the only thing to consider is groupset and this will largely be dictated by budget - just beware of the notorious budget-creep - it's very easy to get drawn in by the Advanced Pro range.

This Defy Advanced Pro 1 is the bike for those looking for a lightweight, mechanical groupset to handle the rigours of their endurance riding with the ability to service yourself - be that roadside or in your man-cave. Shimano's Ultegra is tried and tested and will yield effortless shifts mile after mile. Braking is handled by RS805 hydraulic discs for enhanced stopping in any and all conditions. The brake's graduated lever feel ensures that you don't launch yourself and the modulation is superb offering handfuls of control.

Giant provide their own hoops in the form of their 35mm full carbon clincher SLR1. Giant's wheels are manufactured in-house from only the highest grades of fibre and in collaboration with their long-term partner DT Swiss. Giant design the wheel system from rim to lacing pattern and DT supply the Hub internals, like the Star Ratchet freehub system, and spokes. The wheels aren't just another hop on the carbon band-wagon though. Giant have developed a proprietary lacing they call Dynamic Balance Lacing, whereby there is not only different tension between drive and non-drive spokes but also between the 'Pushing and 'Pulling' spokes on the Drive side itself. Giant claim that this Dynamic system allows for better transmission of the drive forces for greater balance, power transfer and longevity. All good things we think you'd agree! 

The combination of components and Giant's all-round carbon wheel set makes the Defy Advanced Pro 1 a very serious proposition indeed. There is little to want for and the asking price is more than reasonable

Engineered for real-world performance, especially on challenging roads and long days in the saddle. The Advanced-grade composite frame features endurance geometry with the perfect blend of light weight, stiffness and road-smoothing compliance. The OverDrive 2 steerer tube and composite fork work together to boost front-end stiffness and precision. Disc brake technology with 12mm front and rear thru-axles gives you total control, even on rough roads and poor conditions. The D-Fuse seatpost smooths out road vibrations and the PowerCore bottom bracket turns every pedal stroke into positive forward motion.

  • Frame: Advanced-Grade Composite, Electronic Ready
  • Fork: Advanced-Grade Composite, Full-Composite OverDrive 2 Steerer
  • Drivetrain: Shimano Ultegra 22 speed
  • Brakes: Shimano BR-RS805 hydraulic disc brakes, 140mm rotors
  • Wheels: Giant SLR 1 Disc WheelSystem
