2018 Giant Defy Advanced 3 : Tiagra : Carbon Smoke / Blue / Neon Green

Season:2018

Brand:Giant

Code:801023

Giant are in the business of creating high quality product that offer genuine value for money. To this end, their Advanced ranges of carbon bikes - be that Defy, TCR or Propel - all use the high grade (and indeed benchmark) Torayca Carbon fibre married to high quality resins, in processes that they control from start to finish. The result is the finest quality entry level carbon bikes on the market.

Recently re-designed, the Defy Advanced series uses the upgraded Torayca T700 carbon frameset. This lends greater stiffness and lower weight to an already strong performer and coupled with an excellent component package, the Defy Advanced range is difficult to beat for the discerning cyclist looking to venture into the carbon road bike realm.

The exclusive use of disc brakes in the carbon line-up continues for the 2018 season and adds an element of confidence for the sportive rider or solo mile-muncher who enjoys descending and riding whatever the conditions. All Giant's Defy Advanced models now employ the stopping prowess of hydraulic actuated disc brake calipers. The Advanced 3 sees the continuation for the 2018 season, of Giant's own CONDUCT braking system that marries the cost effective cable pull of the standard mechanical Tiagra shift-lever with the actuation of hydraulic calipers via a TRP manufactured system. Offering more powerful braking than Shimano's own entry level full hydraulic system, this design also allows for the use of smaller, more pleasing to the eye, 140mm disc rotors.

A Shimano 20 Speed Tiagra groupset remains the componentry of choice while Giant's SR 2 disc wheels handle rolling duties so you have everything you need from a carbon bike for churning out the miles, be those commuting or endurance riding. Like the bulk of Giant's Avail and Defy ranges, the Advanced features a D-Fuse seatpost - so called as its profile is shaped like a D and diffuses unwanted vibration to create a more comfortable ride.

Designed around the proven endurance geometry of the Defy range and handcrafted with lightweight, smooth riding Advanced grade composite, the frame delivers speed, confidence and control. The rear triangle features ultra thin, flattened seat stays to reduce road vibrations and the D-Fuse seatpost helps smooth out the road. Disc brake technology with integrated flat mount technology gives you more control in all types of weather. So however far you ride, Defy Advanced helps you stay strong to the finish.

  • Frame: Advanced-Grade Composite, Electronic Ready
  • Fork: Advanced-Grade Composite, Hybrid OverDrive Steerer
  • Drivetrain: Shimano Tiagra 20 speed
  • Brakes: Giant CONDUCT hydraulic disc brakes, 140mm rotors
  • Wheels: Giant SR 2 Disc Wheel Set

  • 2018 Giant Defy Advanced 3 : Tiagra : Carbon Smoke / Blue / Neon Green review by Andrew , on 27/04/2020

    I have a 2018 Giant Defy Advanced 3, talk about a bike to totally exceed expectations. Initially bought it used- but “as new” as a winter bike upgrade from my long serving Alux SL Defy, however - I am still riding it in the finer months, minus its mudguards etc into the finer months. Says it all - frame is outstanding, sure the SR2 wheels are a bit hefty, but what do you expect on a bike costing £1500 with a frame of this quality and decent hydraulic brakes. The only thing I would say - is if you are buying this as your only bike, pay the extra for 105 version over Tiagra. There is nothing really wrong with Tiagra, but the extra money for 105 and the PR2 wheels over the SR2 will be worth it.
