2016 Giant Defy Advanced Pro 2 : Metallic Blue : 2016 BIKE OF THE YEAR

Season:2016

Brand:Giant

Code:601033

Well, we called it back in August 2015 when we said that this Defy would set a new benchmark! As prophesied, the Giant Defy Advanced PRO 2 is Cycling Weekly's Endurance Road Bike Of The Year 2016!

Giant have a very purist approach to frame design. Unlike others using split frame design or frame inserts to achieve compliance or force distribution etc, Giant's is a Pure Engineering approach and they have created a range of frames that out-perform the competition across the board, from stiffness and weight to compliance and strength.

Giant are in the business of creating high quality product that displays genuine value for money. To this end, their Advanced Pro 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 a range of the finest quality carbon bikes on the market.

Re-designed last season, the Defy Advanced Pro series retains the upgraded Torayca T700 carbon frameset of last year which it shares with it's little brother; the Advanced. The difference between the two ranges is small but significant. The Advanced Pro range features a full carbon fork with carbon steerer (rather than aluminium) which makes for a more direct feeling front end and which also shaves weight from the bike. This fork also features Giant's Overdrive 2 headtube which uses a 11/4" upper bearing and a 11/2" lower for exceptional handling and responsiveness. In addition, all Advanced Pro models feature Giant's new saddles as developed with the Pro Team; upgraded finishing kit and Giant's own wheel systems with hub internals manufactured by DT Swiss for greater performance and longevity. Strong component selection at each price point in the Pro range make these ideal for those investing a lot of time in the saddle and who are keen sportive or endurance riders. Competitively priced some £200 cheaper than last year's Bike Of The Year and with the same specification, the Giant Defy Advanced Pro 2 is set to be a popular model indeed. The proven handling and control afforded by the endurance geometry and oversized headtube married to a strong, high performing component package deliver great ride characteristics on a bike that will serve beautifully in all conditions for years to come. We're tipping this to take back the prestigious BOTY award this year!

Engineered for real world performance, even on rough roads and the longest days. 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 full composite fork work together to boost front end stiffness and precision. New disc brake technology and the vibration damping D-Fuse seatpost enhance control and comfort. The PowerCore bottom bracket turns every pedal stroke into positive forward motion, helping you stay strong all the way to the finish.
