Due to the tight supply situation for individual components, bikes may sometimes be delivered with deviating equipment. However, any alternative components used will be of a corresponding quality to that of the original components.

Technologies of the Giant DEFY ADVANCED 1.
Advanced Composite – GIANT’s high-performance carbon fiber is used to make this special carbon frame material, which is woven and processed in-house and has an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front frame triangle is molded as a single piece. The modified monocoque construction eliminates the outer braided composite layer. This reduces weight without compromising ride quality, stability or stiffness.
D-Fuse – The seatpost and handlebar with D-Fuse technology are designed to work as a system to absorb shock and vibration from the road so you can ride farther and faster.
OverDrive – GIANT’s original oversized fork steerer. Built for steering precision, the extra-large headset bearings (1 1/4″ bottom, 1 1/8″ top) and tapered steerer tube deliver optimal front-end stiffness.
Compact Road Design – The Compact Road design was introduced by GIANT with professional team ONCE in the 1990s and revolutionized the look of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping top tube creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It facilitates the perfect fit for riders of all sizes.
