Giant Advanced Defy 1 2022 Bike

Choose the longer route. Climb higher mountains. This smooth-riding endurance road bike is made for long-distance
rides on all types of roads.

Key Performance Factors

Engineered Compliance

Advanced Composite frame is engineered for endurance road riding. The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar absorb road
shocks and vibrations, and its smooth ride quality means you’ll feel less fatigue on long rides.

Total Control

Seamless disc brake integration including flat mounts and 12mm front and rear thru-axles produces more consistent
braking power for better control, even in wet weather and on rough roads.

Versatility

Endurance road geometry, plenty of tire clearance (up to 35mm), and disc-brake integration allow you to tackle a
variety of roads and conditions, from smooth pavement to rugged mountain passes.

Technology

Advanced Composite Technology

Giant’s High Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite
factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one
continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.

D-Fuse Technology

The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar were designed to function as a system, absorbing road shocks and vibrations so you
can ride farther, faster.

OverDrive

Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance,
the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road, 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for
mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.

Compact Road Design

Introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE in the 1990s, Compact Road revolutionized the look and feel of
high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping toptube (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller
front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a
perfect fit.

Tubeless System

Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System
makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.
