Defy Advanced 1 - Charcoal/Milky Way

LIGHTWEIGHT CARBON ENDURANCE ROAD BIKE
The Defy is engineered to push boundaries without complicating matters. It eschews elements like bushings, bearings, or shock absorbers. No frills, just advanced engineering focused on enhancing long-distance performance with greater reliability and fewer maintenance concerns.

Functional Simplicity
The frame is devoid of unnecessary gadgets and stands as one of the lightest in its category. In essence, less is indeed more. Striking a perfect balance between performance and comfort, this Defy model delivers exactly what is required for modern endurance road rides.

Designed for Shock Absorption
The Advanced-grade carbon frame and fork are meticulously crafted for endurance road rides. They ensure a smooth and efficient ride quality that significantly reduces fatigue over long distances. The innovative D-Fuse components work in unison to absorb shocks and vibrations, enhancing rider comfort.

Total Control
The newly introduced D-Fuse handlebar, with its ergonomic design and 8-degree flare, provides comfort and control during extended rides. The wide, hookless carbon rims (22.4 mm internal width) are optimized for high-volume tubeless tires (up to 38 mm) and feature a rim depth of 36 mm. This design ensures stable and reliable handling across various surfaces, from smooth asphalt to challenging cobblestones.
