Greater efficiency with little effort and improved comfort, the new Defy Advance helps you pedal harder and longer. The composite frame and specially designed components make rough roads smoother and reduce fatigue to a minimum.
Simplicity. Free of bulky gimmicks, the frame is one of the lightest in its category. With a perfect balance of high-performance responsiveness and all-day comfort, it offers a "less is more" experience for modern road endurance riding.
Design comfort. The advanced composite frame and fork were designed specifically for road endurance, offering a smooth and efficient ride quality that minimizes fatigue on long rides. New D-Fuse components work together to further absorb road shocks and vibrations.
Total Control. The new Contact D-Fuse handlebar features an ergonomic shape and an 8-degree angle to ensure comfort and control on all-day rides. The hookless carbon rims (22.4mm internal width) are optimized for high-volume tubeless tires (up to 38mm), while the 36mm rim depth offers handling and stability in crosswinds.
