Giant Defy Advanced 2 bike

The new and radically redesigned generation of Defy Advanced models is designed so that it has no competition in its class in the category of endurance road bikes. It is the perfect choice for very long rides or Gran Fondo races. A precisely engineered carbon frame and purpose-built components dampen shock and minimize fatigue.

Functional simplicity
The new frameset is designed and engineered to provide perfect bike handling while being one of the lightest in its category. Thanks to the perfect balance between high-performance reactivity and all-day comfort, it brings - according to the motto "less is more" - the perfect experience of endurance road driving.

Tuned compliance
The Advanced Composite carbon frame is specifically designed for endurance riding and provides a smooth and efficient ride quality that minimizes fatigue, even on very long rides. New D-Fuse components work together to further dampen road bumps and vibrations.

Perfect handling
The new Contact D-Fuse handlebars are characterized by ergonomic shaping for greater comfort and 8-degree lateral bending for better controllability. Wide aluminum rims are optimized for wide tubeless tires (up to 38mm) and ensure predictable handling and stability on a wide variety of surfaces, from asphalt to cobblestones.
Level and quality of equipmenthelp
Regular and longer rides

Especially suitable for sports enthusiasts who like to spend time on wheels after work or over the weekend. Suitable for regular riding and training. Usually fitted with components that are the golden middle when it comes to reliability and durability.

The size table is indicative , you can find the exact measurements and geometry of the given models on the websites of the manufacturer Giant and Liv.

All bicycles at the MTBIKER shop are new, not-ridden, from an official distributor and with a full warranty. Several brands even offer a lifetime warranty on the frame after registration. We perform all warranty services in MTBIKER stores after personal delivery or after sending the bike (or its part) by courier.

Our bike shipment is as follows:
  1. The bicycle is taken out of the manufacturer's box
  2. The bicycle is assembled, inspected and adjusted (front and rear derailleur, shock, fork, wheels,...)
  3. The bicycle is carefully packaged back into a box and shipped
  4. If you order a bike for in-person pick-up or home delivery, the bike will be waiting for you assembled and checked
  5. If you order a bicycle via courier to your home address, the following must be done at home:
    1. Take the bike out of the box and carefully remove safety material and foils
    2. Mount handlebar to stem (1 minute, 4 or 5 mm hex hey is needed).
    3. Mount front wheel to fork (1 minute, without the need of any tools if the bike has a quick release).
    4. Loosen the screws in the headset, straighten the stem with the front wheel, tighten the upper screw on the fork and then tighten the headset (2 minutes, 4 or 5 mm hex key is needed).
    5. Mount the pedals to the cranks while lubricating the thread and carefully mounting it the right way (1 minute, 8 mm hex key or 15 mm wrench).
    6. Mount seat post to frame (10 seconds, without needing any tools if the frame has a quick link).
    7. Inflate the tires or fork and shock to desired pressure (2 minutes, pump needed).
    8. Check the tightening of hex keys and quick-releases (2 minutes, 4 and 5 mm hex key is needed).
    9. Go for a test drive! Handle your bicycle carefully until you get used to it. If the bike has disc brakes, their performance will be limited from now on - they will gain their full power after 4-5 strong brakes at higher speed.

Variant Giant Defy Advanced 2 bicykel, bay leaf

The ride is slightly sportier than the 2019 model, the 12-speed 105 gears shift 100%, the 11-36z cassette is very good for hills. Weight without pedals 9.0kg (the carbon version will probably be a little lighter)

Variant Giant Defy Advanced 2 28 bicykel, carbon

SK Dobrý deň, rád by som sa informoval ohľadne veľkosti M a kombinácie s výškou postavy 173cm, podľa tabuliek je to spodná hranica M a nad vrchnou hranicou S, bolo by pripadne mozne doručiť na jednu predajňu obidve veľkosti na vyskúšanie? Ďakujem pekne 🙂

SK Dobrý deň,
pri výške 173 cm sa nachádzate na hranici - kde obe veľkosti dávajú zmysel, no každá ponúkne iný pocit z jazdy.

Veľkosť S: Bicykel bude hravejší, obratnejší a ľahšie ovládateľný. Posed bude o niečo športovejší (nižšie položené riadidlá).
Menší rám sa dá lepšie nastaviť - teda dlhší predstavec ak je treba alebo sedlovka ktorá ma offest.

Veľkosť M: Ponúkne vám väčšiu stabilitu a komfort na dlhých trasách, čo k modelu Defy (endurance geometria) prirodzene sedí. Nastavenie je ale trocha horšie - teda je možnosť kratšieho predstavca, no sedlovka skôr bez offsetu.
Sedlovka by následne bola zasunutá dosť v ráme, kde to nevyzerá následne dobre a taktiež z hľadiska posedu to nie je až tak optimálne.

Odporúčam skôr teda veľkosť "S" - nakoľko posed môže byť viac športovo ladený - bicykel bude lešie sedieť a bude aj pekne vyzerať - teda dostatočne vysoko sedlovka, dlhší predstavec a podobne.

Je možné si objednať veľkosť "S" na predajňu a vyskúšať. Ak budete mať dojem, že bicykel je pre Vás malý, vieme objednať veľkosť "M".

SK Dobrý deň, ďakujem za rýchlu odpoveď, podľa Vášho popisu by som preferoval skôr veľkosť M, predpokladám že možnosť objednať menšieho v prípade že M nebude vyhovovať, bude rovnako dostupná, a ešte jedna otázka, je možne si bike objednať na predajňu na vyskúšanie a v prípade že bude všetko v poriadku si ho dať odoslat domov kuriérom? ( Kuriéra nemám problém zaplatiť) Ďakujem pekne, s pozdravom Pešta

SK Dobrý deň,
samozrejme rozumiem - teda kľudne to "M"ko objednajte.
Áno vieme poslať aj kuriérom prípadne naším autom ak bývate v okolí.
Je potrebné to doriešiť následne na predajni pri kúpe bicykla.

SK Dobrý deň, ďakujem za všetky informácie, po siahodlhom rozmýšlaní objednám Sko, keby pri vyskúšaní nevyhovovalo, objednáme Mko, s pozdravom Pešta

Variant Giant Defy Advanced 2 bicykel, bay leaf

Hi, can I come and try on size M (currently the last piece in Hrádek) in the Košice store before paying?
or do you have to pay first and choose personal collection in KE and if it doesn't suit you, you get your money back..?

SK Dobrý deň,

Môžete si na bicykel vytvoriť objednávku s osobným odberom a platbou pri prevzatí. Na základe objednávky bicykel presunieme a budeme informovať o možnosti odberu/vyskúšania. Ak nebude sedieť, objednávku neprevezmete.

Hello, will size M be big for a person who is 170 cm tall?

SK Dobrý deň,

Na vašu výšku by sa hodila skôr veľkosť S. Mko bude veľké. Máte záujem o konkrétne túto farbu alebo by mohla byť aj iná? Preverili by sme dostupnosť u výrobcu.
