Ride like a pro on the most advanced ALUXX SL aluminum frame yet. Giant flexes some engineering
muscle to produce a lighter, stiffer tubeset than before, with better ride tuning, so you get the best of
everything.

— Composite fork with OverDrive steerer
— Alex rims, Formula hubs/stainless spokes wheelet with Kenda Kriterium Tires

**Toptube is measured from the center of the headtube horizontally back to the top of the effective extension of the seattube
***Standover height is based on the largest size tire that will fit the bike, not necessarily the included size tire

frame geometry
It’s a new year, and an all-new Defy. Race-inspired engineering with an all-new tubeset from
the world leader in aluminum technology. Defy is lighter to help with the climbs, stiffer to
maximize power transfer and just plain faster than its closest competitor.
