Giant knows its customers, and the Defy Composite 1 is proof that they’re listening to you. Using the same T-600 carbon material as the TCR Composite 1 road racer, the Defy Composite 1 is a masterpiece of efficiency and comfort.

The OverDrive head tube will still give the Defy Composite 1 sharp, sure-footed handling, while Shimano Ultegra components shift and brake better than ever. Even the P-SL1 wheelset is the same as its racier TCR sibling. A test ride will tell you more about how you can ride farther and faster at a price that will impress more>>
