Sport/Performance

This bicycle was produced by hand in Waterloo, WI, using the same molds and techniques as the Madone 6.9 SSL of the same year. The bicycle uses Trek's proprietary OCLV 110 carbon fiber material for very light weight and impressive torsional strength. An aggressive geometry provides nimble handling and lightning-fast pedaling response, especially during uphill, out-of-the-saddle efforts. Up front, a 1-1/8" Cane Creek external-cup headset holds the lightweight Bontrager Race X Lite OCLV 110 carbon fiber fork. The Madone's cables are all externally routed, allowing easy servicing in the field.

The Livestrong Madone bicycles feature real gold leaf panels on the top tube, down tube and seat tube. Lance Armstrong's signature appears across the top tube under the clearcoat. Yellow highlights and custom graphics adorn the bike and many of the components.

Shimano's 10-speed 7800 Dura Ace components are found throughout the bike, including the dual-control levers, both derailleurs, both multi-pivot brake calipers, and the 12-25T cassette. Long service life and precise operation can be expected for years to come from Shimano's best pro-level components. A Bontrager crankset with carbon fiber arms, 53/39T chainrings and matching custom graphics is an impressive centerpiece to the Livestrong Madone. Bontrager Race X Lite alloy wheels also feature custom yellow spokes and carbon fiber hubs, and are wrapped with 700x23mm Bontrager tires. A Bontrager carbon fiber seatpost, Bontrager saddle, Race XXX Lite carbon fiber stem and OCLV carbon fiber handlebar also boast custom yellow graphics.

A legend reborn. The bike that has been at the leading edge of road racing innovation for more than three decades is redesigned to be even lighter, stiffer, and more aerodynamic. It’s the ultimate all-rounder for the performance-obsessed. Updated and improved in all aspects of road racing performance, the new TCR Advanced SL Disc achieves a previously unobtainable stiffness-to-weight ratio for faster climbing and sprinting, plus new aerodynamic gains for all-around efficiency. It’s the choice of CCC Team WorldTour racers like Greg Van Avermaet on challenging road courses that demand uncompromised performance in the pursuit of victory. New aerodynamic tube shaping on the headtube, downtube, and fork makes it a killer on breakaways, sprints, and solo chase efforts. The new TCR Advanced SL Disc also builds on its proven climbing capabilities, boasting the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio ever seen in a TCR. Additional key updates include added clearance in the frame and fork to fit larger diameter tires up to 32mm, the latest integrated WheelSystem technology, and a new aero-engineered Contact SLR composite handlebar to make it even faster against the wind. Class-leading efficiency - With the highest pedaling stiffness-to-weight ratio of any bike in its class and updated aero tube shaping, this frameset is engineered to give Giant pro road racers superior climbing capabilities, aerodynamic efficiency, and sprint stiffness for race-winning performance.

This might be the best-tech-for-your-dollar road bicycle that Trek has ever made. The previous year saw an outstanding frame design -complete with high-performance Ultegra Di2 components and carbon fiber wheels- capture the attention of customers and industry journalists alike. But Trek's engineers knew they shouldn't rest on their laurels for long. They had to make the Domane SL 7 even better. Streamlining is the new approach to speed, even if the ride is over hundreds of miles. The Engineers in Waterloo started with a clean sheet of paper and added a sleek new chassis to the Domane SL series. Trek's exclusive 500 Series OCLV carbon fiber has been shaped to be aerodynamic as well as lightweight for the 2020 version of the Domane SL 7. Kammtail Virtual Foil (or KVF) tube shapes are found across the entire frameset, reducing drag and instability from crosswinds. The cables and brake hosing have been tucked away behind the steerer tube, hidden from the wind. Even a rider's tools and repair kit no longer require a seat bag, but instead are stored inside the downtube behind a panel under the bottle cage mount. The included Bontrager Integrated Tool Storage -or BITS- bag keeps your flat fixing kit organized. Cool, huh? The rest of the Domane's features that have made it such a performer in the last 7 years are still there. The cobblestone-eating front and rear IsoSpeed decouplers remain, making the Domane SL 7 an exceptional bike for centuries, "challenge" rides and multi-surface excursions. A tapered head tube adds an extra dash of precision to every high-speed turn, while an oversized T47 bottom bracket ensures flex-free power delivery with every pedal stroke. An aperture in the left chainstay allows the installation of a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately), eliminating the need for clumsy zip-ties. A long wheelbase adds a stable feel when traversing choppy tarmac. Need even wider tires? The Domane SL 7 can fit rubber up to 38mm wide! If you need fenders, removable fender mounts will allow fenders as well as tires up to 35mm. The Domane's characteristic upright fit is still here, allowing a wider range of riders -and rider flexibilities- to get comfortable. With nine sizes, nearly everyone can fit on a Domane SL road bicycle! Shimano's 11-speed Ultegra Di2 components are a perfect match with the updated Domane SL. Shimano's electronic shifting is always lightning-quick, with a single battery charge lasting over 900 miles. The Li-Ion battery itself is stored inside the seat tube, shielding it from dirt and bad weather. The Ultegra dual-control levers have a slim, familiar shape not too different from their mechanical versions. Even the updated lever hoods are more comfortable on multi-hour rides. The rear derailleur's Shadow-style profile makes every gear change quicker, even when under hard pedaling loads. With room for an 11-34T Shimano cassette, the Domane SL 7's ability to help with fearsome inclines is even better. A rigid 50/34T Ultegra compact crankset ensures excellent power transfer, as well as an aerodynamic profile. The 2020 Domane SL 7 make wide tires perform better with Bontrager's carbon fiber Aeolus Pro 3V wheelset. They're tubeless-ready, and boast the same bullet-nosed profile as their Pro 3 wheelset that resists crosswinds as well as headwinds. The " 3V" version of this Aeolus Pro wheelset refers to the 25mm internal width, giving any given tire over 28mm a better contact patch on pavement, gravel or hardpan. Traction equals speed and control, and the Aeolus 3V's help make you faster everywhere. Shimano's hydraulic Ultegra disc brakes add confident stopping power in all conditions, rain or shine. The Domane's seatpost replaces the mast-and-cap feature on the previous generation of the Domane SL. The back of the seatpost clamp allows the installation of a rechargeable daylight-visible rear light instead of a saddle pack. If you hide your tools in the frame with the included BITS bag, the top of the seatpost is the best place to mount a tail light. Bontrager's Arvada Comp saddle provides a comfortable seat, while an accessory-ready alloy Pro Blendr stem puts lights and a computer (sold separately) front and center. An alloy Bontrager Elite IsoZone VR-CF road handlebar finishes off this cobblestone conquerer. A Shimano charging cable is included with the purchase of this bicycle.

Yes, you read that right. The Gant Defy Advanced Pro 0 is equipped with a watt-measuring dual-sided power meter straight out of the box.

There is, of course, plenty more that Giant can brag about with the Defy Advanced Pro 0. Lots more...

The Defy series of road bikes was designed to carry a rider over less-than-perfect surfaces, keeping them fresh for a final climb or finish line sprint. This is the Defy flagship for 2019, built around Giant's own Advanced-Grade Composite carbon fiber frame and fork. Astonishing lightness and an upright fit are only the opening features of the Defy Advanced Pro 0's frameset. The frameset's carbon fiber "recipe" was redone for 2019 to provide a more compliant ride and improved torsional strength. The faceted MegaDrive down tube takes advantage of the new carbon fiber layup, improving overall frame strength and pedaling response. In addition, the 1-1.25"-by-1.5" tapered OverDrive2 head tube/steerer tube adds precision to the Defy Advanced Pro 0's handling, especially in fast turns and descents. A press-fit PowerCore bottom bracket also eliminates power-robbing flex at the crankset. Internal cable routing keeps the Defy Advanced Pro 0 looking clean and sleek, while an aperture in the left chainstay fits the included RideSense speed/cadence sensor without the use of clumsy zip-ties. Flat-mount disc brake installation promotes even pad wear over time as well as better brake lever feedback. The bike's overall geometry feels stable over rough and choppy pavement without handling like a Winnebago.

Shimano's iconic Ultegra group gets a full redesign with their 11-speed Di2/hydraulic disc brake "R8070" version. The new dual-control levers have been substantially reshaped from the previous ST-R785 version, making the levers more comfortable for riders with smaller hands. The lever reach is also more adjustable than ever. Under the levers' hood peak is a flush button that can be programmed (with Shimano's E-tube software) to operate the rear derailleur. Shift buttons have a more positive detent, making operation with heavy gloves much easier. The redesigned Shadow-style Ultegra Di2 rear derailleur features a more tucked-in profile for improved aero drag and faster operation while shifting under load. The front Ultegra Di2 derailleur has a reprofiled cage that reduces the chance of interfering with a wide rear tire. As always, the front Di2 derailleur automatically trims itself as the rear derailleur moves the chain across the cassette. Cool, huh? Up to 900 miles of riding can be done on a single Di2 battery charge. The recharging aperture is located in the right handlebar end, and has a charge indicator light for ease of use. An Ultegra compact crankset comes with a 50/34T chainring combination, bringing a wide gearing range to the Defy Advanced Pro 0. An 11-34T Shimano Ultegra cassette brings up the rear.

The SLR-1 wheelset found on the Defy Advanced Pro 0 is tubeless-ready, disc-specific and built from Giant's own Composite carbon fiber. Yes, you get carbon fiber wheels straight off the sales floor with the Defy Advanced Pro 0! The lightness, aerodynamics and smooth ride quality of carbon fiber hoops are already on the bike! Wrapped with 700x32c Gavia AC 1 tubeless tires, the Defy's handling over rough and choppy pavement will redefine what a bike can do for a rider looking to cover more miles over unpleasant pavement (or lack thereof...). Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes and SM-RT800 rotors ensure excellent stopping power and brake lever feedback in all conditions, rain or shine.

Now we get to the really good part: This bike includes a power meter preinstalled in the Ultegra crankset. A Power Pro dual-sided power meter will transmit vital metrics to any popular ANT+ head unit (Garmin, Wahoo, Giant NeosTrack, etc.) including watts, cadence, left-to-right pedal balance, and force angle with the aid of a multi-axis accelerometer. 150 hours of operation on a single charge makes training and riding endurance events worry-free. Use a Giant RideLink smartphone app to check battery charge, assist in calibration and update firmware.

Giant brings a proven (and head-slappingly simple) technology to the Defy Advanced Pro 0: D-Fuse. The bike's D-Fuse Composite carbon fiber seatpost has a D-shaped profile, allowing the post to flex backward about 10-12mm when tackling rough pavement. A Contact SL saddle, alloy Contact SL Stealth stem with internal cable routing and carbon fiber D-Fuse road handlebar completes this century dominator.

A Shimano charging cable and Giant Power Pro charging cable is included in the purchase of this bicycle. Additional accessory stem mounts for handlebar computers from Garmin and Wahoo (sold separately) are also included

The current generation Madone has set a very high standard for aero road bikes. Now all that performance can be had for less...

Trek's current Madone has helped pro racers win some of the most prestigious victories in professional racing, including the 2019 world road championships in Yorkshire. Attaining that technological masterpiece is not quite as expensive as it used to be. Welcome to the Madone SL 6 Disc for 2020.

The Madone has been acclaimed as a brilliant aero bike, with very low drag to cheat the wind. The original Madone SLR Disc also boasts incredibly good ride quality -not just for an aero bike, but for road bikes in general- due to an adjustable IsoSpeed seat mast. This clever element of the Madone SL's frame uses a slider on the base of the L-shaped IsoSpeed structure under the top tube. By moving the slider forward or backward, the seatmast can be made stiffer or softer, depending on rider weight, expected riding surfaces or ride distance. Triathletes will appreciate this, knowing that a smooth ride will benefit them during the run. Century riders will also smile, knowing the bike will still be smooth on broken tarmac. Racers will like IsoSpeed since the freshest rider is most likely the fastest in the final sprint to the finish. 

Very light weight is still part of the Madone SL's attributes, thanks to Trek's exclusive 500 Series OCLV carbon fiber used throughout the frame. By using newer flat-mount disc brake installation and an H1.5 fit geometry, the frame of the Madone SL 6 Disc cuts weight in the right places. Like the current Madone SLR, Kammtail Virtual Foil (or KVF) tube shaping in used throughout the Madone SL's frame and fork, making the bike one of the slipperiest road bicycles today. The flattened trailing edge of the frame and fork tubes (the "Kammtails") make the bike far more resistant to gusty crosswinds compared to a classic teardrop shape, as well as cutting weight off the bike. An aperture in the left chainstay for a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately) cuts aero drag by eliminated the need for clumsy zip-ties. Even the 3S chain keeper at the crankset has been given the low-drag treatment. A stout BB90 bottom bracket anchors the crankset for flex-free power delivery with every pedal stroke.

The Domane SL 6 disc uses Shimano's latest R8000 version of their venerable 11-speed Ultegra component group. This ensures precision functionality, long service life and light weight. Here are a few of the highlights:

 

• Redesigned dual-control levers and lever hoods that feature adjustable lever reach and a more comfortable textured grip
• A Shadow-style rear derailleur that improves shift quality and takes up to a 30T rear cog
• A Toggle-pivot front derailleur that requires less hand strength to shift to the large chainring
• A 50/34T compact crankset with a more flattened profile for better aerodynamics as well as stiffness for better power transfer
• Hydraulic disc brakes with improved heat dispersion and 160mm rotors for improved stopping power

 

An 11-28T Ultegra cassette and Ultegra chain add a wide gearing range for challenging courses, as well as precision shifting and low drivetrain friction.

Bontrager supplies the tubeless-ready Aeolus Comp 5 Disc wheelset and 700x25c R3 Hard-Case Lite tires, adding an extra aerodynamic weapon to the Madone SL 6's arsenal. A 50mm deep rim with a bullet-nosed profile not only slices the air in a wider range of wind angles, it handles better in gusty crosswinds. The Madone SL 6's Bontrager Aeolus Comp saddle is a new design that enhances comfort for riders in an aggressive aero position. A conventional alloy Bontrager Pro Blendr stem and alloy Elite Aero VR-CF road handlebar accept clip-on aero bars for triathletes seeking a better bike for technical courses.

The rear derailleur is a Shadow-style unit with a more tucked-in profile that enhances shifting performance as well as being slightly more aero. The front derailleur's cage is tapered to allow wider tires as well. The wheelset of the Hyper XF Disc is a great example of "road plus" design. Widerness Trail Bikes provide the tubeless-ready KOM Tough alloy rims, bringing easy acceleration and wide rim profile. WTB also supplies the wide-flange alloy thru-axle hubs. Brake rotors are installed with 6-bolt mounts. Hydraulic disc brakes have come of age, and Shimano's Ultegra units are clear leaders in the field. The "R-8070" Ultegra flat-mount calipers resist twisting under hard braking, promoting more even pad wear. The brake pads themselves are finned for faster heat dissipation during repeated hard braking, especially when loaded down. Whisky Parts Co. produces the Hyper XF's carbon fiber seatpost, reducing total weight and improving road feel over buzzy washboard surfaces. There's also a Whisky Parts Co. No. 7 alloy stem up front. A Bontrager Arvada Comp saddle provides a comfortable perch for long miles over unpleasant surfaces. Salsa manufactures the 24-degree flared Cowchipper drop handlebar, allowing a more upright posture and better leverage on technical terrain. Gunnar Bicycles offers a wide range of frame designs. options and colors to help make your next bicycle uniquely your own. Please call for details.

Giant brings value to every performance road bicycle they make. The Defy Advanced 1 is no exception!

Can performance and value truly co-exist in a road bicycle? The Defy Advanced 1 demonstrates this with a featherweight Advanced Composite carbon fiber frame, Shimano's latest version of their Ultegra components, and lightweight tubeless alloy wheels. The closer you look at the details of this bicycle, the more it will win you over. Giant's own Advanced-Grade Composite carbon fiber is used with a specific layup to keep weight to a minimum while enhancing torsional strength. The frame design also makes every pedal stroke matter. A tapered OverDrive head tube and massive PowerCore bottom bracket anchor the faceted down tube for instant power transfer and razor-sharp handling. High-speed turns and descents can be attacked with confidence that the bike will go where you point it! Internal cable routing and flat-mount disc brake installation keep the Defy Advanced 1 looking clean and sleek. 12mm thru-axle dropouts align the brake rotors perfectly when installing wheels, as well as adding an extra dash of handling precision. Need a more upright fit? The tall head tube and relaxed geometry makes it easy for a wider range of riders -and rider flexibilities- to get comfortable on the Defy Advanced 1. Looking for even wider rubber than the 32mm stock tires? The Defy Advanced 1 will take up to 35mm tires for really rough roads or hardpan gravel.

Shimano's high-performance Ultegra components have been impressing us for years with incredible durability, lightning-quick operation and very light weight. Those components are found throughout the drivetrain of the Defy Advanced 1, including the dual-control levers, front derailleur, long-cage Shadow-style rear derailleur and wide-range 11-34T cassette. The Ultegra rear derailleur is their clutch-equipped long-cage "RX" version. It does a fantastic job of keeping the chain on the crankset, and not flying off when clattering over railway crossings or potholes. Shimano's mountain bike components have been featuring similar technology for years, and it works like a charm! A Shimano 50/34T compact alloy crankset does power delivery duty.

Rolling stock consists of Giant's own P-R2 Disc tubeless alloy wheels and lightly treaded 700x32c Gavia Fondo 1 tubeless tires. Flats are hardly a problem with the Defy Advanced 1's wheels and tires set up tubeless straight from the factory. There's plenty of stopping power to be found on the Defy Advanced 1 with Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disc brakes. Rain or shine, disc brakes are always better performers compared to rim brakes. A Giant Approach saddle, alloy Contact stem and D-Fuse SL road handlebar complete this exceptional road bike.

Take a look back at the price tag of the Defy Advanced 1 and you'll agree that performance doesn't have to be expensive.

An outstanding bike gets upgrades, starting with wider tubeless tires and an even better frame!

The Avail Advanced series of road bikes has seen improvements to make the bike more effective, more comfortable and even more reliable. The frameset gets a new Advanced Composite carbon fiber "recipe", reducing weight and improving power transfer with every pedal stroke. Up front, the Avail Advanced 1 is equipped with an Advanced-Grade Composite all-carbon fork; an upgrade from the previous alloy/carbon model. A tapered OverDrive head tube improves handling in high-speed turns and descents. A tall head tube and more upright fit accommodates a wider range of riders -and rider flexibilities- for long days in the saddle. The crankset and bottom bracket are set slightly lower than the previous generation, making the bike feel more planted at high speeds.

Shimano's excellent 11-speed Ultegra components are found throughout the drivetrain, including the front derailleur, Shadow-style long-cage rear derailleur, 11-34T cassette and the adjustable-reach dual-control levers. The rear Ultegra derailleur is a clutch-equipped "RX" version that prevents chain drop when tackling rough pavement and railway crossings. An alloy Shimano 50/34T compact crankset does power delivery duties. Precise shifting, long service life and easy operation are all found with every shift on the Avail Advanced 1. The hydraulic disc brakes are also Shimano Ultegra units, offering excellent stopping power in all conditions, rain or shine.

The Avail Advanced 1 comes with tubeless alloy wheels and tires factory installed. The PR-2 Disc wheelset offer an aerodynamic rim profile to slice through the air, while wide-flange hubs improve lateral strength. The 700x32c tubeless Gavia Fondo 1 tires boast a comfy ride quality along with excellent puncture protection with the included sealant. A Liv Approach saddle sits atop a clever D-Fuse Composite carbon fiber seatpost that flexes slightly when crossing railway tracks, broken pavement and potholes. Up front, an alloy Contact stem and Contact SL D-Fuse road handlebar complete this outstanding century conquerer.

The design team and engineers at Trek wanted to keep the best elements of the previous Domane SL 5, but improve the 2020 bike's overall performance in a wider range of conditions. From terrible pavement to relentless hills to gusty crosswinds, the 2020 Domane is better everywhere. The frame and fork were given an aero treatment in several ways, allowing it to slice through the wind with less effort by the rider. Cable routing tucks in behind the stem, making the bike even sleeker. A flat-backed Kammtail shape was used at the back of the frame's down tube and seat tube, reducing drag in headwinds while remaining stable in gusty crosswinds. Aerodynamics weren't the only thing considered for the updated Domane SL 5. Clearance for 38mm tires has been added, allowing for wider, more adventurous rubber. A storage compartment in the down tube practically eliminates the need for a tool kit bag under the saddle. A single lever opens it, and a port for a multi-tool (sold separately, along with the rest of the flat repair kit) sits just inside. This feature lowers the bike's center of gravity, improving handling on poor pavement and high-speed turns (or both). The Domane hasn't forgotten its roots, though. Built with Trek's proprietary 500 Series OCLV carbon fiber, the Domane SL's frame exhibits incredible strength as well as light weight, just like the best-selling previous generation. The front and rear IsoSpeed decouplers are still there, making short work of harsh tarmac and potholes. Even the Endurance fit and geometry that allows a wider range of riders -and rider flexibilities- to get comfortable remains in all sizes. An aperture in the left chainstay for a DuoTrap S speed/cadence sensor (sold separately) makes for a clean installation, while a 3S chain keeper prevents dropped chains and roadside stops (and greasy fingers). 12mm thru-axles not only make wheel installation a snap, but improve the frameset's torsional strength for better power transfer and high-speed handling. The Domane's new T47 bottom bracket is far less likely to creak after prolonged miles. No, they didn't rest on their laurels when they revisited the Domane SL 5. In the drivetrain department, Trek chose Shimano's recently revised 11-speed 105 components for the Domane SL 5. Changes and improvements to the venerable component group include: A Shadow-style rear derailleur with a wider gearing capacity up to 34T, improved aero profile, and a lighter touch at the shifter under pedaling loads A toggle-pivot front derailleur requiring less effort to operate at the shift lever A stiffer 50/34T compact crankset with a more aero profile Reshaped levers with an improved hood texture and adjustable lever reach for smaller hands Flat-mount hydraulic brake calipers boast lighter weight and improved torsional stength compared to post-mount units An 11-34T cassette that allows a 1-to-1 gear ratio for tackling exceptionally steep grades Rolling stock consists of Bontrager's tubeless-ready alloy Affinity Disc wheels, featuring a 21mm width for wide, road-holding rubber. 700x32c Bontrager R1 Hard-Case Lite tires bring an extra layer of smoothness to every mile. A Bontrager Arvada Comp saddle sits atop a carbon fiber micro-adjust seatmast cap that boasts a mount for a tail light. An accessory-ready alloy Bontrager Elite Blendr stem and alloy Bontrager Comp VR road handlebar complete this well-engineered masterpiece.

The VR5 is built for more than just an hour on the bike path. Centuries, "double metrics" and challenge rides are what this bike is built for.

Felt's VR geometry allows a wide range of riders -and rider flexibilities- to get comfortable for multi-hour rides with a tall head tube and a long wheelbase. By using their proprietary UHC Performance carbon fiber, Felt combined that geometry with an outstanding chassis, allowing the bike to soak up fatiguing vibration over rough pavement. A ControlTaper tapered head tube and BB386 bottom bracket improves overall frame rigidity, along with 12mm thru-axles for reduced wheel flex in turns. This all combines to make the VR5 very efficient when tackling steep ascents, especially out-of-the-saddle charges.

Felt selected Shimano's recently redesigned 105 components, making the VR5 a precise performer when shifting and braking. An 11-30T cassette and an FSA Gossamer Pro 50/34T alloy crankset brings a huge gearing range for roller-coaster hills. Tubeless-ready alloy Devox Road RLS1.9 wheels are wrapped with 700x28c Vittoria Rubino Pro tires, making for easy acceleration and a confident feel in fast turns and descents. Speaking of descents, the VR5 is equipped with Shimano's latest hydraulic disc brakes, making stopping much more controlled in all conditions, rain or shine. A Prologo Kappa Space saddle sits atop a UHC Performance carbon fiber seatpost, while an alloy Devox stem and Devox Ergonomic road handlebar completes this century-ready machine.

The Defy Advanced family for 2021 were designed from the outset as clean-sheet-of-paper bikes, not cobbled-together compromises. This guarantees the best performance for riders seeking to challenge themselves or roads rough and smooth.

The Defy Advanced 2 is built around an Advanced-grade carbon fiber frame, giving the bike a lightweight backbone to help deliver pedaling power effectively. The relaxed geometry of the Defy provides a long wheelbase for a stable feel on rough and choppy pavement. A taller head tube allows a wider range of riders -and rider flexibilities- to fit comfortably for extended hours in the saddle. Internal cable routing and flat-mount brake installation gives the bike a clean look. Even the seatpost binder bolt is submerged in the frame for a more aero profile. The unique D-Fuse Composite seatpost soaks up vibrations and low-frequency impacts better than any other carbon fiber seatpost, making every mile smoother. Delivering power to the bike is done through the PowerCore press-fit bottom bracket, ensuring that the rider isn’t wasting energy flexing a rubbery bike. Giant’s OverDrive 2 tapered carbon fiber fork cuts weight and improves the bike’s handling in fast turns and descents, as well as improving feel under hard braking. Considering even wider rubber than the stock 32mm tires? The Defy Advanced will accommodate tires up to 35mm wide!

The Giant Defy Advanced 2 is equipped with Shimano’s latest 11-speed 105 derailleurs and 11-34T cassette for smooth shifting and long service life. A Shimano 50/34T compact crankset boasts immense torsional rigidity for uphill, out-of-the-saddle efforts. Shimano 105 dual-control brake/shift levers have an adjustable reach for smaller hands and retain the lighter mechanical feel of Shimano’s recent 11-speed shifters. Although each lever has an internal hydraulic reservoir, it still keeps a familiar lower-profile shape that Shimano riders expect. The hydraulic calipers themselves are aluminum for light weight and rock-solid rigidity. 160mm front/140mm rear rotors disperse heat quickly, even under repeated deceleration. The Defy Advanced 2 needed disc-specific wheels for high performance riding, and the P-R2 wheelset is more than up to the challenge. The disc-specific lightweight alloy rims keep rotating mass down while 700x32c Gavia Fondo 1 tubeless tires offer confident grip and a smooth ride. Giant’s Contact SL alloy handlebars and stem are paired with an Approach saddle to complete the cockpit.

Today, light road bikes are more than that. They're smoother, better-fitting and take you further. The Avail Advanced 2 does all those things and more.

The Avail Advanced 2 checks several boxes for many riders. The wide size range allows riders with an inseam as short as 26" to get comfortable on an XXS size. The Advanced-grade Composite carbon fiber used to build the frame not only keeps overall weight low, but also soaks up fatiguing road vibration. Even the frame shape and Composite D-Fuse seatpost soaks up impacts from bad railway crossings and potholes better than conventional round frame tubes. A tapered OverDrive head tube adds an extra dose of handling precision up front for fast turns and descents. Even the press-fit PowerCore bottom bracket anchors the crankset better than threaded units, eliminating energy-robbing frame flex. The wheels feature thru-axle hubs for improved handling and disc brake performance.

Shimano's upgraded 11-speed 105 components are found throughout the drivetrain, including the adjustable-reach levers, front and rear derailleurs and 11-34T cassette. Smooth operation, precise shifting and long service life are all built into Shimano's excellent 105 components. A Shimano 50/34T compact crankset helps add a wide gearing range on long climbs. Light wheels can make all the difference in a bike's performance, and the Avail Advanced 2's feather-light alloy hoops take less effort to spin up. The wheelset is also tubeless-ready, allowing the use of Giant's Gavia Fondo 1 tubeless tires for lower rolling resistance. The Avail Advanced 2 employs Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes for outstanding braking performance in all conditions, rain or shine.

Liv's own Approach saddle for women sits atop the D-Fuse Composite seatpost, while an alloy Contact OverDrive stem and alloy Contact SL D-Fuse road handlebar complete this century-ready bike.

Some have lamented the loss of "real road bikes". The current crop of popular endurance and gravel bikes have been derided by some as clumsy barges that handle a corner as easily as pushing a cow up a fire escape. Is the nimble, aggressive-fit, lightning-quick speed machine truly gone? Not this bike...

The TCR Advanced 2 Disc Pro helps you take on a field sprint or a KOM with equal ease. It's a lightweight sprinter's delight featuring 11-speed Shimano components, a short wheelbase for nimble handling and a responsive feel with every pedal stroke. The frame itself is constructed of Giant's own Advanced-grade carbon fiber, ensuring light weight and impressive torsional strength. A PowerCore press-fit bottom bracket and tapered OverDrive head tube/steerer tube interface takes the TCR's stength up another level, ensuring flex-free power delivery during hard efforts. Yes, this is a bike built for speed! The TCR's frame shaping gives a nod towards aerodynamics, letting it slip through the air just a little easier than a classic round-tubed machine. Even the Variant Composite carbon fiber seatpost is teardrop-shaped, giving the bike better aero numbers higher up. The fork is also produced with Advanced-grade carbon fiber that is not only light, but also soaks up fatiguing vibration. Thru-axles front and rear add an extra dash of handling precision, while flat-mount brake installation helps make the bike even lighter. Internal cable routing tucks hoses and housing out of the airstream.

The TCR Advanced 2 Disc Pro's component list gives the owner plenty to smile about. Shimano's latest 11-speed 105 derailleurs handle gear changing duties with pro-level precision. The rear derailleur's Shadow-style design tucks most of the derailleur's body out of the wind, making the bike just a tad sleeker. A Shimano RS-510, 36/52T semi-compact crankset is not only incredibly strong but also more aero than the previous generation. A Shimano 105 11-30T cassette adds a huge gearing range to help deal with challenging courses and day-long training rides. Shimano's 105 dual-control hydraulic levers boast an adjustable reach, allowing a wider range of hand sizes to fit comfortably. Tubeless-ready alloy PR-2 Disc wheels bring an aero profile to the party, and are shod with 700x25c Gavia Course AC 1 tubeless tires. Yes, we can set this bike up tubeless before you take it home! Shimano supplies the hydraulic 105 disc brakes, providing outstanding stopping power in a wide range of conditions, rain or shine. A Giant Contact Forward saddle, alloy Contact stem and alloy Contact road handlebar complete this speed machine.
