Description
This Giant Defy Advanced E+ Elite AR is available with our legendary Podium Point free accessory scheme.
The Defy Advanced E+ Elite AR comes with a SRAM Rival XPLR wide ratio 1x drivetrain and allroad ready 35mm tyres for a smooth ride on rough roads, gravel or dirt.
With its smooth-riding composite frame, lightweight battery, and new Syncdrive Move Plus integrated rear hub motor, the Defy Advanced E+ is the ideal choice for performance-minded road riders who want to tackle steep hills, maintain higher speeds, and experience road riding with no limitations.
Seamless Power - At the core of the Defy Advanced E+ Elite is the all-new SyncDrive Move Plus motor, which delivers dynamic, natural feeling pedalling assistance up to 25 km/h. Integrated into the rear hub, it's a lightweight powertrain (1.7kg) that harnesses the energy you put into the pedals and amplifies it to help you climb steep hills, power across the flats, and extend your ride while feeling less fatigue.
The motor is engineered with Giant's "E-Road exclusive riding pattern" to match the pedalling pattern of road cyclists. When you start from a static position, it gradually increases power to give you a smooth feel with no unexpected power surges. When you stop pedalling and coast, it gradually reduces support to avoid a feeling of sudden power loss.
In addition to being lighter than typical mid-drive motors, the hub-drive design of SyncDrive Move Plus creates a natural road pedalling feel because it spins with the rear wheel. The motor's RPM is synced with the wheel's RPM.
As a result, when pedalling in "cruise phase," the motor output is tapered, so it feels natural rather than leading the rider's pedal stroke. And, equally important, there is no feeling of drag when freewheeling or coasting along.
The SyncDrive Move Plus motor is powered by EnergyPak 400, an ultra-slim battery that delivers 400Wh of power in a highly efficient and lightweight 2.3kg system. And by adding an EnergyPak 200 water bottle type range extender, riders can have 600Wh of power. Factoring in the energy savings of the tapered assist cruise phase, riders can easily reach 150km of range. You get all the power, but in a smaller package that's cleanly integrated within the downtube.
The housing of the EnergyPak Smart 400 is built with a sturdy aluminium casing and rated for safety and impact resistance according to the highest test standards in the industry.
System Integration - Every element of the Defy Advanced E+ Elite is integrated for optimal performance and ease of use. It starts with the RideControl Go button, which is integrated into the top tube for quick, easy access. The button can be used to turn the E-bike on or off, and also to change power modes. Colored LED lights show the support mode and battery level.
The SyncDrive Move Plus motor system includes Smart Assist technology, which features smart sensors that precisely measure the power being applied to the pedals. This allows the motor to provide just the right amount of assistance to create a natural, powerful riding experience while also optimizing energy efficiency for both the rider and the battery system.
The updated RideControl App allows you to choose exactly how you want the system to perform. You can use the app to adjust from the battery-saving Eco mode all the way up to Power mode and monitor all relevant ride metrics during your activity.
All models feature SRAM wireless electronic drivetrains as well as handlebar-mounted AXS wireless Blips, which are set up to switch assist modes without having to remove your hands from the bars. An integrated taillight, positioned near the top of the seat tube, is always on, providing added visibility on the road.
Pure Road Performance - At first glance, the Defy Advanced E+ Elite looks like any other high-performance road bike. It's closely related to the Defy range of endurance road bikes, sharing many of the same design cues, technologies, and performance factors including frame geometry and key components.
Every frame is handcrafted in Giant's own composite manufacturing facility to meet specific goals for critical factors like vertical compliance. In the rear of the bike, dropped seatstays absorb road shocks and vibrations as they travel up from the rear wheel toward the rider. Up front, an Advanced SL grade composite fork helps absorb shocks traveling up through the front wheel.
Beyond the frameset, every Defy Advanced E+ Elite features integrated components to further improve compliance. The first is the D-Fuse composite seatpost, which uses a D-shaped composite shaft that absorbs shocks and adds a small amount of flexing action (up to 12mm). This significantly reduces the energy of bumps and vibrations that travel through the saddle. This technology is also applied to the front of the bike with D-Fuse handlebars. The bars use similar D-shaped composite tubing on the tops to add more road-smoothing compliance. They also have a unique ergonomic shape with a short reach and an 8-degree flare in the drops for more stable handling on descents.
Please note: This model features tubeless ready wheels and tyres which offer a superior ride and less rolling resistance than traditional innertubes. This system requires tyre sealant to function correctly and this will be fitted in our workshop prior to despatch. The nature of this sealant means that the tyre may not be fully sealed until it has been ridden a short distance and therefore the bicycle may arrive with reduced pressure in the tyres. Please check the bicycle's tyres are inflated to the recommended pressure before cycling.
Please note: This model offers electric assistance up to speeds of 25kph (15.6mph).
IMPORTANT: This bicycle is supplied without pedals. Pedals for this bicycle can be selected for no cost using Podium Points™.

Sizing information is provided as a general guide only. This is based on the average rider riding the bicycle in the style for which it is intended. This takes no account of a rider's personal proportions, physique, flexibility and biomechanics. If your height places you on, or near, a bicycle size step then we recommend you consider both sizes. All bicycles offer a range of handlebar and saddle adjustment which will enable you to fine tune your riding position once the correct size has been established. If you are unsure on sizing, we strongly recommend you visit our store so we can assist you. Pedal On offers advice and information on sizing in good faith, the final decision and responsibility on which size to purchase is yours.
