Defy 3
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.
Specifications
Frame Technology
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.
