Create an accountSEAMLESS POWER
The SyncDrive Move Plus motor is integrated into the rear hub and delivers 30Nm of power (equivalent to 75Nm with a mid-drive motor) directly to the rear wheel. Weighing just 1.7kg, it’s specially tuned for the pedaling pattern of performance road riding, with minimal energy loss and more torque at higher speeds. The result is a natural feel when accelerating or maintaining steady power at speed, and no motor drag while freewheeling or coasting.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
The down tube integrated EnergyPak 400 battery system weighs just 2.3kg and is purpose-built for the specific needs of E-bikes. A top tube mounted RideControl Go button makes it quick and easy to turn the E-bike on or off and change power modes. Smart Assist technology uses three sensors to precisely measure the power being applied to the pedals and produce just the right amount of support for a smooth, natural ride experience. All models feature SRAM wireless electronic shifters and an integrated taillight.
PURE ROAD PERFORMANCE
A lightweight composite frameset and high-performance components including a D-Fuse seatpost and handlebars for compliance, integrated WheelSystems with all-road ready 35mm tubeless tires, and a wireless electronic drivetrain all add up to a smooth, efficient ride quality that mirrors the award-winning performance of the Defy endurance road bike range.
Highlights
With its composite frameset, integrated pedal assistance, and high-quality components including wireless electronic shifting, the Defy Advanced E+ Elite AR is designed for performance-minded road riders seeking added capabilities to ride farther and faster. This model comes with 38mm wide Giant CrossCut AT tires for added versatility on rough roads and gravel. The new SyncDrive Move Plus motor, which delivers up to 30Nm of support (equivalent to 75Nm with a mid-drive motor) in a lightweight, quiet system, is cleanly integrated into the rear hub and features five support levels and Smart Assist technology to determine optimal pedaling support for a smooth, natural riding experience. The system is powered by the EnergyPak 400 battery, which provides powerful support in an integrated, lightweight package.

SMART ASSIST
Three smart sensors precisely measure the power being applied to the pedals so the motor can provide just the right amount of assistance to create a natural, powerful riding experience.
ENERGYPAK 400
Ultra-slim battery uses breakthrough technologies to deliver 400Wh of power in a highly efficient and lightweight 2.3kg system. You get all the power, but in a smaller package that’s cleanly integrated with the composite frameset.
RIDECONTROL GO
This integrated multi-function button is positioned conveniently on the top tube so you can easily turn the power on or off and change the motor settings.
ADVANCED COMPOSITE
High-performance grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.
FULL COMPOSITE FORK
Steerer tube and fork legs constructed entirely from Giant’s premium Advanced SL-grade composite for light weight and precision handling.
D-FUSE SLR/SL SEATPOST
Proprietary seatpost features a D-shaped composite shaft to better absorb road vibrations without the need for mechanical devices or special inserts. Optimized carbon layup helps increase overall compliance.
D-FUSE HANDLEBAR
Lightweight composite or alloy handlebar (depending on the model) with D-shaped tubing combines road-smoothing comfort that’s up to 40% more compliant than traditional round handlebar with greater pulling (upward) stiffness for better efficiency while sprinting and climbing.
WIRELESS ELECTRONIC SHIFTING
SRAM AXS front and rear derailleurs and wireless electronic shifters including SRAM Blips for additional shifter locations on the handlebars.
CONTACT SLR/SL AEROLIGHT STEM
Lightweight composite or alloy integrated stem (depending on the model) with semi-internal cable routing improves aero performance and aesthetics with wind tunnel-inspired design.
INTEGRATED REAR LIGHT
Built-in taillight positioned near the top of the seat tube is always on, providing added visibility on the road.

Weight: The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
