Benchmark-setting ride. Superb-value ride that's made to Defy the rough stuffAt a price where some brands aren’t able to offer worthwhile carbon framesets, Giant offers one with a raft of trickle-down technology from far higher up its extensive range.If you want pedigree, then consider that the 2015 edition of Paris-Roubaix was won by John Degenkolb aboard a Defy with rim brakes.Although shifting the brakes to the dropouts – as some riders did for this year’s event – changes the frame’s aesthetics, its ethos and the quailties that make it suited to truly testing terrain remain.What looks in profile to be a simple, unfussy frame design is actually a collection of subtle tube shapes and junctions that flow smoothly into each other, with the twin aims of creating speed and comfort over the toughest roads imaginable, for the hardest riders there are.
