Advanced Composite Technology

Giant’s High Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.

CUSTOMISE

With the RideControl App, it is now possible to tune your motor settings and choose a support ratio most suitable for your riding style and terrain. You can choose between stronger, more aggressive performance, or tune it for a more comfortable ride. It's up to you. The motor comes with default settings and is adjustable with the App.

NAVIGATE

Use the RideControl app for turn-by-turn navigation specifically designed for the bike. If your e-bike is equipped with a compatible RideControl EVO display you can synchronise turn-by-turn navigation to your display, so there is no need to keep you phone at hand.

RANGE

How far can I expect to ride on a single battery charge?

The range for a single battery charge can vary greatly depending on conditions such as the combined weight of the rider and cargo; wind resistance; tyre pressure and tread profile; terrain and elevation changes; road or trail surface; outdoor temperature; maintenance of the E-Bike; and the condition of the battery.

The bar below gives an approximate range. Conditions are categorized as extreme, good and ideal. Extreme conditions typically occur when riding with a heavy load, strong headwinds or excessive climbs.

Range

Extreme: 40 km

Good: 70 km

Ideal: 100 km

KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS

SEAMLESS 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 pedalling 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 tubeless tyres, 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.

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.
