Mat Brett

Smooth-riding endurance bike that offers hydraulic disc brakes and plenty of value

Cycling Weekly

Barring the cable routing issues, there's no doubting that the Defy Advanced 1 has one of the best ride qualities in the endurance category. It almost perfectly balances performance and comfort and the spec list at this price point is almost unbeatable.

Pros
  1. Value
  2. Comfort
  3. Versatility
Cons
  1. Cable routing
  2. Saddle

Cyclist

Peter Stuart

VERDICT: Giant’s latest Defy is future-proof, versatile, fast and far less expensive than equivalently specced alternatives

BikeRadar

Warren Rossiter

A brilliant bike let down by its slightly disappointing brake system

Pros
  1. Smooth ride, great position and good value with it
Cons
  1. The cable-hydraulic brake system lacks feel and adds weight up front
