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 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.

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; tire 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.

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.

WeightThe 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.
