Giant Defy Advanced Pro Disc 2022 2023 Road test review Build quality

The Giant Defy Advanced Pro Disc 2022 2023, has a valid general build quality, it is not cheap but the frame is well made, the availability of sizes is good, while it is a pity that it is not possible to choose the preferred color regardless of the assembly.

For some time there has been talk of a new 2023 version, but at the moment everything is silent, so the Giant TCR should remain unchanged even in the first months of 2023, with only the update of the groups, such as the 105 di2, while, a possible new Giant Defy 2023 it could only arrive in mid-2023 or towards the end of the season.

While not an absolute cheap bike, the value for money is good.

  

Giant Defy Advanced Pro Disc 2022 2023 Road Test Review Frame

The Giant Defy 2022 2023 frame remains a good product, well made, with a wide availability of sizes and good overall build quality.

The weight of the frame is not high.

The weight / price ratio remains favorable, even if we are at a value of 8.1 kg, which is certainly not a little, but the direct competitors do not do better.

Not really a bargain, but the value for money remains good.

Giant Defy Advanced Pro Disc 2022 2023 Road Test Assemblies Review

The range of assemblies is complete, as GIANT tradition.

The build and assembly quality, in each version, is good.

Except for the price of the top-of-the-range version, in other cases the prices are good and competitive.

A comparison between the entry level of the range and the top of the range is however merciless.

They are two different bicycles that are not even comparable, although performance does change but not the level of comfort.

 

Giant TCR Advanced Pro Disc 2022 2023 Road test Comfort review

While not adopting particular technical solutions, ride comfort is high and by no means far from the best racing bicycles on paper.

To be picky, strong and sharp blows are felt more than other endurance bikes, but overall the ride comfort is excellent and allows the Giant Defy to be considered one of the best bikes in the category.

Long distances are therefore feasible.

One of the most comfortable endurance racing bikes, an excellent result, also in relation to its list price.

Giant Defy Advanced Pro Disc 2022 2023 Road Test Review Guide

The Giant Defy Advanced Pro Disc 2022 2023 is nothing new, over the years its geometry has conquered many cyclists and it is not difficult to understand it.

A very safe, stable, easy to ride, intuitive Endurance racing bike.

After the first few meters it seems to have always driven it.

Excellent, stable and safe downhill, good braking.

Perfectly stable and precise on damaged asphalt sections.

Not very sensitive to crosswinds and very easy to drive on long straights exposed to the wind.

Equally pleasant to drive is on the curvy sections of the road.

One of the easiest and safest endurance racing bikes to ride.

Giant Defy Advanced Pro Disc 2022 2023 Road test review Performance

The Giant Defy 2022 2023 is undoubtedly a bike with excellent overall performance, competitive and at ease on any path.

It does not have a weak point, it goes well everywhere, with its limits, which refer to a weight certainly not contained in absolute terms.

It is also good uphill, but it is downhill where it is excellent in absolute terms.

Equally excellent are the performance on very damaged asphalt sections, you run fast, safe and with good ride comfort.

Ultimately it has only a few grams too many, otherwise it would be perfect.

In its price range and with a similar technical equipment it has no big rivals.

A very competitive endurance bike.
