Giant Defy Advanced 0 Road Bike 2011

This is a bike that most of us should ride. If you want to simply ride to get fit, enjoy riding with your friends, or maybe get out on your own just for a break, but like quality, this bike would probably appeal to you.
It is similar to a race bike, but slightly altered to reduce the inclination towards racing, and change the emphasis slightly towards comfort and controllability on the road and in traffic. The frame allows a slightly more upright riding position than the equivalent TCR, has slightly different steering geometry and longer wheelbase.
The total package is considerably more comfortable, with very similar performance capabilities. You are likely to simply love riding this bike, and unless you are racing, the changes are likely to be all beneficial (even then it would make a very appealing training bike).
The gearing has been adjusted to suit a wider range of riding conditions, so when you come across that steep incline, it will be easily negotiated. The bike comes equipped with a full Dura Ace ensemble and Mavic Ksyrium Premium wheels. This bike is perfect for training whether it be around the city, or on country roads.
Why not treat yourself and come in for a test ride to find out for yourself just how much more enjoyable cycling can be.

Giant Defy Composite 1 2012

Price $2,499 Now just $2199

It's not every year that a brand new model bike becomes available. Not just a new year model, but a completely new, never ever been made before type new. The Giant Defy Composite 1 is new like this. A model never previously made.

Following the success of the TCR Composite bikes in 2011, Giant realised that the benefits those buyers enjoyed could be appreciated by an even greater number of riders if they introduced the same technology into the endurance category Defy range. The success, both in the number sold and their appreciation by the riders who bought the TCR's indicated that this all-new Composite level frame, which shares many of the features of the Advanced and Advanced SL models further up the range including hand lay up of the carbon fibre fabric, will be even more successful in the Defy geometry format. Every Defy Composite adds road smoothing comfort and racing performance to provide the perfect frame for many serious recreational and racing road cyclists. With rider comfort as a priority, the Defy frame geometry allows for a more upright position than is available on the purely competition bikes. With a longer wheelbase, more relaxed angles, shorter top tube and a longer head tube giving a more relaxed rider position resulting in less back and neck fatique, easier handling and a less harsh ride, benefits which are appreciated by the long distance Gran Fondo rider and the casual weekend rider alike. The Composite material further reduces rider fatigue thanks to its ability to absorb road vibration.
Each frame features:

• OverDrive headtube for additional steering stiffness and control
• PowerCore bottom bracket for outstanding pedaling stiffness
• Vector seatpost for minimal weight and maximum aerodynamics
• Light, T-600 composite frame material

Compact gearing has become standard issue on many bikes recently and the benefits of easier hill climbing is something everyone will appreciate aboard the Defy Composite 1. With chainring sizes of 50 and 34 and rear cogs from 11 to 28, the 20 available gears will allow most riders to handle almost every riding situation with aplomb. The amazing Shimano Ultegra components work flawlessly and given that they are the second highest level from Shimano can be expected to last many years. In fact all the components are of a very good standard with a Giant P-SL 1 wheelset, carbon seat post, comfortable performance saddle, clipless pedals and Giant Connect SL handlebars and head stem, ensuring years of enjoyable trouble free riding.

For a tad under $2500, you can get a pretty cool package which will out perform many more expensive bikes while still leaving you feeling pretty comfortable, even after a harder or longer ride. Sound good? Come and try one out.

Giant Defy Advanced 2 Road Bike 2011.

Price once was $2,599, but now only $1,999!

The Giant Defy Advanced 2 is more suited to long recreational or training rides than racing. The bike is altered to give preference to rider comfort, rather than outright performance, and for many of us coming home from a long ride still feeling good, is more valuable than beating your mate on that sprint, although both would be good. The frame sits the rider slightly more upright, reducing any strain on your back or neck, while still placing you in an aerodynamic riding position. While this may not appeal to everyone, if you notice any starin in these areas after a long ride, this bike will be of great benefit. The frame, saddle, handlebars, cranks, gear ratios and tyres are all biased slightly towards rider comfort, with the result that the bike is noticeably more comfortable. Maybe not a 20 year olds 1st choice, but at 30-70 it is at the very least extremely tempting.
The 2011 version of the ever reliable Shimano 105 graces the Defy Advanced 2. No corners have been cut, with a full ensemble being used, so the STI levers, front and rear deraileurs, brake calipers and crankset are all matching 105 components. Shimano SPDR pedals are also part of the component package along with Giant Connect SL handlebars and head stem. Michelin Pro Race tyres are fitted to the super reliable Mavic Aksium wheels which boast machined braking surfaces and sealed bearing hubs.The saddle from Fizik is extremely comfortable and suits most riders in this slightly more upright riding position.
The Defy Advanced 2, seems to tick all the boxes for most new bike buyers. Especially when it comes to value for money as amazingly it sells for under $3000. Not so many years ago just the frame would have sold for more , so for the someone wanting a light comfortable bike at a mid range price it's worth calling in to take a closer look at this or some of Giants other 2011 offerings. 
Many years of reliable service can be expected, and with Giant's lifetime frame warranty, Shimano's 2 year component warranty and Ivanhoe Cycles 12 month free service period, it is easy to see everyone concerned has plenty of confidence in the Defy Advanced 2, so come in for a free test ride today, and let us demonstrate just how good this bike is.

Giant TCR Composite 1 Road Bike 2011

Introduced for the first time into the 2011 range from Giant is this completely new Composite framed bike. In this price range over recent years, Giant have produced an Alliance model, a blend of Carbon Fibre and Aluminium, which has satisfied the needs of those wanting a light weight, comfortable road bike at a reasonably cheap price.
Amazingly, Giant through continuing research and development, are now able to further enhance these much sought after features with a fully Composite frame. This all-new Composite-level frame shares many of the features of the Advanced and Advanced SL models further up the range. With the carbon fabric laid-up by hand, every TCR Composite adds road-smoothing comfort and aggressive racing performance to provide the perfect frame for many serious recreational and racing road cyclists. 
The TCR Composite 1 will surprise many, considering the quality and features of the frame, combined with its outstanding level of componentry. Fitted with many of Shimano’s new Ultegra components, it is seriously good value for money.

Giant Defy Alliance 0 2010 Road Bike.

Price was $2,499, but now just $1,799!

Giant Defy Alliance 0 2010 Road Bike

The Defy Alliance 0 has a completely redesigned frame for 2010. It incorporates features that are "de rigueur" on the performance TCR range. These being the OverDrive steerer tube making the steering more responsive and precise and the PowerCore bottom bracket. This feature incorporates the outboard bearings in a press-fit design so the frame encases these. This equates into a stiffer pedalling platform which results in a more responsive, explosive performance.
The Alliance name calls attention to Giant's excellent ability to combine carbon and aluminium which gives you the benefits of the comfort which carbon offers as well as the residual stiffness of aluminium through the bottom half of the frame. The geometry of this frame gives one a more relaxed riding position which is derived from a longer wheelbase increasing the stability, a slacker steering angle which slows the steering down a touch and reduces the distance from the seat to the handlebars slightly increasing the riders height on the bike reducing stress across the shoulders, back and legs. This design of the Defy Alliance 0 makes it perfect for those riders getting back into riding, maybe not quite as supple as one once was or those wanting to churn out the k's without the fatigue that can be associated with more aggressive frame designs.
The bike is fitted with the ever reliable 105 group set from Shimano combined with the R600 series compact cranks giving you great range for the hills etc. The bike is assembled using Giant's own Connect SL range of components including a carbon seat post plus Fi'zi:k saddle and the excellent Mavic Aksium wheel set. The tyres are 25mm Vittorias which give some extra comfort too! This year Giant have gone that little bit further too with little touches such as colour-coded anodized derailluer hangers, saddle trims and top-cap on the head stem which finish this bike off quite nicely.
Giant warrant the Defy Alliance 0 for life. We give you 12 months free servicing too so you can be guaranteed of a great start to your new adventure!

The TCR Composite 2 road bike is a brand new model from Giant, gaining its name from the completely new Composite frame just released for the 2011 range. In recent years, Giant have relied on the Alliance models which were a blend of Carbon Fibre and Aluminium, to provide a light weight, comfortable road bike at a reasonably cheap price.
Amazingly, Giant through continuing research and development, are now able to further enhance these much sought after features with a fully Composite frame. This all-new Composite-level frame shares many of the features of the Advanced and Advanced SL models further up the range. With the carbon fabric laid-up by hand, every TCR Composite adds road-smoothing comfort and aggressive racing performance to provide the perfect frame for many serious recreational and racing road cyclists. 
The Giant TCR Composite 2 is equipped with the new Shimano 105 ensemble, which - like first Dura Ace, and subsequently Ultegra - has the stylish new shift levers with both brake and gear cables neatly concealed underneath the handlebar tape.  A clean finish that only serves to enhance this already good-looking bike.  With Shimano R540 clipless road pedals included, this is an exceptionally good value carbon road bike.
With the frames inbuilt comfort and performance features, and fitted with a compact crank-set and 11 to 28 cassette the TCR Composite 2 will be an ideal bike for those longer recreational/charity rides.

Giant Defy 1 Road Bike 2012

Price $1,499

What a great bike for under $1500! Currency fluctuations don't always work in our favour, but with a bike of this quality now costing less that what we would have paid for the frame and fork a few years ago, who's complaining? With the fantastic ALUXX SL frame, carbon forks, Shimano 105 20 speed gears, brakes and crankset, the Defy 1 is an ideal bike for someone getting into road riding or who is perhaps tired of putting up with the discomfort of their old road bike. Being a light-weight bike with the more upright riding position offered by the Defy geometry it is well suited to those who ride regularly, be it as a daily commuter, fitness rider or as a light tourer.

The Shimano Tiagra components are known for their ease of use and reliability and will last the average recreational rider for many years. While it may not be suitable for serious racing with the more upright rider position, it is more than capable of handling regular rides for those setting out on a fitness regime, or heading out to explore the open roads. Comparing a Defy to the TCR it is clear that the Defy is designed more for a rider who perhaps has no real desire to race, but is still interested in a fast, light bike to get fit, or simply for recreation. With rider comfort as a priority, the frame geometry allows for a more upright riding position than is available on purely competition bikes. This more relaxed position results in less back and neck fatique, easier handling and a less harsh ride, benefiting the regular long distance rider and the casual sunday rider alike. We will all have heard of the saying "Built for comfort, not for speed", well this doesn't exactly apply to the Defy range. They are certainly comfortable, but are also as swift as most bikes on the market. if you are intending to pin on a race number,then have a look at something from the TCR range from Giant.

Giant ALUXX SL alloy frames. Compare a modern alloy frame such as the 2010 Defy from Giant with any older frame and you will instantly notice the difference in tubing shapes. The old frame will have round frame tubes, while the latest frames from Giant are anything but, with ovalisation, tapering and gussetting all being incorporated in the shape of the tubing. Two other differences are less noticeable from a visible inspection, lighter weight and increased strength, however they are benefits derived primarily from the Fluid Forming which is the technique used to control the tubing shapes. With a raw material 30% stiffer than traditional 6061 aluminium, and fluid forming technology, the 2010 Defy frames are the strongest, lightest aluminium frames Giant have ever produced! One feature that won't be of use to everyone, but which will be a huge benefit to those who do need it, is the incorporation of pannier rack mounts on the seat stays and dropouts. So the Defy can be used as a useful commuter or semi tourer simply by bolting on a rack.

The new frame with a tapered fork steerer and large bottom-bracket shell allow for bigger tubes all around and a stiffer, more responsive ride for performance-minded cyclists. A carbon-composite fork with an aluminum steerer helps dampen road vibrations and fine-tune the bike's feel. But the shorter top tube and more relaxed geometry also deliver the kind of comfortable and upright ride not found on those race-oriented bikes. I know appearance relates to personal preference, but I think the Defy 3 looks outstanding, and is excellent value for money.
