Media Highlight

Bicycling, March 2009   “Giant’s new road machine takes comfort and performance to new levels of affordability, with, top to bottom, dependable Shimano 105 parts, high-tech hydroformed tubes, and a solid FSA crankset.”  

 

 

January/February 2009 Road Magazine... “The Defy 1 was very comfortable and encourages the rider to enjoy the ride.  Just because the frame geometry is designed for comfort doesn’t mean that it isn’t responsive." 

 

 

220 Triathlon, February 2009... "Smoothly efficient when crusing, but a sharp-reacting, enthusiastic and ego-stoking sprinter and summit-hunter when you need it to be, the Giant is a true class act"

 

 

 

220 Triathlon, February 2009... "..an undoubted front-runner across the whole price range."

Triathlon Plus, May 2009... "The fork let us brake later and attack corner harder than most bikes, with no trace of twitch or flutter."
