The Giant Defy Advanced E+ Elite 1 25 Bike brought to you by Escapa is the ideal choice for road cyclists who want to tackle steep hills, maintain higher speeds and cover greater distances than ever before.
With its advanced carbon frame, integrated pedal assist and high-quality components, including wireless electronic shifting, the Giant Defy Advanced E+ Elite 1 25 is designed for road cyclists looking for superior performance and additional capabilities to go further and faster. The new SyncDrive Move Plus motor, which delivers up to 30 Nm of assistance (equivalent to 75 Nm with a mid-drive motor) in a lightweight, quiet system, is seamlessly integrated into the rear hub and offers five levels of assistance, plus Smart Assist technology to determine the optimal pedal assist for a smooth, natural riding experience.
KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS
NATURAL POWER
The SyncDrive Move Plus motor is integrated into the rear hub and delivers 30 Nm of power (equivalent to 75 Nm with a mid-drive motor) directly to the rear wheel. Weighing just 1.7 kg, it is specially tuned for the pedaling pattern of high-performance road riding, with minimal power loss and more torque at higher speeds. The result is a natural feel when accelerating or maintaining constant power at speed.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
The EnergyPak 400 battery system integrated into the downtube weighs only 2.3 kg and is designed specifically for the needs of e-bikes. A RideControl Go button mounted on the top tube allows you to turn the e-bike on or off and change power modes quickly and easily. Smart Assist technology uses three sensors to accurately measure the power being applied to the pedals and produce just the right amount of support.
PURE ROAD PERFORMANCE
A lightweight Advanced Carbon frame and high-performance components, such as the D-Fuse seatpost and handlebars, integrated WheelSystems with tubeless tires and a wireless electronic drivetrain, add up to deliver a smooth, efficient ride quality that mirrors the award-winning performance of the Defy endurance road bike range.
Technologies
Advanced T-700 carbon technology
High-performance grade T-700 raw carbon fiber is used to produce Giant's own in-house, custom carbon material with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these frames is assembled and molded as a single continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing technique called Modified Monocoque Construction.
Smart Assist
All SyncDrive motors feature Smart Assist technology, which adjusts assistance to suit the rider's needs. Using information from multiple sensors, both rider power input and terrain feedback are used to determine the optimal amount of pedal assist. SyncDrive is the only E-bike system that uses both rider power input and terrain feedback. It gives you a smooth, natural riding experience with plenty of power when you need it, while conserving power when you don't need it as much.
Energypak
Giant's latest EnergyPak battery systems feature optimized designs that are integrated with E-bikes for a sleek, modern profile. E-bikes offer several different EnergyPak options, including the EnergyPak Smart and EnergyPak. Each is designed to optimize the E-bike experience for each specific riding style.
D-Fuse Technology
The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebars were designed to work as a system, absorbing shocks and vibrations from the road so you can pedal farther and faster.
Hybrid Cycling Technology
Hybrid Cycling technology is a system that seamlessly combines electric power with human power to produce the most efficient, powerful and natural E-bike experience. The seamless extension of a rider's pedal power is what sets Giant E-Bikes above all other "electric" bikes. The system consists of four innovative technologies that work together in unison with the rider's own body power, a perfect extension of your own capabilities.
