MKP Recommends

Getting SLR 1 carbon wheels and 105 Di2 with an Ultegra crank at $4,200 is strong value, since the wheels and electronic shifting together add well over the cost of a base build, and the paint protection film keeps the frame looking new. Worth knowing the Defy is one of the most comfortable endurance platforms Giant makes, with the D-Fuse seatpost noticeably smoothing rough roads and clearance for 38mm tyres, so it suits a rider who wants a fast carbon bike that stays comfortable over the biggest days and can handle rougher surfaces too.
