I've been waiting for this day, 2015 Giant Defy...

[Cuchilo]

OK, but giant wheels tend to be made of cheese, which wheel upgrade is ready for this bike?

Ive yet to damage one and I do bunny hops and wheelies .

 

[simon.r]

Fugly.

IMO.

 

[BAtoo]

Overall I think it's a no......

 

[Rooster1]

A mixed response on the looks I would say, which is fair enough.

Interesting bike with nice clean lines. I'd love to take one out for a thrash. I wonder how those tiny discs would cope with some of our local hills though? At the bottom of The Nab in Whalley my front rim is always too hot to hold.

I don't like the look of road bikes with disc brakes.

What has the addition of disc rather than rim brakes done for the overall weight relative to the 2014 model?

Read the review in the link provided?

According to Giant the bike is slightly lighter than the 2014 models.

Thanks for posting this @rooster 1, makes very interesting reading.

Felt have sneaked a pic of the new F4 with Discs too.... some similar attributes to the Defy.

I'm not sure I do particularly @Basil.B but I suspect it's the way things are going.....

What is the idea behind the seat adjustment arrangement. It seems a bit stupid to me. It certainly restricts selling the bike on.

I just do not get the sloping frames anymore, I like to see two proper triangles nice and straight top tube and not yards of seat post!. This is coming from an ex Specialized Fanboy..
