'12 Giant

With a ride that absorbs cobbled centuries and the feathery weight to dominates mountain stages, Giant's Defy Advanced SL 0 does it all! The Defy Advanced SL boasts a tuned carbon layup, tall head tube and relaxed geometry that offer new levels of comfort and control as you sail to new heights. Leading the way to those milestones, Giant's full carbon OverDrive tapered fork nullifies road buzz and guides you with authority. The wheelset does, too, with Giant's scandium P-SLR1 hoops and tires loving the corners and cutting your rolling resistance to near zero. Plus, Shimano's legendary Dura-Ace drivetrain provides pro-level response for good measure. And of course, the Giant carbon finishing kit perfectly matches a bike of this caliber.
