DEFY ADVANCED 1 selected as a 2009 Bicycling Magazine Editors' Choice winner.
Triathlete Magaine Canada on the Defy Advanced, “…an excellent second bike for a triathlete or anyone wanting a performance road bike for racing and long days in the saddle….The Defy Advanced is stiffer and more responsive than last year’s pro team bike, but thanks to it’s slightly shorter top tube, also extremely comfortable on long rides.”
