ROADCYCLINGUK RATE GIANT’S ‘SPLIT PERSONALITY’ DEFY ADVANCED 4

Giant’s 2009 range of road bicycles has already scooped Cycling Plus Bike of The Year Award with the Giant TCR Advanced. Now road cycling website RoadCylingUK.com have just tested Giant’s 2009 Defy Advanced 4 road bicycle, and they were clearly impressed!

Tester David Arthur was amazed that a bike could be so comfortable and yet so fast, awarding the bike 9/10 for performance, 9/10 for value and 9/10 overall;

"Giant have clearly got the balance just right"

"It possesses a sporty character that manages to be both comfortable and fast, depending on how the mood takes you."

"It has a bit of a split personality, the Defy. On one hand it's happy pottering around country lanes taking in the view, but on the other it's quite happy to have its neck wrung - hard. It's also an easy bike to ride, with a nice neutral feeling and steering that strikes a balance between fast and steady. It felt planted at all times, and was a lot of fun on descents, as it was too on the climbs."

With another fantastic review under it's belt the Defy Advanced platform proves a hit. To read the full review visit RoadCyclingUK.com
