The Giant Defy Advanced E+ Elite 0 is the pinnacle of high-performance endurance e-road bikes, designed to offer a ride quality that is nearly indistinguishable from a standard WorldTour machine. Handcrafted with an Advanced-grade composite frame and an Advanced SL-grade fork, this flagship model integrates the all-new SyncDrive Move Plus rear-hub motor, which delivers 30Nm of torque—providing a natural, linear boost that feels like "super legs" rather than a mechanical assist. The ultra-slim EnergyPak 400 battery is hidden seamlessly within the down tube, maintaining a stealthy profile while offering the range needed for epic alpine climbs and century rides.
This "Elite 0" specification leaves no room for compromise, featuring the premier SRAM RED AXS wireless drivetrain and Giant SLR 1 E+ Carbon wheels. The bike's comfort is driven by D-Fuse technology, with a carbon handlebar and seatpost engineered to flex and absorb road vibrations without sacrificing lateral stiffness. Control is handled via the integrated RideControl GO top-tube console, while the SRAM Bonus Buttons on the hoods allow you to toggle assist modes without moving your hands. Finished in the striking Mariana Blue, the Elite 0 is a lightweight, aerodynamic masterpiece that redefines the electric road category.
