Cracking bike for the price, I bought last years model and it is faultless
Giant's leading aluminium engineers have crafted the Giant Defy 3 2015 to blend comfort and performance.
With an endurance focused geometry the Giant Defy 3 places you in a comfortable, up-right riding position that remains comfortable for hours while the seat stays and Advanced-Grade Composite Fork reduce vibrations to help prevent fatigue.
Defy 3 isn't all comfort and no power, with an OverDrive headtube and steerer for sharp handling and a massive PowerCore oversized bottom bracket area the Defy is stiff, efficient and a real blast to ride.
Equipped to this brilliant frame is a selection of quality components including an 18 Speed Shimano Sora groupset with a wide, usable range of gears that helps you push to your limits both up and down. Giant's own S-R2 wheels provide solid performance and feature DT Swiss internals for rapid engagement.
ALUXX-Grade Aluminum Frame
Advanced-Grade Composite fork with Hybrid OverDrive Steerer
Shimano Sora 18 speed drive train
Tektro TK-R312 Giant Specific, Dual Pivot brakes
Giant S-R2 wheel set
The Defy 3 is a versatile all purpose road bike suited to long days in the saddle, fast pace training blasts, or fitting mudguards and panniers for the morning work commute.

Decent winter bike/initial road bike at an excellent price. Unfortunately the wannabe Wiggins and Froomes will be aghast that there's no carbon in sight! Stop worrying about the ounces saved on a carbon drinks holder and lose a few pounds off the waistline!!

Good quality aluminium is far better than cheap poor quality carbon, which would have lesser components on it

Agree that Giant aluminium is superior to cheapo carbon. Excellent price, either a winter' bike or a genuine all-year comfortable rider for the newbie. Just excellent.

Great bike for the cash. Even better bargain than the Forme Carbon at £544
