2026 Giant Defy Advanced E+ Elite 1

$5,400.00

With its smooth-riding composite frame, lightweight battery, and new SyncDrive Move Plus integrated rear hub motor, the Defy Advanced E+ is the ideal choice for performance-minded road riders who want to tackle steep hills, maintain higher speeds, and experience road riding with no limitations.

Key Performance Features

Seamless Power Delivery

The SyncDrive Move Plus motor is seamlessly integrated into the rear hub, delivering 30Nm of torque—comparable to 75Nm from a traditional mid-drive motor—directly to the rear wheel. Weighing only 1.7kg, this lightweight motor is optimized for performance road cycling, providing smooth assistance with minimal energy loss.

The system is tuned to match natural pedaling rhythms, delivering stronger support at higher speeds while maintaining a natural riding feel. Riders benefit from smooth acceleration, consistent power when maintaining speed, and zero motor drag when coasting or freewheeling.

Integrated E-Bike System

The bike features a down tube–integrated EnergyPak 400 battery, weighing just 2.3kg and designed specifically for lightweight e-road performance.

A convenient RideControl Go button positioned on the top tube allows riders to easily power the bike on or off and switch between assistance modes. Smart Assist technology uses three sensors to monitor pedaling power and automatically deliver the optimal level of support for a smooth and natural riding experience.

All models come equipped with SRAM wireless electronic shifting and an integrated rear taillight, enhancing both performance and safety.

Pure Road Performance

A lightweight composite frameset paired with high-performance components ensures an efficient and comfortable ride. The bike includes D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar technology, which helps absorb road vibrations for improved comfort on longer rides.

Integrated WheelSystems with tubeless tires improve rolling efficiency and reduce the risk of punctures, while the wireless electronic drivetrain provides smooth, precise shifting. Together, these features deliver a refined road riding experience inspired by the award-winning Defy endurance road bike platform, combining speed, efficiency, and comfort.

Weight

The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
