Giant DEFY ADVANCED E+ ELITE AR - Carbon Electric Road Bike - 2026 - midnight moon Ride further and faster with the Defy Advanced E+ Elite AR With its sleek carbon frame, lightweight rechargeable battery, new integrated SyncDrive Move Plus rear hub motor, and all-terrain 38 mm tires, the Defy Advanced E+ AR is the perfect choice for performance-oriented road cyclists who want to conquer steep climbs, maintain higher speeds, and enjoy road cycling without limitations. Key features of the Giant DEFY ADVANCED E+ ELITE AR - Carbon Electric Road Bike The SyncDrive Move Plus motor is built into the rear hub and delivers 30 Nm of power (equivalent to 75 Nm in a mid-drive motor) directly to the rear wheel. Having a weight of only 1.7 kg, the motor is specially tuned to the pedaling behavior of performance-oriented road cycling, with minimal energy loss and more torque at higher speeds. The result is a natural feeling when accelerating or smooth power delivery at high speeds, and no motor resistance when in freewheel or rolling mode. The EnergyPak 400 rechargeable battery integrated into the down tube weighs only 2.3 kg. The RideControl Go button on the top tube allows you to quickly and easily turn the electric bike on and off and change the power mode. Smart Assist technology uses three sensors to precisely measure the force applied to the pedals and deliver just the right amount of assistance for a smooth, natural riding experience. The electric road bike features wireless, electronic Sram Rival E1 AXS shifting and an integrated rear light. The lightweight carbon frame set and high-performance components, such as a D-Fuse seatpost and handlebars for greater flexibility, integrated wheel systems with 35 mm tubeless tires suitable for all-road use, and a wireless electronic drive system, combine to deliver a smooth, efficient ride that matches the award-winning performance of the Defy endurance road bike series. Technologies of DEFY ADVANCED E+ ELITE AR Advanced Composite Technology - GIANT's high-performance carbon fiber is used to create this special carbon frame material, which is woven and processed in-house and offers an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of the frame is molded as a single piece. The modified monocoque construction eliminates the outer braided composite layer. This reduces weight without compromising ride quality, stability, or stiffness. D-Fuse Technology - The seatpost and handlebars with D-Fuse technology are designed to work as a system to absorb shocks and vibrations from the road, allowing you to ride further and faster. E+ System - The E+ system combines electrical energy with human power to deliver an intelligent, natural, and powerful electric bike riding experience. It is an integrated group of technologies that includes Giant RideControl control units, EnergyPak battery systems, and SyncDrive motors. EnergyPak - GIANT's latest EnergyPak battery systems feature a streamlined design that integrates with the electric bike for a sleek and modern profile. RideControl App - The updated RideControl app expands the existing customization options for your SyncDrive motor. Now you can specify exactly how you want the system to work. With the app, you can choose between battery-saving Eco mode and Power mode and record all relevant riding data during your activity. Smart Assist - All GIANT SyncDrive motors feature Smart Assist technology, which adapts the assistance to the rider's needs. Using information from multiple (6) sensors, both the rider's force and terrain data (e.g., incline) are used to determine the optimal amount of pedal assistance.
