Never Mind The Roadies…<\/h2>\n

\"giant-defy-welsh-valleys.jpg\"<\/p>\n

“I recently had the opportunity to try out the new 2019 Giant Defy Advanced Pro 1 <\/strong> for a few days.\u00a0 Forget the reviews done by fit, professional athletes, how did a 95kg, occasional roadie find this Giant road bike <\/a> on the steep hills and valleys of mid-Wales?<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Day One: Finding Comfort in the Rain<\/h2>\n
\u00a0 Giant Bikes and Giant Speed Bikes <\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

Day 1 was the comfort and climbing test, lapping the scenic Lake Clywedog.\u00a0 Wales decided to throw all the hale, rain, ice and wind at me that it could. Right away the riding position with the frame geometry felt right <\/strong> , super comfortable and smooth to ride.\u00a0 For someone who doesn\u2019t ride road bikes that often anymore, I was surprised that after three hours of steep climbs and strong winds I was still feeling all right, physically. The frame was certainly comfortable, but still lightweight and responsive <\/strong> .\u00a0 I even set myself a new PB with 80.1km\/hr maximum speed!<\/p>\n

See the current Giant road bikes 2022<\/p>\n

\"dave-clacher-giant-defy.jpg\" The Giant\u2019s D-Fuse seat-post and handlebar are designed to absorb shocks and vibrations and certainly I found no issues with them.\u00a0 Hitting numerous cattle grids at speed was definitely muffled in comparison to what I\u2019m used to. And the shape of the seat-post stopped any slippage (which us big guys and can sometimes have issues with). The hydraulic disc brakes were a godsend and offered great control, <\/strong> especially on severely steep roads covered in ice with an unfenced 5m drop into the lake at the bottom!\u00a0\u00a0Realistically I would have probably given up and walked down this one particular descent if I had been on my normal rim-braked bike, or would have risked ending up with a frozen swim.<\/p>\n

For more versatility and off road riding, check out gravel bikes by Giant <\/a> . <\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

Day Two: Endurance<\/h2>\n

The weather barely improved for Day Two, which called for a 70km endurance test in the Elan Valley.\u00a0 It was a lot less mountainous here so I tried a few sprints and was again surprised how stiff the front end felt with my weight out of the saddle giving it full welly.\u00a0 Very little flex in the forks and wheels helped by the thru-axles, meant I could efficiently put the power to the ground when I needed too.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Giant\u2019s SLR-1 wheel-set had the strength (and then some!) for an endurance bike <\/strong> . What was a cycle-path suddenly turned to rocky, muddy track for 15min, but the bike took it like a champ.\u00a0 There are no issues at all with strength and comfort <\/strong> , even if you find yourself accidentally cycle-crossing!\u00a0 This was also my first extended ride running tubeless <\/strong> and I\u2019m glad to say it was a happy experience.\u00a0 The lower than normal tyre pressures I was a little hesitant about at first, but the smooth ride that resulted without sacrificing any speed changed my thinking.\u00a0 I did find two visible signs of punctures after I had got home so the sealant had done its job without <\/strong>\"giant-defy-wales.jpg\" me noticing any problems <\/strong> .<\/p>\n

The verdict<\/h2>\n

So was my verdict?\u00a0 The Giant Defy Advanced Pro 1 is a bike you can have a lot of fun on <\/strong> and is a great option for someone new to road biking, looking for a step-up to carbon or just wanting to upgrade his or her existing race bike to something more forgiving.\u00a0 It has just the right combination of comfort and speed so that you can sit on it for hours on end.\u00a0 I just want one! <\/strong> ”<\/p>\n
