The Giant Defy Advanced E+ Elite 1 25 bikepresented byEscapais the ideal choice for road cyclists who want to tackle steep climbs, maintain higher speeds, and cover longer distances than ever before.
With its Advanced carbon frame, integrated pedal assist, and high-quality components—including wireless electronic shifting—the Giant Defy Advanced E+ Elite 1 25is designed for road cyclists seeking superior performance and enhanced capabilities to go farther and faster. The new SyncDrive Move Plus motor, which delivers up to 30 Nm of assistance (equivalent to 75 Nm with a mid-drive motor) in a lightweight and quiet system, is seamlessly integrated into the rear hub and offers five levels of assistance, plus Smart Assist technology to determine the optimal pedal assistance for a smooth and natural riding experience.
KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS
NATURAL POWER
The SyncDrive Move Plus motor is integrated into the rear hub and delivers 30 Nm of power (equivalent to 75 Nm with a mid-drive motor) directly to the rear wheel. Weighing just 1.7 kg, it is specifically tuned to the pedaling pattern of high-performance road riding, with minimal energy loss and more torque at higher speeds. The result is a natural feel when accelerating or maintaining a constant power output at speed.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
The EnergyPak 400 battery system, integrated into the down tube, weighs just 2.3 kg and is specifically designed for the needs of e-bikes. A RideControl Go button mounted on the top tube allows you to turn the e-bike on or off and switch power modes quickly and easily. Smart Assist technology uses three sensors to precisely measure the power applied to the pedals and deliver just the right amount of assistance.
PURE ROAD PERFORMANCE
A lightweight Advanced Carbon frame and high-performance components—such as the D-Fuse seatpost and handlebars, integrated WheelSystems with Tubeless tires, and a wireless electronic drivetrain—combine to deliver a smooth and efficient ride that reflects the award-winning performance of the Defy endurance road bike lineup.
Technologies
Advanced T-700 Carbon Technology
High-performance T-700 raw carbon fiber is used at Giant’s in-house factory to produce a custom carbon material with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these frames is assembled and molded as a single continuous piece using a patented manufacturing technique called Modified Monocoque Construction.
Smart Assist
All SyncDrive motors feature Smart Assist technology, which adjusts the assistance to suit the rider’s needs. Using data from multiple sensors, both the rider’s power output and Terreno feedback are utilized to determine the optimal amount of pedal assist. SyncDrive is the only e-bike system that uses both the rider’s power output and Terreno feedback. It provides a smooth and natural riding experience with plenty of power when you need it, while conserving power when you don’t need as much.
EnergyPak
Giant’s latest EnergyPak battery systems feature optimized designs that are integrated into the e-bikes to achieve a sleek, modern profile. The e-bikes offer several different EnergyPak options, including the EnergyPak Smart and the EnergyPak. Each is designed to optimize the e-bike experience for a specific riding style.
D-Fuse Technology
The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebars were designed to work as a system, absorbing road shocks and vibrations so you can ride farther and faster.
Hybrid Cycling Technology
Hybrid Cycling Technology is a system that seamlessly combines electric power with human power to deliver the most efficient, powerful, and natural experience on an e-bike. The perfect extension of the rider’s pedaling power is what sets Giant E-Bikes apart from other “electric” bikes. The system consists of four innovative technologies that work together in unison with the rider’s own physical power—a perfect extension of your own abilities.
