First ride: new Giant Defy Advanced Pro 0

The Defy is Giant's best selling road bike built for endurance, so what better way to test it out than to haul ourselves up the Gavia Pass in the Italian Alps atop of it... twice?

Five cool things coming soon from Cervélo, F3 Cycling, Gore, Brooks and dhb

Another smattering of snazzy gear we're testing at the moment, with reviews coming soon...

All new Giant Defy launches, featuring D-Fuse handlebar and Giant’s new power meter included on the top model

The latest version of Giant’s hugely popular endurance road bike has wider tyre clearance, tubeless tyres off the peg and now has D-Fuse handlebars for extra compliance. The Defy Advanced Pro 0 also comes with Giant’s new Power Pro dual-sided power meter.
