Aluminium engineering at its very best. It's light, it's lively and it's perfectly tuned for the way you ride.
Brought to you by the world’s foremost aluminium frame engineers, Defy breaks all the rules of what was previously thought possible for an entry level road bike. With its ALUXX SL frameset, Defy is lighter, stiffer and better riding than many composite bikes on the market.
