Giant Defy Advanced E+ Elite 1 Bike
The Giant Defy Advanced E+ Elite 1 makes every climb feel like a tailwind.
This carbon endurance e-road bike is for riders who want to go farther, faster, and still get a real workout. The Defy Advanced E+ Elite 1 adds smooth, natural pedal assist to a genuine road bike, so the foothill climbs north of the Valley turn from a wall into an invitation. Ride longer, recover easier, never dread the hills.
It's right for you if:
You want to keep up with faster friends on the climbs.
You're returning from injury or want assist on the way home.
You want a road bike that flattens the Valley's toughest hills.
You ride long and want extra range in your legs.
Why you'll love it:
The pedal assist kicks in smoothly, so it feels like you, just stronger.
The carbon frame keeps the bike light and lively even with the motor.
D-Fuse comfort tech takes the buzz out of long rides.
Hydraulic disc brakes bring the extra speed to a confident, controlled stop.
The tech you get: an Advanced-grade composite frame, a Giant SyncDrive pedal-assist motor (250W nominal) with an integrated EnergyPak battery, Class 3 assist up to 28 mph, and hydraulic disc brakes. Real-world range varies with terrain, rider weight, and assist level.

Highlights
SyncDrive Move Plus Hub Motor
A lightweight rear hub motor delivers 75Nm of effective assist while keeping the bike looking and handling like a real road bike. You get a natural boost on the climbs without the bulk of a full mid-drive.
EnergyPak 400Wh Integrated Battery
The 400Wh battery is built into the frame and rated up to 62 miles in ideal conditions. Enough range to turn a hard ride into an enjoyable one and still get home with power to spare.
SRAM Force AXS Wireless Shifting
Wireless 12-speed electronic shifting gives you crisp, effortless gear changes even under motor-assisted load. Premium performance that matches the drive system.
RideControl GO and SRAM Blips
A frame-integrated LED console pairs with handlebar-mounted Blips so you manage assist levels without moving your hands from the bars. Simple, clean control that keeps you focused on the ride.
Advanced-Grade Composite Frame
The e-bike is built on a genuine carbon endurance frame, not a heavy afterthought. Smooth ride quality and a lower overall weight for an electric road bike.
Hookless Carbon Wheels with CADEX Tubeless Tires
SLR 1 E+ hookless carbon wheels run 32c CADEX tubeless rubber for grip, comfort, and low rolling resistance. The ride feels planted and fast, assisted or not.
