Giant Defy Advanced E+ Elite AR Bike
The Giant Defy Advanced E+ Elite AR erases the line between road and gravel.
This all-road e-bike is built for riders who don't want to stop where the pavement ends. The Defy Advanced E+ Elite AR runs wider tires and smooth pedal assist, so you can link Valley streets to Santa Monica Mountains fire roads in a single ride without switching bikes. One bike, every surface.
It's right for you if:
You ride a mix of pavement, bike path, and light gravel.
You want assist to explore farther across mixed terrain.
You want the comfort of bigger tires and endurance geometry.
You want one do-it-all bike for adventure and commuting.
Why you'll love it:
Wider tire clearance grips loose surfaces, so gravel stops feeling sketchy.
Smooth pedal assist stretches your range across bigger loops.
The carbon frame keeps it light and nimble on the road, too.
Hydraulic disc brakes deliver sure stopping on dirt and pavement alike.
The tech you get: an Advanced-grade composite frame with clearance for wider all-road tires, 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, tire choice, and assist level.
