Ultralight Carbon Marvel
This two-wheeled wonder is not your average ride. With a superlight frame weighing just 785g, it's the most efficient Defy ever built. The composite frame is designed for silky-smooth, long-haul performance, so you can tackle those grueling rides with ease. Plus, we've dialed up the comfort with the new and lighter D-Fuse SLR seatpost, now offering 40% more compliance. And let's not forget the Contact SLR D-Fuse handlebar, built for shock absorption and control, with its sleek D-shaped tubing and an 8-degree flare for supreme ergonomics.

Weight |
Weight The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local Bicycle Warehouse weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality. |
