This bike is like the ninja of the road, slicing through rough terrain with stealthy precision while keeping you as quiet as a library mouse.
Crafted with a composite frame that's practically lighter than a feather (well, almost), it ditches the unnecessary bells and whistles, focusing on what truly matters. It's like the Marie Kondo of road bikes, decluttering your ride experience.
Less is indeed more for modern endurance road warriors. But don't let its simplicity fool you. The advanced-grade composite frame and fork have been engineered with endurance in mind. Say goodbye to road-induced fatigue as they team up to deliver a silky-smooth and efficient ride. The new D-Fuse components are like your road's shock absorbers, making sure those vibrations are just a distant memory.
And when it comes to control, the Contact D-Fuse handlebar is like the Swiss Army knife of bike handles. It's ergonomically shaped to cradle your hands with comfort, and with an 8-degree flare, you'll have all the control you need for your all-day adventures.
With wide alloy rims optimized for high-volume tubeless tires, you'll feel like you're riding on a cloud. Whether it's asphalt or cobblestone, this bike handles it all with grace and stability. It's the road bike you never knew you needed, until now. Get ready to redefine your endurance game with the Defy Advanced 2 Road Bike!

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. |
