If your order has not yet been dispatched, we should be able to cancel it immediately and process your refund.

A refund will be issued once the products have been received and inspected by CJ Performance Cycles, usually within 14 days.

2026 Giant Defy Advanced E+ Elite 0 - Carbon electric road bike - Midnight Moon

Season:2026

Brand:Giant

Code:6400000

The Defy Advanced E+ Elite 0 redefines what it means to ride long distances on an e-road/endurace bike. Its lightweight composite frame, paired with a whisper-quiet SyncDrive Move Plus rear-hub motor delivering 30Nm of assist, lets you conquer climbs without losing the smooth, responsive feel of a high-end endurance road machine. The integrated EnergyPak 400Wh battery merges seamlessly into the frame, preserving ride aesthetics while ensuring ample range for hilly terrain and extended rides. High-spec components like the wireless SRAM Red/XPLR/Force AXS, tubeless-ready wheel system, and carbon cockpit parts elevate the ride: sharp shifting, responsive braking, and comfort even when the kilometers pile up.

Every detail is tuned for endurance: the Advanced SL composite fork with an OverDrive Aero steerer improves front-end stiffness and control, while the D-Fuse bar and seatpost system help damp vibrations and preserve energy over rough roads. On the Defy Elite 0, you get premium build quality, maximum assistance, and a ride that invites you to push further with confidence.

Professional Opinion

Advanced Composite
Giant’s High Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.
E+ System
E+ System combines electric power with human power to produce a smart, natural and powerful E-bike riding experience. It’s an integrated group of technologies that includes our RideControl control units, EnergyPak battery systems and SyncDrive motors.
Energypak
Giant’s latest EnergyPak battery systems feature streamlined designs that are integrated with the E-bike for a sleek and modern profile. Giant E-bikes offer several different EnergyPak options including the EnergyPak Smart and EnergyPak. Each one is designed to optimize the E-bike experience for a specific style of riding.
Smart Assist
All SyncDrive motors have Smart Assist technology, which adjusts the support to match the rider’s needs. By using information from multiple sensors, both rider input and terrain feedback are used to determine the optimal amount of pedaling assistance. SyncDrive is the only e-bike system that utilizes both rider input and terrain feedback. It gives you a smooth, natural riding experience with ample power when you need it, while also conserving power when you don’t need as much.
SyncDrive Move Plus
The new SyncDrive Move Plus motor delivers 30Nm of torque, which is comparable to 75Nm of torque in a mid-drive motor—all in a lightweight, quiet system that’s fully integrated into the rear hub. It features five support levels plus Smart Assist technology, which can automatically adjust pedaling support without having to change settings while riding. The motor uses sensors to constantly adjust output based on advanced algorithms.
RideControl App
The updated RideControl App expands the existing customization options for your SyncDrive motor. Now you choose exactly how you want the system to perform. You can use the app to adjust from the battery-saving Eco mode all the way up to Power mode, and collect all relevant ride metrics during your activity.
D-Fuse Technology
The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar were designed to function as a system, absorbing road shocks and vibrations so you can ride farther, faster.
