With its comfortable composite frame, lightweight battery, new SyncDrive Move Plus motor and 38mm tires, the Defy Advanced E+ AR is the ideal choice for performance-minded road cyclists looking to tackle steeps steep slopes, maintain higher speeds and experience road driving without any limitations.
Smart Assistance
The SyncDrive Move Plus motor is integrated into the rear hub and delivers 30 Nm of power (equivalent to 75 Nm with a mid-drive motor). Weighing just 1.7kg, it is specially suited for road cycling, providing a natural feel.
System Integration
The EnergyPak 400 battery system integrated into the downtube weighs only 2.3 kg and is specially designed for the specific needs of e-bikes. The RideControl Go button mounted on the top tube makes starting the bike and changing assistance modes quick and easy. Smart Assist technology uses three sensors to precisely measure the power applied to the pedals and provide the appropriate assistance for a smooth, natural driving experience.
On-road performance
A lightweight composite frame and high-performance components, including a D-Fuse seatpost and handlebars, premium wheelsets, and wireless electronic drivetrain, all contribute to a smooth, efficient ride quality that reflects the performance of the Defy range.
