With a smooth-riding composite frame, a lightweight integrated battery and the new SyncDrive Move Plus rear hub motor, the Defy Advanced E+ AR is built for performance-minded road riders. All-road ready tyres and an efficient, wireless drivetrain let you tackle steep climbs and hold higher speeds with minimal compromise to the pure road ride experience.
