The suspension built into the steerer tube provides 20mm of damping between the Hover handlebars, with their slight raise, and the frame. The Specialized Roubaix saw a major overhaul in 2017 with the addition of the 'Future Shock' front suspension, and 2019 saw another update, with adjustable suspension added to the top models. You can read more about the Ribble Endurance SL Disc here. There are a wide range of wheelset options, heading up to some very expensive raceworthy hoops and you can choose the groupset spec that suits your budget, including the new Shimano Ultegra Di2 12-speed.

While they are certainly dependable and robust, in pure performance terms they do hold back the bike a little from its full potential.įortunately, Ribble allows you to swap out components with its Bikebuilder app. The Mavic Aksium wheels our bike came with are not the lightest, nor the most aerodynamic. With discrete eyelets for mudguards and confidence-inspiring handling, long winter miles aren’t a problem for this bike. The quality of the frame does not disappoint, with the carbon doing a lot to absorb the road buzz. With aerodynamically optimized tube shapes and a 2x11 hydraulic disc brake groupset, this offering from Ribble represents extremely good value. Not the lightest in its class (although different build options can improve this)

We have a full explainer of all the bikes in the Giant Defy range or you can read our full review of the Giant Defy Advanced Pro 1 here. There's also an Advanced 0 which utilises SRAM's Rival eTap AXS electronic groupset. The Advanced 2 features Shimano 105 while the Advanced 1 boasts an Ultegra groupset. The Giant Defy Advanced range starts with a model equipped with a Shimano Tiagra groupset (not available in the US). The top-tier Advanced Pro 0 uses SRAM Red eTap AXS while the Advanced Pro 3 is equipped with Shimano 105. However for 2023 the 11-speed mechanical Ultegra groupset is now offered on the Defy Advanced Pro 2, which features Giant's SLR-2 carbon wheelset, while the Advanced Pro 1 is offered with both 12-speed Shimano Ultegra Di2 and SRAM Force eTap AXS. The reviewed model comes with a Shimano Ultegra drivetrain. The Overdrive 2 steerer promises excellent handling and front end stiffness thanks to oversized headset bearings. The brand has also lengthened the wheelbase slightly to add a comfortable level of stability. Now both the seatpost and handlebar will dampen the bumps on the road.
It has taken its D-Fuse seatpost concept and applied it to the handlebars. Giant tweaked its best selling bike in 2020. With a relaxed position and stable ride, those long miles will be eaten with ease aboard any of the Defy models.
