Price record and sources
These sources support this model page; individual claims retain the confidence of their cited source.
Exact-trim post establishes Defy Advanced SL 1 identity and image. It is not evidence for the existing Defy Advanced 2 candidate.
Exact-trim title and body. Community ride note dated 2025-09-18 claims a 7.4 kg complete weight (not measured). Body says Defy Advanced SL feels stiff at the BB and head tube; mentions Giant D-Fuse contact-point comfort as brand copy. Comparison BOM (2022 TCR Advanced 2 with SRAM Rival AXS and Hunt aero wheels) is the other bike, not the SL 1. No CNY price, purchase route, size, groupset, wheels, geometry, or model year.
Post is Defy adv SL family; trim number is not stated. Body describes an older top-tier Defy with a TCR-style integrated seatpost. Community report: a commenter said current SL is not integrated; the author agreed. Another comment said this generation of Defy SL has an integrated seatpost but is not light enough and loses portability. Do not copy integrated-seatpost facts onto current Defy Advanced SL 1. No price, weight, geometry, or groupset.
Exact-trim listing for Giant Defy Advanced SL 1, size M, marked SOLD. Asking text is '2xxx, original 6k'. Community comments treat this as Canadian dollars, not mainland CNY (one comment: assumed RMB then saw Canada). Listing BOM is not factory-proof and includes an integrated seatpost. Do not use as a China price or as current-generation seatpost evidence. Bare explore URL may require a search token to load.
Exact family Defy ADV SL; suffix 1 is not stated. Custom BOM in post text (frameset, third-party bar, 7170 group, VOSO lite 50 wheels, Continental GP clinchers) is not a factory SL 1 build. Claimed weight 7.4 kg without pedals. Community reports: a commenter said DEFY ADV SL only supports electronic shifting and the author agreed; author said a complete bike uses a two-piece bar while this was a frameset build; frameset price was answered as '1.4' (unit not written). Do not treat as factory SL 1 BOM, mainland list price, or measured stock weight.
Official mainland dealer locator establishes a brand purchase route, not exact-model dealer stock or price.
Official mainland brand warranty policy. Exact coverage depends on model, original purchase route, proof and exclusions.
The current 2026 manufacturer reference confirms the exact global trim and explicitly declines a universal complete-bike weight because production tolerances, color, frame size and components vary. It does not establish a mainland CNY price or map the community bike to this generation.
