New Giant Defy 2021 model
Just found this on the Giant Korea website
https://www.giant-bicycles.com/kr/defy-advanced-pro-1-di2-2021
Giant are removing the integrated routing around the stem. Looks very TCR now. Going deeper with the new 42mm SLR-1 wheels. Classier colours too.

No it can't. With lower gears to achieve the same speed you should change more gears and make more pedal strokes. It's just not comfortable. On...

I like the pro1 shown on Korean link in metalic blue.

That's a shame.
Really liked the clean integrated look.
Sorry, can you explaine what is a shame?
What does it mean when they say "Giant are removing the integrated routing around the stem."
The cables on the old Advance Pro are hidden inside the stem
The cables on the 2021 Defy are not hidden inside the stem? It looks like they are hidden inside at least on the Korean Giant Web Site.
They aren't hidden in the stem Tumba - they loop into the frame and the fork.
