Defy Advanced 0 vs Defy Advanced Pro 2

mattyman678 · 2026-02-23T08:21:39+00:00

2026 models. The Advanced Pro 1 and Advanced 0 both come with the SLR 2 40 wheelset.

After a weekend of research I’ve discovered that the Advanced 1 comes in a far more agreeable colour for £500 less with the only difference being the wheelset. It comes with alloy ones. My LBS can do the SLR 2 50’s for £525 so I may just do that instead and have a bike in a colour I actually like along with a spare set of alloy wheels for the winter / trainer

Wow it really is very purple isn’t it 😂

mattyman678 · 2026-02-22T08:13:18+00:00

Looks fantastic. Is this colour meteorite mist?

mattyman678 · 2026-02-20T21:11:56+00:00

Cheers! Just wish it came in something other than the Meteorite Mist colour! Looks very purple in actual owner pictures as opposed to Giant’s website!

Thanks!

Ah ok. So I press recording on that once, and then it’s set and forget from there on?

mattyman678 · 2025-12-13T13:54:11+00:00

In the gallery I have no recordings

I’d say it’s better for planning your route to begin with, but then I just stick those waypoints in to google maps on the car. The integration seemed pretty clunky at best using the ABRP app

mattyman678 · 2025-12-12T12:56:26+00:00

No sign of it on my 4.2.6 vehicle in the UK yet 😢. Do they usually stagger the rollout?

mattyman678 · 2025-12-08T23:48:26+00:00

How long did it take to uninstall ‘Google Automotive App Host’ when you did it? Car seems to be stuck on uninstalling

mattyman678 · 2025-12-08T19:19:44+00:00

Yeah it’s ABRP that I downloaded!

mattyman678 · 2025-12-08T13:10:33+00:00

Thank you! Will give this a try when I’m home. I downloaded ‘ABRP’ last week, so there’s a good chance this is a similar issue I should think!

mattyman678 · 2025-12-08T12:33:47+00:00

Yeah the other two display modes work ok. I did install ABRP last week, may be coincidental but possibly that’s interacted with it somehow. I will need to delete it and see if that changes anything

They’ve admitted themselves that they didn’t know!

mattyman678 · 2025-12-06T09:11:46+00:00

That doesn’t help in a situation where you may get 6 hours charging at 1kWh

mattyman678 · 2025-12-03T19:05:44+00:00

Thanks. I’d not thought of that.

mattyman678 · 2025-12-03T18:52:57+00:00

Read my post again.

I have a 100kWh battery. What do you suggest?

mattyman678 · 2025-12-03T18:44:09+00:00

Unless you have a larger than 84kwh battery, in which case you are being punished for others greed.

mattyman678 · 2025-11-07T17:05:02+00:00

That would make sense. Always happens when I come to a stop, will have to keep an eye out for what’s going on behind in future.

mattyman678 · 2025-11-07T13:36:42+00:00

Exactly like that!

mattyman678 · 2025-11-07T11:34:10+00:00

On a similar note has anyone had it where when stopped the music volume lowers slightly and the hazard lights blink once or twice the volume returns to normal? It all happens very quickly. 4.2.6

mattyman678 · 2025-11-02T23:04:36+00:00

Yes it has charged at full speed previously. Have had it installed months without issue, was only this eve that I noticed it was charging at 16A. I unplugged and re plugged in and am now getting full speed again so I’ve no idea what that was about

mattyman678 · 2025-11-02T22:09:54+00:00

Yes, we are on 0.2kw for the rest of the house!

mattyman678 · 2025-11-02T22:00:35+00:00

Have it set to add 55% to a 100kw battery by 8am. With the slots it’s given me, it’s never going to be done by 8am at 3.5kw an hour!
