You roll the Giant Defy Advanced 2 out of the shop and the Atlantic wind immediately tugs at your jersey. South Tenerife unfolds — empty coastal roads that sweep into long ascents, volcanic slopes that lift you toward Teide’s high crown. The bike’s carbon frame hums beneath your hands; the Shimano 105 groupset shifts crisply as you settle into an endurance pace built for long days and steep grades.

History
Tenerife’s roads trace routes once used for inter-village trade and agricultural access; modern cycling routes often follow historic paths that connected highland farms to the ports.
Conservation
Stick to paved roads and marked pullouts to avoid trampling fragile volcanic soils and alpine vegetation; support local rental shops that maintain and service bikes to extend equipment life.
Reserve your spot on the Giant Defy Advanced 2 today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring your own helmet
Rentals often include pump and tube but not helmets — bring a properly fitting, certified helmet for safety on fast descents.
Hydrate and carry electrolytes
Long climbs and sun on exposed volcanic slopes deplete fluids quickly — carry two bottles or a hydration pack on multi‑hour rides.
Check tire pressure and spares
Coarse volcanic grit is common on shoulder lanes — run slightly lower pressure for grip and use the included spare tube if needed.
Start early to avoid wind and heat
Mornings offer calmer winds and cooler temperatures; afternoons can bring crosswinds and stronger sun, especially on south-facing routes.
Helmet
Protects against high-speed falls on fast descents and variable road conditions.
Two 500–750ml water bottles or hydration pack
Keeps you hydrated through long climbs and exposed sections.
summer
Light windproof or packable jacket
Thin protective layer for cooler mornings and windy high-elevation rides.
spring
CO2 inflator or mini-pump and spare tube
Included pump and spare tube are useful; carry your own inflator for faster roadside fixes.
