SMOOTH, FAST AND FUN. THIS VERSATILE ALUMINIUM ROAD BIKE HAS BEEN REVAMPED TO GIVE IT A WELL-ROUNDED PERFORMANCE RIDE QUALITY. IT’S THE PERFECT CHOICE TO HELP YOU PUSH THE PACE, RIDE MORE MILES, AND EXPAND YOUR ROAD RIDING EXPERIENCE.

Designed for aspiring riders aiming to ride a little faster and go a little farther, Contend offers a smooth, efficient ride quality and a quick, agile feel on the road. The innovative D-Fuse seatpost helps reduce road shocks and vibrations, and there’s enough frame and fork clearance to run wider tyres (up to 32mm) to further smooth out the ride. Engineered and built in Giant’s industry-leading aluminium forging facility, it’s a true all-rounder for ambitious road riders.

KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS

Balanced road geometry – Frame is specifically engineered to produce a balanced, all-rounder feel that blends confident rider positioning with agile cornering and acceleration.

Smooth ride quality – Innovative D-Fuse seatpost design reduces road shocks and vibrations, and a Giant WheelSystem lets you run tubeless tyres up to 32mm for a smoother ride quality and reduced risk of flats.

Lightweight Efficiency – Mounts for both rack and mudguards ensure that the Contend can deal with any type of riding no matter what the weather
