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 and developed for aspiring riders looking to elevate their experience on the road, the Contend offers responsive acceleration and a confident rider position. The innovative D-Fuse seatpost helps reduce road shocks and vibrations, and there's enough frame and fork clearance to run wide tyres (up to 28c) 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.
Balanced Road Geometry
The frame is specifically engineered to produce a balanced, all-rounder feel that blends confident rider positioning with agile cornering and acceleration.
Smooth Ride Quality
The innovative D-Fuse seatpost design reduces road shocks and vibrations, and a Giant WheelSystem lets you run tyres up to 32c for a smoother ride quality.
Total Control
Mounts for both rack and mudguards ensure that the Contend can deal with any type of riding, no matter the weather.
ALUXX Aluminium
This Performance level frame material features 6061 alloy with single-butted tubes to produce strong, lightweight framesets for a variety of different bikes and riding styles.
Compact Road Design
Introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE in the 1990s, Compact Road revolutionised the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping toptube (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit.
D-Fuse Seatpost
The proprietary 'D' shaped aluminium seatpost dampens vibration, resulting in a smooth, compliant ride.
Overdrive
Giant's original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system's oversized headset bearings (1 1/4" lower and 1 1/8" upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
Giant Tubeless System
Integrated Tubeless WheelSystem and tyres deliver improved efficiency, comfort and control in the most user-friendly and reliable system.
