Description
Smooth, fast, and fun. This versatile aluminum 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 tires (up to 32mm) to further smooth out the ride. Engineered and built in Giant’s industry-leading aluminum forging facility, it’s a true all-rounder for ambitious road riders.
Features
Balanced road geometry
The frame is specifically engineered to produce a balanced, all-rounder feels 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 tires up to 28c for smoother ride quality and reduced risk of flats.
Lightweight Efficiency
Seamless brake integration produces more consistent braking power for better control, even in wet weather and rough roads
