Highlight

This modern all-rounder is built on a lightweight aluminium frame paired with a composite fork to give you control and comfort that goes the distance. There’s extra clearance for wide, high-volume tyres—the kind you need for unpredictable or changing road surfaces. The components are engineered for whatever the road dishes out. The seatpost and cockpit add smooth compliance, giving you comfort that won’t quit when you push past old limits. Any distance, all types of roads. With the new Contend AR.

ALL-ROAD FAST
An aero-shaped down tube and composite fork form a sleek profile that cuts through wind and absorbs road shocks and vibrations. Wide tire clearance (up to 43mm) lets you run high-volume tires for a smoother, more efficient ride over rough roads or gravel. Giant P-AR wheels offer an all-rounder rim depth of 23mm and robust aluminum construction that’s lightweight and strong enough to handle everyday use on variable road surfaces. The cockpit setup features internally routed cables to further reduce wind drag and create a clean, modern look.

ENDURANCE INSPIRED
A D-Fuse composite seatpost absorbs road shocks and vibrations from the rear wheel, while an Advanced-grade composite fork reduces road chatter up front. These proven technologies, borrowed from high-performance Giant road bikes, add compliance to help minimize fatigue on long rides. The Giant Approach saddle uses Particle Flow Technology to conform to your body. High-volume Gavia Fondo 2 32mm tubeless tires allow you to run lower tire pressure for better grip and a smoother ride quality. The tires feature Race Shield Kevlar puncture protection to help prevent tire punctures.

COMMAND CONTROL
An ergonomically designed handlebar optimizes hand comfort in every position, from the tops to the hoods to the drops. The drops have 7.2-degree flare for greater confidence and control while descending and cornering. Hydraulic disc brakes deliver consistent, predictable braking power and help minimize hand fatigue on long descents. A proven Shimano drivetrain offers a wide range of gears for optimal pedaling cadence on variable terrain.
