State-of-the-art Technologies

ALUXX Aluminium Technology

Contend AR 1's frame is designed with this high-performance material that incorporates 6061 alloy with single-butted tubes to create robust, lightweight framesets optimal for various riding styles.

D-Fuse Technology

D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar, engineered to function as a system, absorb road vibrations, allowing you to ride longer, quicker.

OverDrive Steerer System

This unique, oversized fork steerer tube technology ensures precise front-end steering performance through oversized headset bearings and a tapered steerer tube, creating optimal steering stiffness.

Compact Road Design

This innovative design, introduced by Giant, has transformed high-performance road bikes' aesthetics and feel. The downward sloping top tube creates smaller front and rear triangles, yielding a lighter, sturdier bike and a perfect fit for riders of all sizes.

Tubeless System

The Contend AR 1 features Giant's Tubeless System, offering the benefits of fewer flats, improved traction, reduced rolling resistance and a swift, smoother ride.
