The versatile 'Contend SL 1' road bike from 'Giant' has been perceptively designed, endowing it with a confident balance of smooth compliance and responsive ride performance. Its unique lightweight ALUXX SL aluminium frame renders it perfect for different types of road terrain, from rough mountainous terrain to smooth city roads.

The rear triangle on Contend SL 1 accelerates swiftly, while the front-end endows the rider with a confident, balanced riding position. Its unique features, including the D-Fuse carbon composite seat post and increased tyre clearance assures a smooth and superior ride quality.

Outstanding Road Geometry

Engineered with meticulous precision, the Contend SL 1's frame produces an all-rounded feel. The blend of confident rider positioning with agile road handling ensures a premium biking experience.

Superior Ride Comfort

Incorporated with the innovative D-Fuse carbon composite seat post, the Contend SL 1 successfully reduces road vibrations. With the capacity to accommodate up to 28c tyres, the Giant wheelset guarantees a smooth, bump-free ride regardless of the terrain.

Lightweight and Efficient

The exclusive ALUXX SL aluminium frame of the Contend SL 1 ensures efficient climbing prowess and snappy acceleration, making every ride an exciting and refreshing adventure.

State-of-the-art Technologies

Boasting the high-performance ALUXX SL Aluminium Technology, the Contend SL 1 brings forward a highly efficient strength-to-weight ratio. This, paired with unique welding methodologies, results in a high-quality ride.

The Contend SL 1 has been designed with the Compact Road Design, a revolution introduced by Giant along with Team ONCE in the 1990s. The unique downward sloping top tube creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter and stiffer bike.

Finally, Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology ensures precise front-end steering performance for the Contend SL 1 road bike. The system’s oversized headset bearings and tapered steerer tube work in unison to provide optimal steering stiffness, ensuring you ride with confidence and poise every time.
