CONTEND SL 1 DISC

Elevate your road riding experience with confidence and control. This versatile all-rounder is built on a lightweight aluminum frame and performance parts that can handle smooth roads, rough roads and everything in between.
 
Engineered with Giant’s lightweight ALUXX SL aluminum frame technology, the Contend SL Disc delivers a confident ride quality that’s lightweight, compliant and balanced for a wide variety of road riding enthusiasts. Seamless disc-brake integration gives you more control regardless of road or weather conditions, and the innovative D-Fuse composite seatpost dampens road vibrations. Added tire clearance (up to 32mm) allows you to run larger volume tires for a smoother ride quality, and our Giant Tubeless System improves rolling efficiency and grip while reducing the risk of flats.
