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.

Weight
The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
