Giant Contend AR 3

Some roads are smooth, others are rough. This smooth-riding all-rounder handles it all, taking you from the main route to more adventurous options with confidence and control.

Contend AR combines a smooth, responsive ride quality with an ability to handle adventurous new routes. Disc-brake integration and generous tire clearance (up to 38mm) put you in control, even on rough roads. A D-Fuse composite seatpost dampens road vibrations, giving you a smoother, more enjoyable ride experience. This is a true all-rounder for road riders who have a thirst for adventure.
