Giant Contend AR 1 Road Bike

Giant Contend AR 1 – Versatile all-rounder for road & adventure

Smooth on asphalt, safe off-road.

The Giant Contend AR 1 is the perfect entry into the world of all-road racing bikes. Whether smooth roads or rough terrain – the lightweight AluxX frame, the Advanced full carbon fork, and the innovative D-Fuse seatpost offer a smooth ride, excellent control, and high comfort. With this bike, you're ready for long tours, weekend getaways, or adventurous routes off the beaten track.

Balanced geometry & ride comfort

The specially tuned road geometry combines a safe, upright riding position with agile maneuverability and rapid acceleration. The D-Fuse seatpost reduces vibrations, while the Giant WheelSystem supports pre-mounted tubeless tires up to 38 mm – for maximum comfort, grip, and puncture resistance from the very first ride.

Control & Security

The Contend AR 1 is equipped with Shimano 105 HRD disc brakes, flat-mount brake mounts, and 12 mm thru-axles. This ensures consistent braking performance in all weather conditions and maximum control on any surface.

Excellent value for money

The Contend AR 1 impresses not only with its versatility but also with its attractive price-performance ratio. The magazine "RennRad" (03/2024) awarded it its "Price-Performance Tip" – ideal for long-distance cyclists, beginners, and anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable all-round road bike.
