Giant Contend SL 1 - Pearl White

From the slim, aerodynamics-inspired aluminium frame and the carbon fork to the road-friendly components and ergonomically shaped cockpit, the new Contend SL makes high-performance road bike riding accessible to everyone. Ride with more confidence, control and speed through the city or join a group.

AERO-INSPIRED
An aerodynamically shaped down tube and a carbon fork create a sleek profile that cuts through the wind. The Giant ALP WheelSystem has a versatile rim depth of 30 mm and a robust aluminium construction that is light and strong enough to handle everyday use on different road surfaces. The cockpit setup has internally routed cables to further reduce aerodynamic drag and create a clean, modern Look.

FULL CONTROL
The ergonomically shaped handlebar provides excellent hand comfort in every position, whether on the tops, the drops or in the cornering position. The cornering position has a 7.2-degree flare for more safety and control on descents and in corners. Hydraulic disc brakes provide consistent, predictable braking power and help minimise hand fatigue on long descents. A proven Shimano drivetrain with a 50/34 chainring combination offers a wide range of gears for an optimal cadence across different terrain.

SMOOTHER COMFORT
A high-quality carbon fork absorbs road imperfections and contours, reducing fatigue in your hands and arms, while an ergonomically shaped handlebar with increased surface area distributes pressure across the palm and thumb area. A D-Fuse seatpost absorbs shocks and vibrations, and an Giant Grit Core saddle adapts to your body thanks to Particle Flow Technology. With the more voluminous 28 mm tubeless tyres, you can run lower tyre pressures—for more grip and a calmer ride feel.
