Giant Contend AR 0 - Arctic Light

This modern all-rounder is based on a lightweight aluminium frame combined with a carbon fork and gives you control and comfort over long distances. The additional tyre clearance creates space for wide, high-volume tyres - exactly right for unpredictable or changing road surfaces. The components are designed for everything you encounter on the road. The seatpost and cockpit provide pleasant compliance and lasting comfort when you push past your previous limits. Every distance, every type of road.

INSPIRED BY ENDURANCE
A D-Fuse Composite seatpost absorbs shocks and vibrations from the rear wheel, while an Advanced Composite fork reduces bumps at the front. These proven technologies from our high-performance Giant road bikes provide extra ride comfort and help minimise fatigue on long tours. The Giant Approach saddle adapts to your body thanks to Particle Flow Technology. The large-volume, tubeless Gavia Fondo 2 tyres with 32 mm width allow for lower tyre pressure for better grip and a smoother ride feel. The tyres feature a Race Shield Kevlar puncture protection to help prevent flats.

FULL CONTROL
An ergonomically shaped handlebar optimises comfort for your hands in every grip position - on the top bar, on the brake lever hoods and in the drops. The drops are flared by 7.2 degrees, providing more safety and control on descents and in corners. Hydraulic disc brakes deliver consistent, well-modulated braking performance and help reduce hand fatigue on long descents. A proven Shimano drivetrain provides a wide gear range for an optimal cadence on changing terrain.
