SMOOTH, FAST AND FUN. THIS VERSATILE ALUMINIUM ROAD BIKE HELPS YOU PUSH THE PACE
Engineered with Giant’s lightweight ALUXX SL aluminum frame technology, the all-new Contend SL 1 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 32c) means you can now run larger volume tires for a smoother ride quality, and our Giant Tubeless System improves rolling efficiency and grip while minimizing the risk of flats.
