Balanced and assured aluminium endurance bike equally suited to long rides at pace and commuter pothole-bashing

The brake system will put some off, but the Contend SL is a great all-rounder. Buy if you want a comfortable distance machine with most of the advantages of hydraulic discs
Excellent all-round ride quality, braking performance
Complex brake setup, boring paint job
Nov 2016 · BikesEtc
A sure-footed, affordable choice for the endurance first-timer
Racy geometry
Efficient ride
Good pedigree
Some component compromises to reach low price
