Giant Contend SL Disc 1 review

Nov 2022 · Ashley Quinlan

A very good-value way to get your hands on a Shimano 105-equipped bike with a highly competent frameset

Highs

  • Good value overall

  • High-quality frame

  • Easy to ride

  • Bombproof build

Lows

  • Non 105-spec chainset and brake rotors

  • Wheels and tyres feel weighty and uninspiring
