Résumé

The Giant Contend series is celebrated for its endurance geometry, offering a comfortable and upright riding position ideal for long rides and newer cyclists. Its aluminum frame and D-Fuse seatpost provide a smooth ride, absorbing road vibrations effectively. While it may not match the speed of race-specific models, its versatility, value for money, and reliable performance make it a standout choice in the endurance category.

Pros
  • Endurance geometry for comfort

  • High-quality aluminum frame

  • D-Fuse seatpost for vibration management

  • Versatile for various terrains

  • Great value for money

Cons
  • Heavier than race-specific models

  • Components may lack efficiency compared to higher-end bikes

  • High-speed handling not as precise

Key Quotes
this frame is on par with other aluminum road bikes I’ve ridden that are twice its price
Bicycling
The Contend bikes have an endurance geometry: less aggressive than a race rig and more comfortable for a rider who hasn’t yet developed the racer’s flexibility.

Giant Contend AR 1 2020 review: Fresh and affordable all-road - CyclingTips

oct. 2019 · Dave Rome

If the lines between road and gravel bikes were already blurry, then the way things are trending is likely to confuse you even further. All-road bikes are relatively new and aim to do everything a good endurance-style road bike does, albeit with a pinch of additional versatility. As the name suggests, they’re designed to handle […]

Points forts
  • Impressively composed ride, meets All-Road name, quality features, tubeless tyres, wide-range gearing.

Points faibles
  • Fussy thru-axles, loosely-captured hub end caps, rattly shifters, versatility comes at the expense of weight.

Giant Contend SL1 review

avr. 2019 · Simon Withers

There’s little noticeable difference between last year’s brakes and these, Giant having swapped one set of Tektro calipers for another.

Points forts
  • Lovely smooth, comfortable and versatile all-rounder with a great ride

Points faibles
  • A little heavier than some and the looks don’t appeal to all
