The ALUXX-grade aluminium frame uses single-butted tubing to keep weight sensible while delivering the strength and durability needed for regular riding.Its balanced road geometry puts you in a confident, stable position that works well for long rides, steady climbing and controlled cornering. Paired with a full carbon fork and Giant’s OverDrive steerer system, the front end feels precise and reassuring, especially on faster descents or rougher roads.Comfort is a key part of the Contend AR’s design. The D-Fuse composite seatpost flexes slightly under load to reduce vibrations from rough surfaces, helping reduce fatigue on longer rides. Wide clearance allows the use of high-volume tyres, and the bike comes set up with 32c tubeless Giant Gavia Fondo tyres for extra grip, comfort and fewer punctures.Shimano’s Tiagra 2x10 drivetrain offers smooth, reliable shifting with a wide gear range that suits everything from steady cruising to tackling rolling terrain. The compact 50/34 chainset and 10–34 cassette make climbing more manageable without compromising top-end speed.Hydraulic disc brakes from Shimano deliver consistent braking performance in all conditions, giving added confidence in wet weather and on unpredictable road surfaces. With thru-axles front and rear, the bike tracks accurately and stays composed when the road quality drops.Whether you’re building mileage, riding mixed road surfaces or looking for a dependable all-round road bike, the Contend AR 2 offers comfort, control and versatility for everyday road riding.
