The Giant Contend AR 3 is designed to help riders explore more of every ride on smooth tarmac, rough lanes, and everything in between. Its ALUXX-Grade Aluminium frame is engineered using single-butted 6061 alloy tubes, giving it an excellent balance of low weight, durability, and ride quality. The Compact Road Design, a signature Giant innovation, uses a sloping toptube to create a more efficient frame structure while helping a wide range of riders achieve an ideal fit.

Key Features:

• ALUXX aluminium frame with balanced, all-rounder geometry
• Advanced-Grade Composite fork with OverDrive steerer
• Shimano CUES U3030 20-speed drivetrain
• Tektro MD-C550 mechanical disc brakes
• Giant S-R2 Disc wheels with CST Sprint 33c tyres

A full-composite fork with an OverDrive steerer improves steering precision, giving you confidence on descents and through tight corners. Disc brake integration, with 12mm thru-axles front and rear ensures consistent stopping performance in all weather conditions, offering greater control when roads turn wet or unpredictable.

Comfort is built into the Contend AR’s DNA. The D-Fuse alloy seatpost flexes subtly to reduce vibrations, while high-volume 33c tyres smooth out rougher surfaces and can be run tubeless on the Giant WheelSystem for enhanced comfort and puncture protection. This combination allows the bike to handle everything from fast club rides to longer endurance days or mixed-surface routes.

Shimano’s CUES 20-speed drivetrain provides dependable shifting with a wide gear range, making climbs manageable and maintaining smooth performance mile after mile. Paired with Tektro MD-C550 mechanical disc brakes and Giant finishing kit, the build is reliable, well-balanced, and ready for varied riding styles.

Whether you're building fitness, exploring new routes, or simply looking for a road bike with extra versatility, the Giant Contend AR 3 delivers confidence and comfort across a wide range of conditions. It’s a dependable companion for riders who want a road bike that adapts to the real world, not just perfect tarmac.
