Contend AR 1 Frost Silver

Contend AR 1 Frost Silver

The Giant Contend AR 1 is built for adventure, blending efficiency and comfort with its lightweight aluminum frame and Advanced-grade composite fork. Wide tire clearance (up to 38mm) and hydraulic disc brakes ensure smooth, controlled rides on any road. A Shimano 105 - 12-speed drivetrain delivers crisp shifting, while tubeless-ready wheels boost traction while giving you fewer flat tires. Whether on pavement or rough backroads, this endurance road bike keeps you riding strong.
