The AR weekend will encourage you to explore new cycling experiences and explore places you've never seen before. It is a versatile and very comfortable road bike with an aluminium frame, disc brakes and wider tyres. It is designed for those who have a thirst for adventure and are also looking for a bike that is affordable.
TheContend AR is built on a modern and lightweight ALUXX aluminium frame with internal bowden routing and integrated saddle clamp. Manufactured from high quality aluminium alloy in our own factory, ALUXX frames deliver high stiffness and strength at low weight. For better vibration damping and thus reduced hand fatigue, the bike is equipped with a carbon fork (the fork post is also carbon).

The frame is designed to provide high comfort, even on roads with poorer surfaces. Also helping to increase comfort is the D-Fuse carbon seatpost, which, thanks to its specific "D" shape, allows for a slight "spring" to help dampen vibrations. The Contend AR 1 is also fitted with D-Fuse handlebars, which offer a slight downward flex while providing high stiffness on the uphill side.
The disc brakes provide strong stopping power and smooth modulation, improving the bike's handling, even in changeable weather. The brakes are mounted using modern flat mount mounts and 12mm solid axles provide the necessary stiffness. The wider 32c tyres (34mm wide at the rim) are tubeless, giving improved handling and helping to reduce the risk of punctures.
Founded in 1972, Giant is the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world.
Giant is the world's leading brand of high quality bicycles and cycling equipment. As part of the Giant Group, founded in 1972, the Giant brand combines craftsmanship, advanced technology and innovative design.
Giant has long been one of the leading innovators in cycling. They introduced lighter and stronger aluminium frames at a time when steel was the industry standard. They were the first to make carbon fibre bikes widely available to the world. They defined modern road bike design with Compact Road geometry. And the patented Maestro suspension revolutionized the full-suspension bike segment.

| Weight | Unfortunately, there is no standard for weighing bikes that all manufacturers adhere to, and the weights listed are often inaccurate. To find out the exact weight of a bike in a given size, you need to have the bike weighed at the store, as well as a model from a competing brand – this is the only way to get accurate figures for weight comparison. |
