PRODUCT DETAILS
GIANT CONTEND AR 2 2025 - DARK IRIDESCENT
Break out of the box and expand your road riding adventures.
From smooth pavement to bumpy backroads, our ultra-capable Contend AR road bike has built-in comfort and high-volume tyres, so you can ride any road with confidence and control.
The Contend AR’s frame is specifically engineered to produce a balanced, all-rounder feel that blends confident and relaxed rider positioning with agile cornering and acceleration.
Our innovative D-Fuse seat post reduces road shocks and vibrations, and a Giant wheelset lets you run tubeless tyres up to 38mm for a smoother ride quality and reduced risk of flats.
Seamless disc brake integration, including flat mounts and 12mm front and rear thru-axles, produces more consistent braking power for better control, even in wet weather and on rough roads.
Lastly, the Contend AR 2 comes built with Shimano’s excellent mid-range Tiagra gearing system paired to low-maintenance hydraulic disc brakes.
