ALUXX SL Aluminum Technology
This High-Performance level, state-of-the-art aluminum material is made predominantly from 6011 alloy and delivers best-in-class strength-to-weight ratios. These framesets also feature unique welding technologies for a high-performance ride quality.
-
D-Fuse Technology
The D-Fuse seatpost and handlebar were designed to function as a system, absorbing road shocks and vibrations so you can ride farther, faster.
Overview
Overview
From its sleek, aero-inspired alloy frame and composite fork to its road-smoothing components and ergonomically designed cockpit, the new Contend SL makes performance road riding accessible to all. Speed through the city or join the group ride with more confidence, control and speed.
Key Performance Factors
- AERO INSPIRED: An aero-shaped down tube and composite fork form a sleek profile that cuts through the wind. The Giant ALP WheelSystem has an all-rounder rim depth of 30mm and robust aluminum construction that’s lightweight and strong enough to handle everyday use on variable road surfaces. The cockpit setup features internally routed cables to further reduce wind drag and create a clean, modern look.
- COMMAND CONTROL: An ergonomically designed handlebar optimizes hand comfort in every position, from the tops to the hoods to the drops. The drops have 7.2-degree flare for greater confidence and control descending and cornering. Hydraulic disc brakes deliver consistent, predictable braking power and help minimize hand fatigue on long descents. A proven Shimano drivetrain with a 50/34 chainring combination offers a wide range of gears for optimal pedaling cadence on variable terrain.
- SMOOTH COMFORT: An Advanced-grade composite fork soaks up the bumps and contours of the road, minimizing hand and arm fatigue, while an ergo-shaped handlebar with an expanded surface area helps distributes pressure across the palm and thumb web. A D-Fuse seatpost absorbs shocks and vibrations, and a Giant Grit Core saddle uses Particle Flow Technology to conform to your body. Higher volume 28mm tubeless tires allow you to run lower tire pressure for better grip and a smoother ride quality.
