Giant Contend AR 3 Road Bike Description:

The Giant Contend AR 3 Road Bike was assembled for riders aspiring to navigate endless miles of asphalt, or the occasional unpaved shortcut, with adaptive geometry and a capable parts spec that keeps each ride smooth on flats, spry on climbs, and confident on descents. Crafted using proven, ALUXX 6061 aluminum alloy, Contend AR 3 possesses a strength-to-weight ratio that keeps it light, but durable and compliant enough to handle occasional unpaved voyages the same way it handles smooth pavement. Wider, 32mm wide tires increase stability and control when tacking on and off-road activity, with support for tubeless tires up to 38mm in width. Up front, a composite fork equipped with OverDrive steerer and powerful disc brakes ensures precise handling and reliable stopping power, giving you confidence on any terrain.
