Description
Smooth, fast and fun. This versatile aluminum road bike has been revamped to give it a well-rounded performance ride quality. It’s the perfect choice to help you push the pace, ride more miles, and expand your road riding experience.
Designed for aspiring riders aiming to ride a little faster and go a little farther, Contend offers a smooth, efficient ride quality and a quick, agile feel on the road. The innovative D-Fuse seatpost helps reduce road shocks and vibrations, and there’s enough frame and fork clearance to run wider tires (up to 32mm) to further smooth out the ride. Engineered and built in Giant’s industry-leading aluminum forging facility, it’s a true all-rounder for ambitious road riders.

Contend 2 is a good beginner bike with all rounder geometry. BOTS packing and customer service is topnotch
After much research I narrowed in on Giant Contend 2 and Trek Domane AL 2. The Trek was cheaper by 3k, but the tyre width turned out to be the dealbreaker for me. Huge thanks to Rohan for also helping me make this decision.
Contend 2 is an excellent bike and gives the right combo of speed and control for someone coming up from a hybrid.
Shifting with the Claris works like a dream, and even though there was a minor issue with the shift lever making contact at lower gears with the upper gear level, it needed a bit of pushing by hand and it's been smooth so far.
Really hope to do a lot more longer rides with this.
