Brilliant all-round road bike that's comfortable and engaging to ride

Cycling Weekly

The Giant Contend SL 1 is a superb bike for its price. The let-down is looks and weight but you can't really argue with that performance v price point.

Pros
  1. Price
  2. Handling
  3. Ride quality
Cons
  1. Weight
