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

BikeRadar

Simon Withers

Good kit, lovely ride and tubeless-ready – the 2020 Contend is a great bike for a grand

Pros
  1. Handling
  2. Comfort
  3. Quality compact frame
  4. carbon seatpost
  5. tubeless-ready wheels
Cons
  1. Slightly unexciting looks, heavier than some, higher gearing won’t appeal to all

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
