Lightweight alloy. Endurance comfort. Built for confident all-round performance.

The 2024 Giant Contend SL 1 Disc is a premium aluminium endurance road bike designed for riders who want the perfect balance of speed, comfort, and control. Whether you’re training, commuting, or tackling long-distance sportives, this bike blends lightweight efficiency with modern disc-brake technology in a sleek Gloss Eclipse finish.

Its ALUXX SL-grade aluminium frame is engineered for a responsive yet compliant ride, with endurance-focused geometry that balances stability and agility. The Advanced-grade composite fork with OverDrive steerer improves steering precision while reducing road vibrations, keeping you comfortable on longer rides.

The Shimano 105 2x12-speed drivetrain delivers crisp, reliable shifting with a wide gear range for climbing and fast flats. Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful, consistent stopping power in all weather conditions. The Giant P-R2 Disc wheelset and tubeless-ready tyres ensure confident grip and comfort across varied road surfaces. The D-Fuse seatpost further enhances compliance, reducing fatigue on endurance rides.

With internal cable routing, tyre clearance up to 32mm, and integrated mounts for fenders, the Contend SL 1 Disc is ready for everything from fast group rides to all-weather commuting.

Professional Opinion
  • ALUXX SL
    This High-Performance level, state-of-the-art aluminium material is made predominantly from 6011 alloy and delivers best-in-class strength-to-weight ratios. These framesets also feature unique welding technologies for 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.
  • Tubeless System
    Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.
  • Overdrive
    Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road, 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
  • Compact Road
    Introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE in the 1990s, Compact Road revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping toptube (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit.
