Giant Contend 3 Road Bike (Knight Shield) (XS)

Giant Contend 3 Road Bike Description:

The Giant Contend 3 Road Bike was built for riders looking to embark on epic solo adventures or join group road rides with a companion that serves burgeoning road riders, or seasoned enthusiasts alike. Designed to be lightweight, Contend 3 employs an ALUXX aluminum frame crafted from 6061 alloy for a compliant ride that doesn’t tip the scales or sacrifice durability. An OverDrive tapered aluminum alloy fork is very durable and delivers excellent stability and handling, and eliminates high speed wobbles during descents. Further ride quality improvement is endorsed by the D-Fuse seatpost, an alloy seatpost with a proprietary “D” shape for a better sense of road shock deflection.
