ALL-ROAD CONFIDENCE. ALL-DAY COMFORT.

The Giant Contend AR 3 2021 is built for riders who crave smooth efficiency on rougher roads. Designed around a lightweight ALUXX aluminium frame with wide tyre clearance and disc brakes, it blends road-bike speed with all-road capability for endurance rides, commutes, or light gravel adventures.

Key Performance Factors

Balanced Road Geometry

The endurance-focused frame delivers confident handling and a smooth ride, ideal for long distances and mixed terrain.

All-Road Capable

With clearance for tyres up to 38mm and integrated disc brakes, the Contend AR 3 is ready for everything from tarmac to rough backroads and light gravel.

Smooth, Efficient Ride

A carbon composite D-Fuse seatpost helps dampen road vibrations, while the compact frame design ensures efficient power transfer without sacrificing comfort.

TECHS & FEATURES

×

This Performance level frame material features 6061 alloy with single-butted tubes to produce strong, lightweight framesets for a variety of different bikes and riding styles.

×

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 DESIGN

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.
