Leave no road untravelled with the Contend AR 3 by Giant, the master of cycling technology. With a seamless blend of control and agility, this all-rounder bike provides an exhilarating journey, regardless of the route you choose.


Flawless Rider Positioning

Constructed using balanced road geometry, this bike has been expertly engineered to offer a harmonious feel. You can expect confident rider positioning that pairs seamlessly with nimble cornering and brisk acceleration.


Comfort on the Toughest Terrain

Experience refined ride quality with our innovative D-Fuse seatpost, designed to minimise road shocks and vibrations. The addition of the Giant WheelSystem allows for tubeless tyres up to 38mm, optimising smoothness and mitigating the risk of unwanted punctures.


Secure and Responsive Braking

Benefit from flawless disc brake integration that includes flat mounts and 12mm front and rear thru-axles. You'll experience consistent braking power for superior control, even when conditions are wet and the road is rough.


Advanced Bike Technologies

Stay ahead with ALUXX Aluminium Technology. Utilising 6061 alloy with single-butted tubes, this performance-level frame material creates a strong, lightweight framework suitable for various riding styles. We also offer Giant’s innovative OverDrive, an oversized fork steerer tube technology, to ensure precise front-end steering performance, and Compact Road Design, which transformed the look and feel of high-performance road bikes. This design technique, pioneered by Giant with Team ONCE in the 1990s, simplifies fitting for riders of all sizes. Also, enjoy fewer flat tyres and superior traction with Giant’s Tubeless System, designed to provide a smoother, faster ride, and discover comfort like never before with our D-Fuse Seatpost.

Whether seeking smooth or challenging roads, the Contend AR 3 will take you there with style, comfort, and control.
