Giant Contend AR 2 Bike
The CONTEND AR will encourage you to new cycling experiences and to explore hitherto unknown roads. It is a versatile aluminum bike with disc brakes and wider tires. It is intended for everyone who craves adventure and is looking for an affordable bike.ALUXX Aluminum Frame and Carbon Fork
The Contend AR is built on a modern and lightweight ALUXX aluminum frame with internal cable routing and an integrated seat clamp. ALUXX frames, made from high-quality aluminum alloy in our own factory, offer high stiffness and strength with low weight. For better vibration damping and thus reduced hand fatigue, the bike is equipped with a carbon fork (the steerer tube is also carbon).
High Comfort
The frame is designed to provide high comfort, even on roads with poor surfaces. The carbon D-Fuse seatpost also contributes to higher comfort, which thanks to its specific "D" shape allows for slight "flex" and thus helps to dampen vibrations. The Contend AR 1 model is also equipped with D-Fuse handlebars, which flex slightly downwards while providing high stiffness upwards.
Excellent Handling
Disc brakes provide strong braking power and smooth modulation, which improves bike control, even in variable weather. The brakes are mounted using modern flat mount attachments, and 12 mm thru-axles ensure the necessary stiffness. Wider 32C tires (34 mm rim width) are tubeless, which brings better riding characteristics and helps reduce the risk of punctures.
Suitable for riding on roads and cycle paths after work or over the weekend. These bikes have a more comfortable geometry than sports bikes, but they have their limitations when it comes to equipment, which will need more frequent fine-tuning.
Aluminium frame
Lighter, relatively durable and stiff material that is affordable. The most widespread material for the production of bicycle frames.
Mechanical disc brakes
Safer and more efficient braking even in wet and muddy conditions. Exerting more force on the lever for a higher braking effect. The cable may be subject to corrosion. Heavier weight.

All bicycles at the MTBIKER shop are new, not-ridden, from an official distributor and with a full warranty. Several brands even offer a lifetime warranty on the frame after registration. We perform all warranty services in MTBIKER stores after personal delivery or after sending the bike (or its part) by courier.
- The bicycle is taken out of the manufacturer's box
- The bicycle is assembled, inspected and adjusted (front and rear derailleur, shock, fork, wheels,...)
- The bicycle is carefully packaged back into a box and shipped
- If you order a bike for in-person pick-up or home delivery, the bike will be waiting for you assembled and checked
- If you order a bicycle via courier to your home address, the following must be done at home:
- Take the bike out of the box and carefully remove safety material and foils
- Mount handlebar to stem (1 minute, 4 or 5 mm hex hey is needed).
- Mount front wheel to fork (1 minute, without the need of any tools if the bike has a quick release).
- Loosen the screws in the headset, straighten the stem with the front wheel, tighten the upper screw on the fork and then tighten the headset (2 minutes, 4 or 5 mm hex key is needed).
- Mount the pedals to the cranks while lubricating the thread and carefully mounting it the right way (1 minute, 8 mm hex key or 15 mm wrench).
- Mount seat post to frame (10 seconds, without needing any tools if the frame has a quick link).
- Inflate the tires or fork and shock to desired pressure (2 minutes, pump needed).
- Check the tightening of hex keys and quick-releases (2 minutes, 4 and 5 mm hex key is needed).
- Go for a test drive! Handle your bicycle carefully until you get used to it. If the bike has disc brakes, their performance will be limited from now on - they will gain their full power after 4-5 strong brakes at higher speed.

Variant Giant Contend AR 2 bicykel, sandshell
Hello, I would like to ask if this bike is a good choice for a beginner cyclist. I would like to use it on the route in my area, Bratislava - Hainburg - Wien Hradza or Bratislava Vojka - Gabčíkovo, and would it be able to ride these sections without punctures, since I have no experience with road bikes. Thank you for the answer.
