Heya. Great content, keep it up. Quick question. I’m going to a show in Toronto Ontario Canada this weekend. I’m looking at the AR vs a Defy. I’m a bigger rider at 6’3 270. Just wondering which you would suggest. Tx much.
I have the Contend AR 2 and I personally like this bike the most for road usage. Will be snagging a PROPEL ADVANCED 1 once i find a buyer for my AR 2. Giant makes solid bikes for sure.
Like the content you provide in your channel, just today was in bike shop looking at and trying out contend sl1 (2019) as its on sale right now, but by watching this think i will go for preodering the 2020 model as its has full carbon fork for 50 euros extra
i have both a GIANT contend 3 AND a GIANT contend ar3......they are both extraordinary!....for $ 2000 i have TWO great bikes that are less than half the price of 1 comparable bike from some other makers...both bikes weigh in at 22.5 lbs...both are stiff framed and very well built...the contend 3 at $ 800 IS LIGHT AND SUPER FAST with easy shifting 8 speed cassette...its got a great RED paint finish and after i upgraded to 700x32mm tires its an all around great bike. The AR3 is a beautiful black finish with large white lettering...it feels nearly identical to the base bike but has an extra gear (9) in the rear and a double disc setup....im 71 years old and i must tell you i FLY on these bikes and can climb very effectively due to excellent gearing and light weight....i RECOMMEND these bikes 100%.....
My local bike shop stocks Giant and Merida. I have £1000 budget, seriously tempted by the SL1. Thanks for the video.
Hi I have the Marin Gestalt X10 and was considering the Giant SL1 disc. Will the giant be faster on the road?. I know the X10 is a gravel but I have never rode a road bike.
Hi have SL1. First of all I love the colour :-) I know... it is very subjective. I've bought it for commuting. I Ireland it comes with semi-compact crank-set (52-36) and I replaced it with compact one (50-34) as it is more suitable for city riding and some hills with 11% gradient. It doesn't feel heavy. This is endurance bike and in that role it is fantastic. It could be commuting or spins with friends, it will do those things quite nicely. For the fist time I use 11-speed 105 and it works very well. Shifting is very smooth and light. I think it is better than Ultegra 6700 on my other bike. Ride is very smooth and more comfortable than on my second bike due to 28mm tyres. I use 23/25mm on my other bike. Position is quite comfortable but it depends on so many factors (stem length, stem angle, saddle etc.) This bike has bottom mounting points for carriers/rack with is very useful. I put a rack on it. It looks terrible now ;-) but I can take a lot of stuff with me to my work. Overall I'm very happy with that purchase. At that price it is very good offer.
Would you say it's better suited for commuting than the Contend AR series?
I've got the same bike, love it. With semi-compact also. I've changed the cassette to 11-32 (from 11-30) for the hills but not sure it makes much difference. Did it make much of a difference when you went to 50-34? Its a little hilly where I live.
I like disc brake. Now make me confused between sl 1 disc or defy advance 2. Any suggestion?
Awesome awesome , you are my favourite youtuber 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you. Im planning to buy a contend sl 2 disk
Contend AR and Contend SL has different geo, SL has shorter wheelsbase and chainstay, and also different length of seat tube and top tube. Nice "inside"
My goal is to have a contend ar1 hanging in my garage in the spring. Love that bike! Ticks all the boxes for me
light aluminum frame
Hydraulic disk brakes
105
Ability to run multiple wheel sizes
Great price
Comfortable riding position
Lots of compliance thanx to dfuse seatpost
Just need to add giants carbon dfuse bars a set of 650 by 47mm wheels for Offroad days and a 32c road tire on stock rims for road days and it’s perfect 👌
Thanks for the review. I just bought the Contend (black and orange) yesterday. Looking forward to riding it.
I've had mine for about 2 months. You're going to love it!!
I have a giant contend ar, and maxxis ravager 700*40 fit into this frame, which in fact became 700*43 on my wheelset), there were 4-5 millimeters of clearance left, this is a custom bike and its weight was 9.2kilo
If I can get trek alr4 disc used for same price as contend sl2, which one should I get ?
I think last year's base content 1 came with the tubeless tires at least here In the US ...that no longer seems to be the case. Tubeless ready only...also I think the content 1 use can use up to 32c.
Hi
In need of a serious help here..
Planning my first road bike.. really confused between two options.. Merida Scultra 100 2020 and Giant Contend 2 2020
What would be the perfect choice..
Contend is perfect.
I want to buy this bike. AR3 Seems pretty sweet.
The SL pricing seems a bit high, 200 AUD more than what I got a 2019 SuperSix Evo for a few months ago.
I love my giant content sl disc 11 speed 105 crankset very smooth bike
Why not compare the Domana, Checkpoint, Hatchet and Contend models with the same groupset?
we dont have the SL1 here in usa
I’m going Giant. I’m 77 inches and Giant makes a 64cm frame with 105 components
Planning to buy contend 1 because giant site says it can fit up to 32c.
A guy on yt tested 38c and it still had room 👍🏼
@@AndrewEvenstar can you get me the link?
Super film 👍 Więcej takich filmów 👍🚴🇵🇱 Pozdrawiamy serdecznie z CHICAGO 👍🇵🇱🚵🇵🇱🚴🇵🇱
When you buy the bike it is set up tubeless with sealant in tyres for you.
Do you have a source on the sealant? I believe you. I have the contend AR 1,just haven't seen thay anywhere yet! I'm new to bikes so not sure if that's standard to do that
Im sick of this bike🙂practical and affordable. This is rebranding with some gravel tweaks. BTW I like your channel.
