Technologies of the Giant CONTEND 1 Shimano Road Bike

• ALUXX Aluminum Technology: performance level material made of 6061 aluminum alloy with single buttressing provides light weight without sacrificing strength, making it suitable for a variety of bikes.
• D-Fuse Technology: D-shaped seatpost dampens vibrations for a smooth and comfortable ride.
• OverDrive Oversized steerer: The original oversized steerer from GIANT. Built for steering precision, the extra-large headset bearings (1 1/4" bottom, 1 1/8" top) and tapered steerer tube deliver optimal front-end stiffness.
• Compact Road Design: introduced by GIANT with professional team ONCE in the 1990s, the Compact Road design revolutionized the look of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping top tube creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It facilitates the perfect fit for riders of all sizes.
