This has to be the best concise video explaining half of Giant's lineup, and their pros and cons. Hats off brother.

[@ronitdebnath]

Cool. Thanks.

[@nitishsrivastava1496]

Very well explained Ronit. There's a lot of confusion when it comes to Giant's Contend range. Especially the AR series' geometry is am eye-opener.

[@ronitdebnath]

Thanks. :)

[@knthyn2871]

Thanks for the helpful info, been looking for this all day. Really wanna know about the rest of the contend series because here in Vietnam we only get the contend 1 2 3. Keep up the good job!!

[@ronitdebnath]

Thanks a lot for the generous comment. Because this is a small channel, a sub would be really helpful. I do think Allez is a better bike than the Contend 2 and Allez Sport than the Contend 1. Having said that contend is pretty decent too.

[@feralearthworm3044]

I see the contend AR and SL online here in Vietnam. I hope they have the SL1 here or else I'm gonna get a Polygon, I guess.

[@ronitdebnath]

Dont get a Polygon please. There are so many better alternatives. We may talk in more detail about those. But please don't get a Strattos.

[@feralearthworm3044]

@@ronitdebnath Thanks for the warning, I really appreciate you saving me from possibly a rather big mistake.

[@ronitdebnath]

We can talk in detail about the best bike for you. You may whatsapp me at [phone]. I would be glad to help you.

[@rohitarora4923]

Just found your channel now. Have been used to riding hybrid and mtb’s. Wanted to try my hand at a road bike or drop bar gravel bike. This video had been very helpful. Was considering something between a giant scr 2, contend 2 or the trek doman al2. What would you suggest as a starter and the one that is suitable for future upgrades? Subscribed to your channel

[@ronitdebnath]

If you are from India or otherwise, pls feel free to contact (whatsapp) me at [phone]. I would help you with which bike to buy, size, and where to buy it from. Feel free to contact. I would suggest a Giant Contend 2 on the face of it....but would like a more detailed discussion. Thanks for subbing. Much appreciated and grateful for it.

[@frederickstaana1269]

amazing content sir..

[@ronitdebnath]

Thanks

[@Ducklingstv]

Giant contend 2 or giant defy 4 ? Which is better?

[@suptidas1472]

👍

[@ronitdebnath]

:D

[@GoodVibes-qs4iu]

Giant Contend 2 vs Fuji Sportif vs Trek Domane AL 2 Disc. Can you please suggest which you would prefer among these?

[@ronitdebnath]

If looking at all round bike, something I would ride for fast short rides as well as Endurance rides then Contend 2. If for Strictly Endurance riding with an Upright position then Domane AL2.

[@brindagodhi1266]

Hi Very informative video I am little confused which size to buy My height -170 cms Inseem -79 cms Selection of bike - contend Ar 1 disc/ contend SL 1 disc ( confusion ) I have been riding mountain bike ( connondale medium frame ) from 4 yrs .. Kindly suggest the size and bike

[@ronitdebnath]

Size S. No doubt. For either bike. Would u ride gravel or just pavement 90% of the time? If pavement 90% time then Contend SL (tyre clearance of 32mm sufficient). If you will ride light gravel sometimes then Contend AR (if you need extra tyre clearance upto 40mm). If you want to talk in detail you can Whatsapp call at [phone]. But given the info you gave me here...this is the verdict I could give. Size S in both bikes. 100%.

[@23021973]

@@ronitdebnath great video on the different variants of Contend. I’m considering getting the Content AR1. Based on height (169cm), I should be getting size S. But based on standover height (75cm inseam), size XS appears to be more suitable. Which size should I choose? I will be riding mainly road/pavement and I like the larger tire clearance of AR in case I want to put a wider tire for more comfort. Thanks!

[@ronitdebnath]

I would like to help you in more detail. Would you mind whatsapp ing me at [phone]. I would like to ensure we are making the right choice.

[@navigationsfilms]

do you know the weight of the frame and of the fork?

[@ronitdebnath]

Expect 1400g for the frame and 350g for the fork in a Contend rim frame.

[@JohnGalt539]

AR-4 comes with 32 mm tires

[@ronitdebnath]

Yes. I only mentioned the clearance in the video.

[@sv-cr5yo]

Specialised stopped selling bikes in India 😭

[@ronitdebnath]

Yes. Hope they ll come back in 3/4 yrs.
