Aero Road - Propel

Designed to slice through the wind and deliver ultimate speed, the Propel is our dedicated aero racing machine. Packed full of the latest technology and designed in a wind tunnel, the Propel offers aerodynamic efficiency and blazing speed thanks to its unique tube profiles, aero integration and best-in-class frame stiffness.

Featuring a full carbon frame throughout the range, and available in rim or disc brake options, the Propel is a proven winner - from Tour de France stage races, through to local Strava segments.

Performance & Race - TCR

A true performance road bike needs to be a mix of many different attributes - light, aero, comfortable and responsive, and this is what the TCR delivers in its latest iteration. It's our all-round performance model that has a whole host of famous race wins and five-star reviews to its name over three decades of innovation and development.

Offering a lightweight carbon frame, rim or disc brake options and tubeless-ready across the entire range, the TCR is a versatile performer for all levels of road riders.

Endurance Road - Defy

Also known as a ‘sportive’ bike, the Defy is a road bike specifically designed for long days in the saddle. A firm favourite amongst endurance road riders, the Defy has been a staple part of the Giant lineup since its introduction in 2008.

Featuring a lightweight carbon frame and superb climbing ability, the Defy shares similar characteristics to the TCR, just with tweaked geometry for a slightly less aggressive riding position.

Its popularity stems from its plush ride quality, smoothing out roads and letting riders spend more time in the saddle, reducing fatigue. It’s a great option to use over winter as it has clearance for wider tyres, powerful disc brakes and mounts for mudguards, making it a true all year riding companion.

All-Rounder - Contend

The Contend range starts from £625, but don't mistake this all-rounder for an entry-level bike. Taking design inspiration from both the TCR & Defy, the Contend offers a balanced and assured ride for any type of cyclist - from weekend racers, through to daily commuters, the Contend can handle anything you throw at it.

New for 2020 is the Contend AR. With more riders starting to look for paths off the beaten track, the Contend AR is the bike designed for exploring. Featuring frame clearance for up to 38mm tyres, powerful disc brakes and bump-absorbing D-fuse technology, the Contend AR still offers excellent performance on the tarmac, but with the ability to tackle rough roads and paths when the time comes.

Available with a lightweight aluminium frame, the Contend is a great starting point for riders looking to start their road riding adventures.
