I started cycling in fall 2022 and bought the AR3. I really like the bike as a whole espeically the orange metallic finish it came with. I can see myself buying another giant bike like the defy in the near future
Giant endurance geometry is spot on for riders who don’t like an aggressive body position. Claris drivetrain seems a bit low spec at this price point though.
This model is on sale currently at a local shop. The temptation is real.
wow 38mm tyre clearance, disc brakes and got fender+rack mounts and through axels ? sounds like a perfect entry level bike
It makes a great gravel bike. I’m running Shimano GRX 1X with 42mm tires and it’s sub 20 pounds with hunt gravel race aluminum wheels.

I bought this bike yesterday. I love it!!!!
Are you using it strictly for road riding?
@@timothyvanhorn7618 i have taken it on the gravel but primarily for the road.
I have the AR3 and love it
Do you still have it. Thinking of getting the orange one. On sale for 1150

Review Giant contend sl dice with shimano 105 hydraulic brakes 👌🏻
He did a few years ago. Same model that’s on sale today. Great video.
Would this be good for racing and triathlons? Want to get into the sport but don’t want to spend a fortune
No
You push so hard and it goes so slow. (Compared to other cyclist)
Thats a good looking bike. Are those features really crazy?
Eh it's a superlative
@@Jamesthebikeguyah... Big word. Ok. Love your reviews. Always learn something. Thank you
why AR3 is 12kg but AR4 is 10kg, isn't AR3 more expensive and sora is more fancy than claris?
I don't know baby.
Entry level for $1150?
It’s cheap for a roadie
@@pt703 Roadie's are really rich!
Just can't stand the proprietary crap.
