Geometry, every size, from the maker's table
The tinted row is the size drawn beside it. Press a size to draw it.| Size | Stack (mm) | Reach (mm) | Head angle (deg) | Seat angle (deg) | Head tube (mm) | Chainstay (mm) | Wheelbase (mm) | Standover (mm) |

The table runs on to the right: 6 more columns after Reach. Scroll it sideways to read them.
The ML drawn to scale from the table, with no build on it. Stack and reach run from the bottom bracket to the top of the head tube; every size is solved from those two. One square is 100 mm.
The maker's cockpit

How I read the maker's table
Giant UK does not list a 2027 Contend SL (its current UK listing is the 2025 Contend SL Disc, giant-contend-sl-2025.json); Bike Insights showed this 2027 model, and the maker's own Canadian page carries the table, so it is collected from Giant, not from Bike Insights. A new frame: thru-axle disc, 420 mm chainstays (412 on the 2025), and stack, reach, wheelbase and standover printed to one decimal place (for example M stack 557.8, reach 379.8). Six sizes XS, S, M, M/L (table header ML), L, XL. FLAGGED, NOT CHANGED: N Handlebar Width prints XL 420 after L 440 (every other Giant table here widens or holds with size), a probable maker slip; it is stored as printed. Giant does not say whether the seat angle is effective or actual (null), does not publish front centre (null) and does not state the stack datum (null). Stock tyre Giant SR 1 700x28c.
