The mountain bike experience starts here.

With a redesigned frame that’s now lighter and more durable, along with a smooth-riding suspension fork, thru-axle hubs*, and a 1x drivetrain*, this aluminium hardtail is everything an aspiring MTB rider needs to evolve and advance. 

To experience real trail riding at its best, you need a real mountain bike. That’s where the new Talon comes in. This hardtail combines sharp looks and design with true off-road capabilities, all within reach of most riders’ budgets.  A lot of entry-level mountain bikes will only get you so far. As your skills progress and you push yourself farther,  lower quality bikes can end up letting you down. The Talon is designed to grow with you. It’s built on a lightweight, durable ALUXX aluminium frame with geometry that’s optimised for its size-specific wheels and suspension fork. Tip-to-tail, the new Talon gives you everything you need to take your trail riding adventures to the next level. 

Performance Factors: 

Modern MTB Design

Tapered fork steerer tubes, quality components including a 1x drivetrain with clutch-equipped rear derailleurs, thru-axle hubs, internal cable routing (including dropper seatpost) and an integrated chainstay protector give aspiring trail riders room to grow.

Off-Road Control

New geometry is optimized for confident trail riding and two different wheel sizes (27.5 or 29-inch) depending on frame size. The geometry is also designed for front suspension with either an 80mm or 100mm fork depending on frame size. All models have clearance for high-volume tyres (up to 2.4-inch) for traction and grip on technical terrain.

Light And Durable

All-new ALUXX aluminium frame features updated shaping and a lighter overall weight for improved performance on off-road terrain.

Product Features:

  • Aluxx Aluminium - Formed from raw material in Giant’s own forging facility, this proprietary alloy is 30 percent stiffer than traditional 6061-series aluminium, while reducing overall weight.
  • Internal Cable Routing - Derailleur, brake and dropper post cables are routed internally through integrated ports. This helps saves weight and creates a cleaner look and performance.
  • Dropper Post Compatible - 30.9mm seat tube diameter and clean internal cable routing allow for easy dropper seatpost upgrade.
  • Aligned Seatstay Junction - The rear triangle is designed with seatstays that join the seat tube at the same point as the top tube, forming a unified connection. This clever alignment helps improve rear end stiffness while reducing overall frame weight, leading to a more efficient, lighter ride.
  • 1X and 2X Compatible - Frame is designed to work with either a single chainring or double chainring crankset. For 2x setups, either a side-swing or down-swing front derailleur can be used.
  • Integrated Mounts Mounts on the seatstays and chainstays make it easy to accessorize with racks, fenders or a KSA 18 kickstand. 
  • Tapered Head Tube - The 1.5-inch tapered head tube provides ride stability, especially over rough terrain and tight trail conditions.
  • Thru Axle with UDH Hanger - Lock in that rock-solid feel with the durable 12x142mm thru-axle, paired with a UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) for smooth shifting and added durability. 
  • Chainstay Protection - An all-new chainstay protector features an integrated design with fixed cable routing, absorbing chain slap to reduce noise and protect your bike’s frame and finish from damage when encountering rough terrain. 

*Check individual models for exact specifications*

****NOTE: This bike is available for purchase online, but must be picked up from an approved store.
