Overview
About this bike
With smooth stability and added balance, this lightweight hardtail 29er puts you in control. Built on a lightweight ALUXX aluminum frame that features classic hardtail design and the added off-road stability of larger diameter 29-inch wheels, Talon is a great choice for XC terrain. The frame geometry is specifically designed for its wheel size and 100mm suspension fork. The result is a confident ride that’s perfect for XC riders looking to increase their speed and improve their skills on fun singletrack rides. - ALUXX-grade butted aluminum frame - SR Suntour XCT HLO 100mm-travel fork with hydraulic lockout - Giant double-wall rims with Maxxis Icon tires - Shimano 3x8-speed drivetrain with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes
