Overview
About this bike
Join the 29er revolution aboard Giant's Talon 29er 1. It all starts with Giant's ALUXX aluminum frame that's tough and durable, yet light and responsive, just what you need for singletrack excursions. Then you get a SunTour fork with 100mm of plush suspension and stiff, precise steering to guide you though the rough stuff. And, the build kit is a solid mix of Shimano and SRAM components with 24 speeds of hill-climbing, easy-pedaling action, and disc brakes for awesome speed control. And, don't forget Giant's 29-inch wheels with Kenda knobbies that roll over anything in your way.
