Overview
About this bike
You've talked about it forever. Now Giant removes any barriers to getting into the 29er mountain bike world with their Talon 29er 2. You get Giant's lightweight aluminum frame that's tough enough for season after season of trail riding fun. Then you get a 100mm-travel suspension fork to complement those huge wheels that roll over everything on your favorite trails. And this fine machine is equipped with a precision-shifting 24-speed Shimano/SRAM drivetrain to keep you rolling along up the steeps, down the chutes and everything in between. Plus, there are powerful mechanical-disc brakes to stop you in the mud, snow, rain, you name it. And you'll also love the quality Giant bars, stem, seat and post.
