Giant Talon 2

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 aluminum hardtail is everything an aspiring MTB rider needs to evolve and advance. *on select models

FEATURES:

• 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. *on select models
• 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 tires (up to 2.4-inch) for traction and grip on technical terrain.
• Light and Durable: All-new ALUXX aluminum frame features updated shaping and a lighter overall weight for improved performance on off-road terrain.
