Giant Talon 29 4 - Radiant Orange - Medium

The mountain bike experience starts here. Built with an all-new ALUXX aluminum frame that’s now lighter and more durable, along with a smooth-riding suspension fork, internal cable routing, and a reliable 1x drivetrain, this aluminum hardtail is everything an aspiring mountain bike rider needs to evolve, advance, and push the pace on the trail.

Key Performance Factors

• Modern MTB Design: Features high-quality trail components including a 1x drivetrain with a clutch-equipped rear derailleur, internal cable routing (with dropper seatpost compatibility), and an integrated chainstay protector to give aspiring trail riders plenty of room to grow.

• Off-Road Control: Brand-new geometry is optimized for confident singletrack riding and utilizes two different wheel sizes (27.5 or 29-inch) depending on the frame size selected. The geometry is tuned around an 80mm or 100mm travel fork to ensure precise, confidence-inspiring handling.

• Light and Durable: The completely redesigned ALUXX aluminum frame features updated structural tube shaping and a lighter overall weight for significantly improved performance and agility on off-road terrain.

Weight Summary

• Bike Weight: The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have us weigh it for you in-store. Bike weights naturally vary based on frame size selection, paint finish coat variances, installed hardware, and final component configurations.

Please Note: We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of the specification information, but components are subject to change by the manufacturer at any time without notice.
