As seen of giants website the talon 2 has 2×9 rear shifter. A review of ANY bike is flawed without mention of weight. A comparison over Talon would have been useful to find out how much giant mountain weight saving would be achieved by spending more money. This review provides no more information than Giant’s own web site. In fact given a previous comment, it suggests inaccuracies.
The main goal of this website is to provide step-by-step cycling related guides, reviews, and how-to’s for different bike types. Talon 1 is the best of the three, with a more convenient 1×10 drivetrain, better SRAM components, wide tires, and a lighter and plusher fork. If you have enough money to spare, you can’t go wrong with it. Select local Retailers offer Home Delivery service on new bicycle purchases.
Don’t need the 3×9 setup as I rarely get out of the 2nd chain ring. I recommend this for anyone who doesn’t have thousands to drop on a bike and is either a beginner or getting back into mtb. Shitty fork, Shitty, transmission, Shitty wheels, the bike can’t handle any format of technical trail giant mountain without something breaking. The Maxxis branded Ardent Race MTB tires impressed us during the test ride. The 27.5”x 2.20” tires were heavily treaded with bulky buttons and covered the edges as well. These tires were fast rolling on flatter surfaces and could handle rough patches with ease.
Fox float 32 does an excellent job soaking up the terrain. This bike climbs like a mountain goat but gets a little squirrelly coming down fast. Likely will replace the bar, stem, and seat post with carbon in time.
I bought one early summer and put about 1300 Kms of mostly trail riding on it. Get a feel for the trail with this all-new aluminium hardtail made for aspiring singletrack riders. Built on a lightweight ALUXX frameset and modern geometry, the Talon range delivers confident XC performance for aspiring trail riders. Tailored for specific ride characteristics, it’s available in different wheel sizes (29 or 27.5) and either an 80mm or 100mm suspension fork. While flashy, expensive mountain bikes get most of the attention, trickle down technology has substantially raised the quality of their entry-level siblings.
