Giant Talon 0

GET A FEEL FOR THE TRAIL WITH THIS CLASSIC HARDTAIL MADE FOR ASPIRING SINGLETRACK RIDERS. IT FEATURES LARGER DIAMETER 29-INCH WHEELS THAT GIVE IT ADDED STABILITY ON XC TERRAIN—SO YOU CAN PUSH THE PACE ON CLIMBS AND LET LOOSE ON THE DESCENTS.

Built on a new lightweight ALUXX aluminum frame that features classic hardtail design plus the balanced riding characteristics of either larger diameter 29-inch or 27.5-inch wheels, Talon is a great choice for XC or light trail terrain. The frame geometry is specifically designed to adapt to its respective wheel size and either an 80mm or 100mm suspension fork (depending on frame size). It’s a confident ride that’s perfect for ambitious riders who want to take their off-road skills to the next level.

KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS

Proven alloy performance – ALUXX aluminum frameset is hand-built in-house by the world leader in aluminum engineering.

Balance and stability – Frame geometry is designed to optimize the balance and roll-over capabilities of 29-inch wheels or the liveliness of 27.5-inch wheels (depending on frame size).

XC control – Suspension fork offers either 80mm or 100mm of smooth travel for added XC control.

Giant XTC 27.5 0 Team

There's nothing like the feeling of riding a classic hardtail, except this – trusted XtC design updated for bang up to date 27.5 wheels. Race it, win it, love it.

With its ALUXX SL frameset and 27.5 geometry, the XtC 27.5 blends quickness and control. The proprietary ALUXX SL alloy from Giant's own forging facilities is stiffer and lighter than 6061-series aluminum, while PowerCore – a massively oversized bottom bracket/chainstay area with fully integrated 86mm BB and asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside for unprecedented pedalling stiffness.
