Giant Talon 2 Bike

The Giant Talon 2 is the entry hardtail that rides like it's ready for more trail.

This is a capable mountain hardtail for new and progressing riders who want to grow into real singletrack. A step up in gearing and braking over base models, the Talon 2 tackles the foothill trails around the Valley with the kind of control that builds confidence fast. It's the smart choice for a first serious mountain bike.

It's right for you if:

• You're getting into trail riding and want a bike that keeps pace with your progress.

• You're buying for a strong teen ready for a proper mountain bike.

• You want more capability than a base hardtail without a big jump in price.

• You ride paths now but want to hit dirt soon.

Why you'll love it:

• Hydraulic disc brakes give you strong, one-finger stopping so descents feel controlled.

• The suspension fork smooths rough trail, so you stay comfortable and in command.

• Wide-range gearing makes climbs approachable, so you ride farther with less strain.

• Giant's trusted trail geometry keeps handling predictable as you build skill.

The tech you get: a lightweight ALUXX aluminum frame, a suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes, and wide-range gearing on durable mountain wheels.

Highlights

ALUXX Aluminum Frame

A light, proven alloy frameset that climbs without dragging its feet and holds a line when the trail gets rough. This is the hardtail platform serious riders trust to just work.

SXC32 Suspension Fork

Takes the sting out of roots and rock gardens with 80mm or 100mm of coil travel, depending on your size and wheel. You stay in control instead of getting bounced off your line.

1x9 microSHIFT Advent Drivetrain

One shifter, one job. The clutched rear derailleur keeps the chain quiet and planted over chatter, so nothing rattles loose when you point it downhill.

Tektro Hydraulic Disc Brakes

A bigger 180mm rotor up front means strong, predictable stopping power on steep descents. Brake later, ride faster, feel confident doing it.

Maxxis Rekon Tires

Fast-rolling 2.4-inch tread that grips loose dirt and hooks up in corners. Ready to rail the trail straight off the stand.

Wheel-Size-Specific Geometry

Giant builds each size around 27.5 or 29-inch wheels so the handling feels right for you, not just scaled up or down. Come in and Brian will get you on the correct fit.
