Giant Talon 24 Lite
The Giant Talon 24 Lite turns your kid loose on real dirt without weighing them down.
The Talon 24 Lite is a lightweight youth mountain bike built for riders roughly 8 to 11 who are ready to leave the sidewalk behind. It keeps weight low so young legs cover more ground and climbs feel possible. Point it at the fire roads above the Valley or a lap around the L.A. River path and let them go.
It's right for you if:
Your rider has outgrown a coaster-brake bike and wants gears and trails.
You want a light bike a kid can actually lift, steer, and control.
Weekend rides mean neighborhood streets plus the occasional dirt trail.
You want a name that holds resale value when they size up.
Why you'll love it:
A light ALUXX aluminum frame means faster confidence and less fatigue.
Kid-sized geometry keeps them centered and in control on loose ground.
Simple gearing helps them spin up hills instead of pushing.
Reliable rim brakes give predictable, low-maintenance stopping.
The tech you get: a lightweight ALUXX aluminum frame, 24-inch wheels, a kid-friendly geared drivetrain, and rim brakes tuned for small hands.

Highlights
Built for Young Riders
Kid-specific geometry with a lower bottom bracket and standover puts young riders in control. Confidence comes easy from neighborhood loops to family trail days.
Kid-Sized Cockpit
Narrow 25mm bars and short-reach levers fit small hands so braking and steering feel natural. Shorter cranks keep the pedaling smooth and comfortable.
Lightweight ALUXX Alloy Frame
The 6061 ALUXX aluminum frame is light enough for kids to handle and tough enough for real trail use. Easy to lift, easy to ride, built to take a beating.
Ready-to-Ride Extras
A kickstand, mini-fender and bell come standard, so it's set for the street and the trail out of the box. Fewer add-ons for parents to chase down.
Trail-Ready 24-Inch Wheels
Grippy 24x1.95" Junior Sport tires roll confidently over dirt, grass and pavement. The right wheel size to grow their skills on.
