Discover New Trails. Build Your Confidence.

The Giant Talon 2 2025 in Asphalt Green is a versatile aluminium hardtail for riders ready to explore beyond the pavement. With a suspension fork, microSHIFT Advent 1×9 gearing and hydraulic disc brakes, it combines straightforward operation with useful off-road capability. Modern geometry and a choice of wheel sizes provide a comfortable foundation for fitness rides, dirt paths and developing your mountain biking skills.

A Lightweight Frame Built for Adventure

The Giant Talon 2 features an ALUXX-grade aluminium frame that balances durability with a responsive ride feel. Updated tube shaping and modern mountain bike geometry help you pedal efficiently while staying composed on uneven ground. Internal cable routing keeps the frame looking tidy, and integrated chainstay protection helps reduce noise and protect the finish when the chain moves over bumps. It is a practical platform for regular riding and steady progression.

Suspension for Rougher Routes

The SXC32-3 RL coil-spring suspension fork helps the Giant Talon 2 soften bumps and maintain front-wheel control on rough paths. The listed 29-inch build features 100mm of travel and a Boost 15x110mm front thru-axle. A 12x142mm rear thru-axle adds a secure rear-wheel connection, helping you feel composed as you practise cornering, braking and navigating uneven terrain.

Simple Gearing with a Wide Range

The microSHIFT Advent drivetrain uses a single front chainring and nine rear gears, keeping shifting easy to manage. A wide-range 11–46T cassette provides useful climbing gears alongside ratios for flatter sections. The clutch-equipped M6195M rear derailleur helps control chain movement on bumpy ground. With one shifter to operate, the Giant Talon 2 lets you focus on your line and adjust your pedalling effort as the terrain changes.

Hydraulic Brakes for Controlled Stopping

Tektro TKD143 hydraulic disc brakes provide responsive stopping power, with a 180mm front rotor and 160mm rear rotor. Their controlled feel helps you manage speed on descents and approaching corners. Combined with the flat handlebar and Giant Sole-O grips, the Giant Talon 2 gives you familiar, accessible controls for everyday riding and off-road exploring.

Wheel Sizes to Suit Your Fit

The Giant Talon 2 range offers 27.5-inch wheels in XS and Small, with 29-inch options from Small through Extra Large. Smaller wheels offer nimble handling, while larger wheels help maintain momentum over uneven surfaces. Our team can help you choose a frame and wheel combination that suits your proportions, riding preferences and the routes you plan to explore.

Grippy Tyres and Durable Wheels

The detailed 29-inch build features Giant GX03V double-wall alloy rims and Maxxis Rekon Race 29×2.4-inch tyres. These generous tyres provide a useful combination of traction and comfort on dirt, while sealed-bearing hubs support regular riding. The Giant Talon 2 comes with a conventional inner-tube wheel and tyre setup, making it straightforward to maintain for recreational rides and local adventures.

Comfortable Contact Points and Room to Progress

A Giant ErgoContact Trail saddle, Connect Trail handlebar and MTB flat pedals provide familiar contact points for everyday riding. The Giant Talon 2 comes with a conventional Giant Sport seatpost. Its 30.9mm seatpost diameter and internal dropper-post routing provide an upgrade option if your riding develops towards more demanding terrain. Size-specific stem lengths help create a balanced riding position across the range.

More Ways to Enjoy Your Riding

The hardtail design gives the Giant Talon 2 an efficient feel on connecting roads and smoother paths, while the suspension and mountain bike tyres add comfort when the surface changes. Head out for a quick fitness loop, enjoy a family ride or spend the weekend discovering local dirt tracks. The Asphalt Green finish completes a versatile bike designed to encourage more time outdoors.
