GIANT TALON 3 (5TH GEN)

With an all-new ALUXX aluminum frame featuring updated tubing shapes and lighter overall weight, this hardtail delivers smooth, confident handling on off-road terrain. Optimized for either 29-inch or 27.5-inch wheels depending on the frame size, and a smooth-operating front suspension fork with either 100mm or 80mm of travel, it’s a great choice for aspiring mountain bikers.
