Talon 29 4 XL Black

The Giant Talon 4 (2027) is built for riders ready to step up from neighborhood paths to real off-road singletrack. Featuring an updated ALUXX-grade aluminum frame, this hardtail delivers a lightweight, durable, and highly responsive ride. Modern progressive trail geometry—complete with a lower top tube for enhanced maneuverability—gives you total control and stability on technical climbs and descents.

Equipped with a 1x8 microSHIFT Acolyte drivetrain featuring a clutch-equipped rear derailleur, chain drops are a thing of the past even over bumpy roots and rocks. Up front, an SR Suntour XCE suspension fork absorbs trail chatter, paired with wide Maxxis Ikon tires on double-wall alloy rims for fast-rolling traction.

Designed to grow with your skills, the frame features a 12x142mm rear thru-axle, internal cable routing, clearance for up to 2.4" tires, and internal routing for a 30.9mm dropper seatpost upgrade.
