The Talon 29 1 is Giant’s cross countryish, entry-level hardtail that offers a snappy and agile ride at a perfectly budget-friendly price. The spec is good for the money, however the flexy fork and an XC-focused geometry limits the bike to mellower routes.

It’s built around a good looking alloy frame and gets an SR Suntour Raidon air fork with 100mm of travel.
