2020 Giant Talon 29 1 review

Jan 2020

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. Ribble HT Ti SRAM GX Eagle hardtail review Boardman MHT 8.9 2020 review The best mountain bikes for under £1,000 - the best budget buys ridden and rated The 2020 Talon 29 1 here tops the Talon range. It’s built around a good looking alloy frame and gets an SR Suntour Raidon air fork with 100mm of travel.
