Description
Dominate the Trail with the Giant Talon 1
The Giant Talon 1 represents the pinnacle of the Talon family, offering high-end features usually reserved for much more expensive race bikes. Designed with a focus on efficiency and control, this hardtail is perfect for conquering technical climbs and flowing singletrack with confidence.
Premium Air-Sprung Suspension
Unlike lower-tier models, the Talon 1 features the SXC32-2 RL Air Fork. Using air pressure instead of a heavy steel coil allows you to tune the suspension perfectly to your body weight. This results in a much more responsive front end that soaks up bumps while keeping the bike lightweight and agile.
The All-New Shimano CUES Drivetrain
Giant has equipped the Talon 1 with the revolutionary Shimano CUES 1×10 drivetrain. Built with LinkGlide technology, CUES offers three times the durability of standard drivetrains and incredibly smooth shifting under load. The 11-48t cassette ensures you have the range to crawl up the steepest hills, while the clutch-equipped derailleur keeps your chain silent and secure.
Advanced Frame & Wheel Technology
The ALUXX-grade aluminium frame is now updated with thru-axle technology (15x110mm front / 12x142mm rear), providing a stiffer, more precise connection between the wheels and the frame. Paired with high-volume 2.4″ Maxxis tyres, you get unparalleled grip and a “damped” feel that smooths out trail chatter.
Key Features:
- SXC32-2 RL Air Fork: Lightweight, adjustable suspension with remote lockout.
- Shimano CUES LG400: The latest in durable, high-performance 10-speed shifting.
- Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Tektro HDC M275 brakes provide consistent stopping power in wet and muddy conditions.
- Boost Hub Spacing: Thru-axles front and rear for improved wheel stiffness and handling.
- Internal Cable Routing: Clean aesthetics and reduced maintenance.
- Dropper Post Ready: Standard 30.9mm seat tube for easy future upgrades.
The Ultimate UK Trail Hardtail
The Giant Talon 1 is more than just an entry-level bike; it’s a genuine trail performer. Whether you’re entering your first XC race or exploring local bridleways, its modern geometry and robust componentry make it the best-value hardtail in the Giant lineup.
