Giant Talon 0

Description

Master the Trails with the Flagship Giant Talon 0

The Giant Talon 0 sits at the top of the legendary Talon family, offering a high-performance build that bridges the gap between recreational riding and serious cross-country adventure. With its upgraded air suspension, precision shifting, and modern geometry, it’s the definitive choice for trail progression.

Shimano Deore 1×12 Drivetrain

For 2025, the Talon 0 is equipped with the industry-standard Shimano Deore M6100 1×12 drivetrain. This setup provides an ultra-wide 10-51T gear range, allowing you to find the perfect cadence for wall-like climbs and fast descents. The clutch-equipped rear derailleur ensures silent operation and maximum chain security, even on the roughest technical sections.

Adjustable Air Suspension & Dropper Post

A standout feature of the Talon 0 is the SXC32-2 RCL Air Fork. By using an air spring rather than a traditional coil, the suspension can be tuned precisely to the rider’s weight for a supple, responsive feel. To further enhance your control, the 2025 model comes standard with a Giant Contact Switch dropper post, letting you lower your saddle on the fly for increased stability during steep descents.

Advanced ALUXX Frame & Thru-Axles

The redesigned ALUXX-grade aluminium frame features updated shaping for weight savings and improved durability. It now incorporates thru-axle technology (15x110mm front / 12x142mm rear) paired with a UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger). This provides a rock-solid connection that improves steering precision and simplifies future maintenance.

Key Features:

Shimano Deore 1×12: Pro-level shifting with a massive gear range for any terrain.
Air-Sprung Fork: Fully adjustable suspension for a lightweight and plush ride.
Integrated Dropper Post: Switch between climbing and descending positions instantly.
Shimano Hydraulic Brakes: Powerful BR-MT200 brakes for consistent stopping in all weather.
Maxxis Rekon Tyres: High-volume 2.4-inch tyres for maximum grip and comfort.
Thru-Axle Hubs: Improved frame stiffness and wheel alignment.

Why Choose the Talon 0?

If you want one bike that can do it all—from weekend trail centre trips to local XC loops—the Giant Talon 0 is the answer. It packs “pro” features like 12-speed gearing and air suspension into a package that represents incredible value for UK riders.
