At the top of Giant’s acclaimed Talon range, the Giant Talon 0 delivers next-level performance for trail riders who want more precision, more power, and more capability—without jumping into full suspension. Engineered with a lightweight aluminium hardtail frame and equipped with top-tier components, this is a bike that feels fast, smooth, and ready for serious singletrack.
If you're ready to ride harder, climb stronger, and descend with more control, the Talon 0 gives you everything you need in one sleek, dialled package.
Two Distinctive Colour Options

Fit and Geometry for Every Rider
Like all bikes in the Talon range, the Talon 0 is available in sizes XS through XXL, with wheel size and suspension travel matched to rider height:
- XS and Small frames are paired with 27.5-inch wheels and an 80mm travel air fork for tight handling and quicker manoeuvrability
- Medium to XXL sizes roll on 29-inch wheels with 100mm of travel, giving better rollover performance and stability on rough trails

- SR Suntour SXC32-2 RCL Air Fork – Plush, air-sprung performance with hydraulic lockout and custom tuning
- Shimano Deore M6100 1x11 Drivetrain – Wide-range 10–51T cassette with clutch derailleur for smoother, chain-secure shifting

Why Upgrade to the Talon 0 Over the Talon 1?
As the flagship of the Talon lineup, the Talon 0 offers the most refined ride quality and trail-ready component spec. Here's what sets it apart from the already-capable Talon 1:
- Shimano Deore M6100 1x11 Drivetrain – A major upgrade over the 1x10 CUES setup on the Talon 1, with even smoother shifting, a huge 10–51T gear range, and trail-proven reliability
- SR Suntour SXC32-2 RCL Fork – More advanced than the XC32-3 RCL fork found on the Talon 1, this air-sprung suspension offers better adjustability, rebound control, and trail feedback
- Shimano Sealed Bearing Hubs – Improve rolling efficiency and durability with low-maintenance, high-performance bearings
- Fully Trail-Optimized Build – With a 1x drivetrain, dropper post, and premium suspension, the Talon 0 rides like a far more expensive trail bike
If you're after a hardtail that can handle real trail riding out of the box—and stay relevant as your skills and ambitions grow—the Talon 0 is the one to beat.
