The mountain bike experience starts here. With a redesigned frame that\u2019s now lighter and more durable, along with a smooth-riding suspension fork, thru-axle hubs*, and a 1x drivetrain*, this aluminium hardtail is everything an aspiring MTB rider needs to evolve and advance. * on select models<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To experience real trail riding at its best, you need a real mountain bike. That\u2019s where the new Talon comes in. This hardtail combines sharp looks and design with true off-road capabilities, all within reach of most riders\u2019 budgets.<\/p>

A lot of entry-level mountain bikes will only get you so far. As your skills progress and you push yourself farther, lower quality bikes can end up letting you down. <\/span>The Talon is designed to grow with you. It\u2019s built on a lightweight, durable ALUXX aluminium frame with geometry that\u2019s optimized for its size-specific wheels and suspension fork.<\/span><\/p>

The smallest Talon frames (XS) are designed for 27.5-inch wheels. Size Small comes in both 27.5 and 29-inch wheel <\/span>options, while Medium, Large, XL and XXL sizes are equipped with 29-inch wheels. The size-specific setup applies to <\/span>the suspension too. XS and Small 27.5-inch frames come with 80mm forks, all others have 100mm forks.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

As a result, all riders\u2014no matter their age, height or experience level\u2014get a bike that\u2019s designed just for them when it comes to confidence, control and performance on the trail. The frame is crafted with a proprietary alloy material that\u2019s 30 percent stiffer than traditional aluminium, and lighter too.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll feel this on every climb. The seat stays and top tube are now in alignment for a more aggressive outlook and consistent style throughout the full size range of frames. And the top tube has a lower sloping design, making Talon easier to maneuver on technical terrain.<\/p>\n

The frame also features internal cable routing, with the derailleur, brake and dropper post cables all routed through integrated ports. This helps saves weight and gives Talon a cleaner look. The components are designed and chosen for off-road performance and durability. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

All models come with durable wheels and tyres, which allow you to run lower tire pressures for increased grip and a reduced risk of punctures.<\/p>

There\u2019s plenty of clearance for wide 2.4-inch tyres to give you better grip and control. Other modern MTB features include a 12x142mm rear thru-axle and a UDH derailleur hanger; a 1.5-inch tapered head tube; and a 30.9mm seat tube diameter for dropper seat posts with internal cable routing. And most models feature 1X drivetrains for optimal shifting performance.<\/p>

It takes more than fat tyres and a flat handlebar to make a mountain bike. Tip-to-tail, the new Talon gives you everything you need to take your trail riding adventures to the next level.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
