Expirience with the Giant Talon 0

Ludwig Döhl When it comes to riding on sporty excursions, the Giant Talon 0 feels really good. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 13,87 kg of the Giant Talon 0 counts towards the lighter Racebike that you get for under under 1000 Euro. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Giant suite the taste of most bikers. All in all, in the on sporty excursions category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
