    Summary

    Expirience with the Giant Talon 2

    Giant Talon 2 Review You prefer your bike to be used as a on sporty excursions? Then the Racebike von Giant and you could really hit it off. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to Giant, at 13,6 kg. Thus, the Giant Hardtail is one of the lighter Racebike that you get for 899 Euro . The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Giant Hardtail wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. An argument still remains extremely strong: compared to the competitors in the same price segment, Giant spec significantly better brakes. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Giant sets the bar high!
