When using the bike for on long tours, the Giant Talon 3+ with its 100 mm on the fork is totally spot on. With 13,1 kg weight for the complete bike, the Giant Hardtail joins the lighter bikes that you can buy for under under 800 Euro. Most bikes in its class are heavier. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. The balanced seating position is likely to suite the taste of the majority of bikers. On climbs, the Giant lets you sweat. Other bikes 749 Euro climb better. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range on long tours, the Giant Hardtail is one of the best models in the on long tours category. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Giant is behind its products.
