Expirience with the Giant TALON 0

Ludwig Döhl When using it as on long tours, the Racebike of Giant really shows its full potential. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. A good argument for the Giant Racebike: Such a successful geometry is usually only available if you have deep pockets. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
