Expirience with the Giant TALON 3

Ludwig Döhl Do you want to ride your bike on sporty excursions? So does the Giant Hardtail. The moderate 67,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. When it comes to the seating position, Giant chooses the middle ground between sporty and comfortable. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range on sporty excursions, the Giant Racebike is one of the best models in the on sporty excursions category. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
