The bike is equipped with an SXC32-3 RCL suspension fork, offering 100mm of travel to smooth out bumps and enhance control on rough trails. The Shimano CUES 10-speed drivetrain ensures smooth, reliable shifting and a wide range of gears for tackling different gradients. Hydraulic disc brakes from Tektro provide strong, consistent stopping power in all conditions.
Rolling on Giant GX03V alloy wheels, paired with Maxxis Rekon 2.4" tyres, the Talon 1 delivers excellent grip and stability, making it well-suited for both singletrack and fire roads. The inclusion of a dropper post allows riders to quickly adjust saddle height for better handling on descents and more efficient pedalling on climbs.
