Giant Talon 3 Mountain Bike 2025 - Hardtail MTB
Dealing with Tredz was very easy. I had a corner issue which meant the bike was delayed by a couple of weeks, but this was not Tredz fault and the courier took full responsibility. Communication from Tredz throughout the resolution was top notch and the bike itself is perfect and exactly what I hoped it would be.
