Couldn’t agree more! Recently bought a Talon 29er to replace a Trek Marlin 5. Giant is a far superior product in every way. Finish on the product is first class. Trek paint would chip at the slightest hint of gravel. Everything works exactly as it should, and the service from Tredz was first class.
I do agree with that. My 2022 talon 3 upgraded to a 1x12 Shimano Deore GS, 2.25 Maxxis Ardent Exo TR tires and a 120mm airfork from SR Suntour makes it a bliss to ride in both xc trails and on the road. As a modest trail rider this is for me the best value for money bike.
Just bought my Giant Talon! Incredible! At my local bike shop they gave me 2 bikes to take out on a test drive!. Trek. Marlin #4 and then the Giant! After riding these 2 bikes I said to the sales rep plus the owner : " All due respect to you guys what your selling here but the Trek feels like a toy compared to the Giant! Write me up! 😊
So I’m 6 foot and was gifted a giant talon 3 but it is a xs with the 27.5s on it I have been riding it and at a dirt pump track with jumps and am looking for some down hill trails but have really been wondering what the bigger sizes would be like and how much of a difference it makes because hearing it’s for people under 5 foot shocked me
I have a 2016 talon 4 and I’d put it up against anything in its class today. Hydraulic disc brakes, locking fork, tubeless tires, 27.5’s on the feet, etc…
Hi. I bought my Giant Talon 5 a few months ago, and I love it. The one thing I am sad about is the forks, they are mentioned to be 100mm of travel, but the furthest I have gotten is 40mm. Please can someone let me know what I’m doing wrong? The reload is on the lowest too so I’m not sure what wrong.

Glad to hear! Enjoy your lovely new Talon!

Currently looking between trek marlin and a talon. I’m definitely leaning towards the giant

Howdy. Do you think you can help me figure out which model of Giant Talon I have? Nothing is written anymore. Thank you

I’m slightly new to the hole gearing what would be a good option for a beginner that uses the bike both for road and off-road and small inclines?
When will they do tapered head tubes on the talon?
