Affordable Hardtail with Big-Trail Potential
The 2025 Giant Talon 4 is the most accessible model in the Talon lineup, designed for riders new to mountain biking who want dependable trail performance. With its tough alloy frame, essential trail geometry, and balanced component spec, this bike delivers great value without sacrificing confidence or control.
Trail-Ready Geometry and Light Ride Feel
The frame is built from ALUXX-grade aluminum with modern trail geometry to inspire stable handling and rider confidence. Wheel size is matched by frame: XS and S come with 27.5-inch wheels, while M through XXL come with 29-inch wheels. It offers clearance for up to 2.4-inch high-volume tires for added grip and comfort.
Simple, Durable Component Kit
A coil suspension fork delivers 80 mm of travel on smaller sizes and 100 mm on larger ones to absorb bumps and roots up front. The 1×8 microSHIFT Acolyte drivetrain provides intuitive shifting with minimal maintenance, and the mechanics benefit from a clutched rear derailleur for chain security. Tektro mechanical disc brakes offer straightforward stopping power in variable conditions.
Built for Evolving Trail Riders
With internal cable routing, a chainstay protector, dropper post compatibility, and thru-axle rear hubs, the Talon 4 is designed to grow with you. These features keep the frame clean and durable while allowing future upgrades as trail skills improve.
