Giant Talon 3 2025

Modern MTB Design

Tapered fork steerer tubes*, quality components including a 1x drivetrain* with clutch-equipped rear derailleurs, thru-axle hubs*, internal cable routing (including dropper seatpost) and an integrated chainstay protector give aspiring trail riders room to grow. *on select models

Off-Road Control

New geometry is optimised for confident trail riding and two different wheel sizes (27.5 or 29-inch) depending on frame size and model. The geometry is also designed for front suspension with either an 80mm or 100mm fork depending on frame size and model. All models have clearance for high-volume tyres (up to 2.4-inch) for traction and grip on technical terrain.

Light and Durable

All-new ALUXX aluminium frame features updated shaping and a lighter overall weight for improved performance on off-road terrain.

Highlights

The mountain bike experience starts here. With a redesigned frame that’s now lighter and more durable, along with a smooth-riding suspension fork, thru-axle hubs*, and a 1x drivetrain*, this aluminium hardtail is everything an aspiring MTB rider needs to evolve and advance.

• Weight
  The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
