Experience real trail riding at its best. That’s where the new Talon comes in. This hardtail combines sharp looks and design with true off-road capabilities, all within reach of most riders’ budgets.
A lot of entry-level mountain bikes will only get you so far. As your skills progress and you push yourself farther, lower quality bikes can end up letting you down.
The Talon is designed to grow with you. It’s built on a lightweight, durable ALUXX aluminum frame with geometry that’s optimized for its size-specific wheels and suspension fork.
