Giant Talon 29 2 (Dried Matcha)
1095009325
An entry-level hardtail mountain bike for riders starting their trail journey, with a lightweight ALUXX aluminium frame and a simple, single-chainring drivetrain that's easy to learn on.
Overview
The Talon 29 2 is built on a redesigned ALUXX aluminium frame that's lighter and more durable than before, with updated shaping aimed at confident trail riding straight out of the box. A coil-sprung suspension fork smooths out the front end, while clearance for high-volume tyres up to 2.4 inches adds traction and grip on technical terrain.
A MicroSHIFT Advent 1x9-speed drivetrain keeps shifting simple and easy to learn, which makes this a sensible first real mountain bike rather than a bike that overwhelms a new rider with options. The frame's geometry is tuned for front suspension, giving a composed, confident feel as trails get rougher.
It's built for a rider taking their first steps into mountain biking, who wants a genuinely capable aluminium hardtail without the complexity of a wider-range drivetrain.

Who Is It For?
The Talon 29 2 suits a rider who's brand new to mountain biking and wants a straightforward, easy-to-understand bike to learn the basics on. It's a sensible first choice for exploring local trails, parks, and dirt paths just outside most Indian cities.
It also works well as a durable, low-maintenance bike for a rider who wants occasional off-road capability without needing a wide-range drivetrain or premium components.
