The Giant Talon 2 is where most riders should start if they want a real mountain bike—not a department store compromise. This is a proper aluminum hardtail built for trail riding, rail trails, and learning real off-road skills with components that are serviceable, upgradeable, and designed to last.

Giant redesigned the Talon platform with updated geometry, internal cable routing, and modern MTB standards that make it easier to control on trails while still being efficient enough for everyday riding. This is a bike that can grow with the rider instead of needing to be replaced immediately.

Key Functional Details

  • ALUXX aluminum hardtail frame
  • Front suspension fork (80–100mm travel depending on size)
  • 1x drivetrain for simplified shifting
  • Internal cable routing including dropper compatibility
  • Modern trail geometry for improved control
  • Clearance for up to 2.4" tires
  • Available in 27.5" or 29" wheel sizes depending on frame size
  • Strong entry point into real trail riding

Technical Specifications

Frame: Giant ALUXX Aluminum Hardtail

Fork: Suspension Fork (80–100mm Travel depending on size)

Drivetrain: 1x System (varies by spec)

Rear Derailleur: Clutch-equipped (model dependent)

Wheels: 27.5" or 29" depending on frame size

Tire Clearance: Up to 2.4"

Cable Routing: Internal (dropper-ready)

Frame Material: ALUXX Aluminum

Compatibility & Technical Notes

Good Fit: new mountain bikers, trail beginners, fitness riders, and riders transitioning from pavement to dirt.

Not A Fit: aggressive downhill riding, high-end trail riding, or riders expecting premium suspension performance out of the box.

Wheel size varies by frame size. Smaller frames use 27.5” wheels for better handling, while larger frames use 29” wheels for improved rollover and stability.

Service / Ownership Context

This is a bike we can actually service long term. That matters. Many entry-level bikes cut corners with non-standard parts that make repairs frustrating or not worth doing. The Talon platform avoids that.

It is also one of the best upgrade platforms. Riders can add a dropper post, upgrade tires, or improve drivetrain performance over time without replacing the entire bike.

Fit & Use Signals

Best for:

  • Beginner trail riding
  • Rail trails and mixed terrain
  • Fitness riding
  • Riders entering mountain biking
  • Commuting with off-road capability

Not ideal for:

  • Technical downhill riding
  • Advanced trail riders needing high-end suspension
  • Bike park riding
  • Riders looking for a lightweight race bike
The biggest mistake customers make here is comparing this to department store bikes. This is a real mountain bike with serviceable components and upgrade potential. Another common mistake is expecting high-end suspension performance at this price point. The fork is built for control and comfort, not aggressive terrain at speed. The Talon 2 is one of the best "first real bikes" because it does not limit future upgrades. Riders can add a dropper post, upgrade tires, or even improve the drivetrain over time. Typical customer searches: best beginner mountain bike under 1000 hardtail mountain bike for trail riding Giant Talon 2 vs Talon 1 entry level MTB that is worth upgrading Often replacing: department store mountain bikes older hardtails with outdated geometry hybrid bikes not suited for trails Recommended shop pairings: helmet and safety setup tubeless tire conversion pedal upgrade basic MTB setup and fit adjustment Customers comparing this often also look at: Trek Marlin 6 Specialized Rockhopper Cannondale Trail SE Marin Bobcat Trail Co-op DRT 1.2

Great product for sensitive skin
Style: Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream
I have sensitive skin that is constantly getting irritated by moisturizers/seemingly simple skin care products. I read a few blogs/articles/reviews on different products others have tried for similar issues and this one came up, so I decided to give it a try. It’s nice and light and goes on smoothly. Skin feels moisturized and does not get irritated, so that’s a win! The only reason I took off 1 star is it leaves my skin a bit oily for my liking, but that could just be my skin.

LOVE
Style: Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream
I have extremely sensitive skin and this stuff is AMAZING. After being in sun, facial, stripped skin from treatments or products it’s super calming.

Holy Grail Moisturizer for Rosacea
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-3.3 Fl Oz
In seeing so many negative reviews I felt compelled to weigh in as this is my favorite moisturizer. I have very dry, menopausal skin. Additionally, I have rosacea which seems to have been a nice gift from said menopause (you can only laugh, right?). It's very common for those of us in our 50's to have a compromised skin barrier and when an issue like rosacea is present, even more so. Because of all this my skin is very intolerant to most moisturizers and nearly all actives (over the last few years I've had to discontinue my retinols and chemical exfoliators). While ingredients like ALA's, petrolatum, mineral oil, parafin/bees wax, and lanolin are well tolerated and known to be quite soothing, they don't hydrate very well as they are more occlusive than moisturizing. Enter this product. Magically, it does both! It's marketed as a protective cream, which again implies occlusive, but it penetrates like no other. Gone is the tight, dry feeling that persisted even when I had a heavy layer of product on my skin (my previous moisturizer was Eucerin Original Healing Cream -- which still has its uses -- because it was the only thing I could put on my skin outside of squalane oil during a flare). Now, no topical can cure rosacea. However, the right product can calm the skin, repair the damaged lipid barrier, and improve its appearance. This moisturizer does just that and it's become my holy grail. Since starting this I've also added in the Cicalfate Serum which has only aided in repairing my skin. Another Avene product that works great for me is the XeraCalm Balm which helps with itching. I use all three of these daily and they've really helped fix the secondary issues that come with rosacea. As for the complaints about it being greasy or too heavy. I can see this not working for people with normal or oily skin (or perhaps only in moderation). But my skin loves the heavier weight and because one of the ways I soothe a flare is to keep a tiny mister bottle on hand and repeatedly spray my face so I have to guard against the drying effects of evaporation. These products are so lipid heavy that I can wet my face all day long without worrying about that, though I do reapply throughout the day. As for the watery consistency issue, I haven't had that problem but it does caution on the packaging not to expose the product to temperatures below 41 degrees F (5 C). I suspect that if it gets too cold either because of the weather or because of whatever warehouse it sat in during transit it will separate. Maybe open the package and before squeezing some out look to see if it has split and then shake it up/message the tube. So, if you have skin like mine don't hesitate to try this product. I'm leaving this absurdly long review for my struggling brothers and sisters out there with rosacea in hopes that it provides some relief! Happy moisturizing, internet strangers. ;)

Possible solution to seperation
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-1.3 Fl Oz
I love this product so much, but, like everyone else the water HEAVILY separated. A lot of water just shot out immediately and as i've used the cream it has felt more and more thick bc of that, shaking the tube or not. POSSIBLE SOLUTION: I actually think the company could salvage this problem by upgrading packaging to a Cosmetic JAR and then customers could take a toothpick and stir if separation has occurred by the time of purchase. I hope to try this with my next tube, just toothpaste squeezed everything out into a nice cosmetic jar and stir the water back into the product. This is such a simple solution that could really solve the product waste. This refreshes my skin, doesn't break me out, and is lovely. I break out so easily, and being middle aged my skin really requires a dense help with moisture. <3
