The Giant Talon 0 has been carried over from 2021 into 2022 without changes, except price NOW $1299.
It is the top of the line model from the Talon family of hardtail mountain bikes. There are Talon 3 ($579) ,2 ($649), and 1 ($899) in this family of bikes which share the same frame but have different components (fork, cranks, brakes, derailleurs, hubs etc).
The Talon 0 weighs 30.3lbs (29er/size m) which is a respectably light bike in this category - likely at least a pound lighter than bikes with a coil sprung fork.
The fork is built by Giant and has 32mm stanchions, air spring, rebound and lockout adjustments.
Drivetrain is Shimano Deore shadow plus 12 speed with 10-51 cassette.
Brakes are Tektro hydraulic disc with 160mm/180mm rotors.
