Expirience with the Giant Talon 4

Giant Talon 4 Review
Ludwig Döhl
In terms of riding in light terrain, the Giant is an absolute banger. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to Giant, at 14,84 kg. Thus, the Racebike von Giant is one of the lighter Racebike that you get for 599 Euro . The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Talon 4. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Talon 4 to in light terrain a buying recommendation in the price range 599 Euro range. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.

Geometry

Je steiler der Winkel des Sitzrohrs ist, desto effizienter können Sie in die Pedale treten.
