Key Features and Benefits
1. Durable and Lightweight ALUXX-Grade Aluminum Frame
The Talon 29 4 boasts a high-performance ALUXX-grade aluminum frame, ensuring a solid, responsive ride. ALUXX aluminum is known for its lightweight properties without compromising on strength. The geometry of the frame is optimized for 29-inch wheels, offering a stable, smooth, and efficient ride, especially when navigating rough terrain. The lightweight construction provides the right balance of strength and agility, giving you a bike that’s easy to handle while still offering a sturdy platform for aggressive riding.
2. 29-Inch Wheels for Smooth Rolling Over Obstacles
One of the standout features of the Talon 29 4 is its 29-inch wheels. Larger wheels allow for better rolling over obstacles like rocks, roots, and uneven terrain, helping you maintain momentum and stability, particularly on rougher trails. The increased wheel size also provides improved traction and cornering, making it easier to maintain control and maneuver with precision. Whether you’re descending a rocky hill or navigating tight corners, the 29-inch wheels make every trail feel smoother and more forgiving.
3. Front Suspension Fork with 100mm Travel
The SR Suntour XCM suspension fork featured on the Talon 29 4 provides 100mm of travel, absorbing impacts from roots, rocks, and bumps along the trail. This helps to keep your ride smooth and your control precise, even on more challenging terrain. The fork’s air spring and preload adjustability let you customize the ride to suit your specific needs, whether you’re seeking plush comfort or firm support. This suspension fork allows you to ride with more confidence and less fatigue, even on longer rides.
4. Reliable Shimano Drivetrain

Whether you’re looking for efficiency on the flats or need that extra gear for climbing steep inclines, the drivetrain offers consistent performance and reliability.
5. Powerful Braking System
Safety is paramount when riding off-road, and the Talon 29 4 doesn’t skimp on braking power. The bike is equipped with Tektro mechanical disc brakes. These brakes offer excellent stopping power in all weather conditions, whether you’re descending a steep hill or navigating wet or muddy trails. Disc brakes deliver superior performance compared to traditional rim brakes, providing you with greater control, especially in adverse conditions. This added reliability ensures you can confidently take on technical trails, knowing your brakes will perform when you need them most.
6. Comfortable and Efficient Riding Position
The geometry of the Talon 29 4 is designed to keep you comfortable and efficient on the trail. The frame’s design allows for a slightly upright riding position that reduces strain on your back and shoulders during longer rides. The wide handlebars provide improved control, while the slight rise in the stem ensures a comfortable reach, so you can ride for hours without feeling fatigued. Whether you’re riding for fun or fitness, the Talon 29 4 ensures a balanced and enjoyable ride.
7. Versatile and Robust Tires
The Kenda Booster 29×2.2-inch tires provide an excellent balance of grip and rolling efficiency. These tires are designed to handle a wide variety of trail conditions, including loose dirt, gravel, and mud. With the right tread pattern and width, the Talon 29 4’s tires allow for better traction and stability on rough terrain. You’ll have the confidence to ride hard, whether you’re navigating a technical section of singletrack or powering up a steep climb.
