Giant Talon 27.5 2 – Phantom Green
The Giant Talon 27.5 2 – Phantom Green is a capable hardtail mountain bike made for riders who want confident handling on trails without the complexity of a full-suspension bike. Its lightweight ALUXX aluminum frame, front suspension, 27.5-inch wheels, and hydraulic disc brakes create a balanced platform for cross-country riding, recreational trail adventures, and everyday off-road cycling.
The 27.5-inch wheel format gives the bike a lively and responsive feel, making it particularly appealing to riders who prefer quick handling and easy maneuverability. The bike's 2x9 Shimano Altus drivetrain provides a useful range of gears for climbing, rolling terrain, and faster sections of trail.
Finished in Phantom Green, the Talon combines a distinctive color with a practical mountain-bike design.

ALUXX Aluminum Frame
The Talon 27.5 2 is built around Giant's ALUXX-grade aluminum frame.
The frame uses 6061 aluminum construction and a classic hardtail layout. With no rear shock, the frame remains relatively simple and efficient while the front suspension handles impacts from uneven terrain.
Giant also incorporates internal cable routing, giving the bike a cleaner appearance while helping protect cables from dirt and trail debris. The frame is compatible with both 1x and 2x drivetrain configurations.
The lower seatstay junction is designed to provide some additional compliance while helping reduce frame weight.
27.5-Inch Wheels
The 27.5-inch configuration is designed to provide a balance between stability and agility.
Compared with a 29er, the smaller wheel diameter can feel more responsive when navigating tight corners and technical sections. It can also be easier to maneuver for riders who prefer a more compact-feeling mountain bike.
Giant's Talon geometry is specifically adapted to the selected wheel size rather than simply using the same frame dimensions for every wheel format.
SR Suntour XCM30 Suspension Fork
The front suspension uses an SR Suntour XCM30 fork with a quick-release axle and alloy steerer.
For the 27.5-inch configuration, the fork provides 80mm of travel. This gives the front wheel room to absorb smaller bumps, roots, rocks, and uneven sections of trail.
The fork is intended primarily for cross-country and recreational trail riding rather than aggressive downhill riding or large jumps.
Kenda Booster 27.5 x 2.2 Tires
The Talon 27.5 2 is equipped with Kenda Booster 27.5 x 2.2-inch tires.
The 2.2-inch width provides a useful balance between rolling efficiency and off-road grip. The tires are suitable for dirt trails, hard-packed surfaces, gravel paths, and recreational XC riding.
The frame provides clearance for tires up to approximately 2.4 inches, allowing riders some flexibility when selecting replacement tires.
Giant GX03V Wheelset
The bike uses Giant GX03V alloy double-wall rims with a 21mm internal width.
The double-wall construction provides a practical combination of strength and weight for recreational mountain biking.
The wheelset uses sealed-bearing alloy hubs and stainless-steel spokes in the documented specification, providing a durable foundation for regular trail use.
Shimano Altus 2x9-Speed Drivetrain
The Talon 27.5 2 uses a Shimano Altus 2x9-speed drivetrain.
The setup includes:
Shimano Altus M2010 trigger shifters
Shimano Altus M2020 front derailleur
Shimano Altus M2000 rear derailleur
ProWheel forged 22/36T crankset
Shimano Deore HG200 11-32T cassette
KMC X9 chain
The 22T inner chainring provides a low gear for climbing, while the 36T outer chainring provides a higher ratio for faster sections.
The 11-32T cassette complements the double chainring setup and provides a practical range for cross-country terrain.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes
The Talon 27.5 2 is equipped with Tektro HDC M275 hydraulic disc brakes.
The system uses a 180mm front rotor and 160mm rear rotor.
Hydraulic disc brakes provide smooth lever control and consistent braking performance, which is especially useful when descending trails or riding over changing terrain.
The disc-brake system also allows the Talon to use wide mountain-bike tires without relying on a rim-braking surface.
Trail-Oriented Cockpit
The bike uses a Giant Connect Trail handlebar with a 31.8mm clamp diameter.
The wide handlebar gives riders additional steering leverage and control when riding on uneven surfaces. Giant specifies a 730mm bar for the XS 27.5 version and 780mm for the S 27.5 version.
The handlebar is paired with Giant Sole-O grips and a Giant Sport stem with a 7-degree rise.
Dropper-Post Compatibility
The Talon frame uses a 30.9mm seatpost diameter and internal cable routing that supports the installation of a compatible dropper seatpost.
A dropper post allows riders to lower the saddle from the handlebar while riding, providing additional freedom of movement on steeper descents and technical terrain.
A dropper post is not included in the standard Talon 27.5 2 configuration.
Practical Mounting Points
The frame includes integrated mounting points for accessories such as racks, fenders, and a rear kickstand.
This makes the Talon more versatile than a dedicated competition-only mountain bike.
For commuting or utility use, compatible accessories can be added according to the manufacturer's installation and load recommendations.
Frame Sizes
The Talon platform is offered with 27.5-inch wheels in XS and S sizes in the documented configuration.

| Size | Recommended Rider Height |
|---|---|
| XS 27.5 | 155–166 cm |
| S 27.5 | 163–172 cm |
These ranges are guidelines rather than strict requirements. Rider proportions, inseam length, riding style, and personal fit preferences should also be considered.
