If you're looking for a bike that can do all for your Edmonton River Valley adventures - the Talon is a great bike to start your search with. 

The mountain bike experience starts with the new Talon. With a redesigned frame that’s now lighter and more durable, along with a smooth-riding suspension fork, thru-axle hubs*, and a 1x drivetrain*, this aluminum hardtail is everything an aspiring MTB rider needs to evolve and advance. *on select models

Key Performance Factors

Modern MTB Design
Tapered fork steerer tubes*, quality components including a 1x drivetrain* with clutch-equipped rear derailleurs, thru-axle hubs*, internal cable routing (including dropper seatpost) and an integrated chainstay protector give aspiring trail riders room to grow. *on select models

Off-Road Control
New geometry is optimized for confident trail riding and two different wheel sizes (27.5 or 29-inch) depending on frame size. The geometry is also designed for front suspension with either an 80mm or 100mm fork depending on frame size. All models have clearance for high-volume tires (up to 2.4-inch) for traction and grip on technical terrain.

Light and Durable
All-new ALUXX aluminum frame features updated shaping and a lighter overall weight for improved performance on off-road terrain.
