Giant Talon 3 + (27.5") 2022

Where it stands

Priced close to what German shops charge for this level of equipment, so it does not clear the margin we require before naming a pick.

The compromises

• 9-speed drivetrain, fewer gears than the 11- and 12-speed groupsets on most mountain bikes.
• Mixed groupset: not every component is Shimano Altus.
• Wheels not identified from the listing, so we scored them level with basic aluminium rather than guess.
• 2022 model year.
