Good review, Clint! I stand 5'8" and when I first tried this similar bike (but M size frame), I didn't feel good as I used to on a 26er and 29er. The solutions I later came up was to change its long stem to a very short one, and replace its handlebar with a narrower one. Now the bike feels great on- and off-roads!

I'm looking at the Giant Talon 3. Is that better than the 5? Biggest problem is that I'm really tall and need XL frame and the Giant one does not come with 29 size tires, which is the only reason I am considering the Diamondback Overdrive Sport. Really confused.
-
can you simply put 27.5 wheels on a 29er?

Looking at getting the Talon 27.5 4, very similar except for coming stock with Shimano derailleurs and hydraulic brakes front and rear for $600 USD or $699 CDN. Took it for a little test ride the other day, seemed very well built for the price. I will probably go down to the local Giant dealer and pick one up later this week.Thanks for the review it was very helpful.

that looks a lot like the Giant Rincon 26er hardtail i used to have

One of our best selling bikes at work is the Talon 4. I've built so many of them and basically know them inside and out and I will say, it's a bombproof bike
-
Definitely the most in depth review on the Talon bike I've seen, which is awesome! I ordered the Talon 4 on Tuesday and I can't wait to ride it!

hey clint, my friend got my specialized hard rock stolen do you the Talon 27.5 is a good replacement for what i used to have or should i look into something else?
Thank you -
Great review! I bought a chineese brand mtb but with all the whistles (aluminium, disk brakes, shimano gear, fork suspension with lock, etc) is more an entry level bike but that let´s me upgrade it. Good so far to begin in mtb

I have a Giant Talon 27.5.5 and was considering trying to find some light weight wheels to run with tubed tyres to get more speed on tracks and trails. Do you think it would be a worthwhile execise and if so what brand would you recommend? I find your channel really interesting and informative. I am from Northamptonshire, England. Des Peasland.

Hi sir clint. I love your videos very informative. Can this bike be fitted with 2.4 width tires? Like the maxxis ardent 27.5 x 2.4. I have the talon 1 2016 with s-xc 2 rims. Thanks

thanks for the video, as I'm looking to shift from BMX to MTB, so I guess Talon is the one, cheers (greeting from UAE, Dubai)

I enjoy watching all your videos as I am new to your channel. I am glad you like this bike as I have the same model. However mine does come with hydraulic brakes and in the UK it cost me £475 a year ago. I will continue to watch your videos as you make them. Many thanks.

exact frame size in inches please, thanks!

what if everything you where talking about the handle was because it was a small size?
