Great bike. I bought one early summer and put about 1300 Kms of mostly trail riding on it. By trail I mean single track primarily. It was my first 27.5 and took a little to get used to the extra wheel size from my 26", but after a few rides it felt great! Forks absorb pretty good and the disc brakes are a fabulous plus. The 30 speed drivetrain lends itself well to road riding as well. I used it for a couple 60 km rides on roads and found it very comfortable and quite quick for a mountain bike on the road. My only regret was I bought a medium frame and should have bought a large. But that's not the bikes fault! My riding has improved immensely on this bike and I have since moved up to a full suspension carbon fiber bike. My girlfriend is now riding the Talon and loves it too.
Pros Really good entry bike, shifts great and handles really well. Very nimble. Good bang for the buck
Cons Non really that I found. Great bike for the price
