Before this bike my only experience with mountain bikes were worn down yard sale finds and a crap mongoose I once bought so take my words with a grain of salt. Right now this bike does every thing I want. I like the frame and just plan on upgrading parts as they break.
So far I have replaced the seat, pedals, and grips.
Pros Cheap. Frame is nice and the hydraulic brakes are awesome
Cons Everything is a little on the cheap end which is expected at this price point.
decent stock parts, about what you would expect from an entry level bike. If I were to buy a bike in this price range again I might buy something used, rather than a new Talon
Pros good first bike
decent parts on every thing
Cons not a fan of the tektro bikes
heavy
fork is just okay
