This is a 2016 Giant Talon 4. I purchased it used for $500 and have done upgrades over time.
My first major upgrade was switching out the fork from the Suntour XCM 100mm to a Rockshox TK Silver 30 coil fork.. The fork is basic and has lockout and basic compression damping, enough for the XC trails I ride.
The bars and stem are stock, 690mm with a 100mm stem (I’m planning on switching them out for longer bars and a shorter stem).Â
Brakes are Tektro Auriga hydraulics with 160mm rotors.
The bike was a 3X8 but I upgraded it to a 3X9. Rear derailleur is an Acera Shadow 9 speed. I have an 11-36T cassette.
Rims are standard Giant. Tires are Serfas Krest 27.5 X 3.
