Giant Talon E+ 1 2015 - Electric Bike
The Giant Talon E+ 1 is a rugged hardtail with a boost. With this advanced pedal assist electric bike you can ride further, faster and easier - even up the steepest climbs, ready for tearing down a trail centre.
This is not just trail ready though, the e-motor is great for commuting - get to work without being hot and sweaty. In fact, any leisure riding is good on this machine.

Frame & Fork
Even with the weight of the electronic system (motor, controller, and battery) the frame is still light, stiff and strong thanks to ALUXX aluminium. So, your ride is agile, lively and fun...and well balanced. The battery pack is located on the down tube to lower the centre of gravity for improved stability.
An SR Suntour XCR HLO fork with 100mm is capable and will smooth out more rugged terrain. It?s everything you need for all-round mountain bike use. The tapered steerer adds extra stiffness up front and improved steering precision for those trickier sections.
Hydraulic lockout is a welcomed feature working with the electronic assistance perfectly. Instead of that energy sapping and inefficient pedal bob sensation, you can lock the sus in place to fly up hills.
Components
This Giant is well spec?d too with Shimano components. A Deore rear mech (Acera front) provide crisp and reliable performance. Shimano M355 hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors are powerful. No matter the conditions you?ll stop confidently and reliably every time. Not just ideal for off-roading, this system is great whilst commuting and riding in urban areas.
Giant?s own CR70 rims with double wall are sturdy for daily use and keep you rolling smoothly.
Hybrid Technology
Giant claim you can reach distances of 20 - 25 miles (depending on use) with their pedal assist system. This is long compared to other e-bikes. The harder you pedal, the more power is sent to the SyncDrive R motor.
You can optimise how much power you want as well, by choosing one of the three options on the handlebar control centre - economy, normal and sport.
The rear hub motor produces a lot of torque so you can climb with ease.

What is a Hybrid Classic Bike?
A bike primarily designed for leisure use which is a cross between a road bike and a mountain bike. It has 700c wheels (same diameter as road) but with wider, treaded tyres which can cope with a small amount of non tarmac riding. Can be supplied with either a rigid or suspension front fork for added comfort and are sometimes supplied with mudguards and carrier racks as standard ideal for short commutes or popping to the local shop. For more information on hybrid bikes see our Hybrid Bikes Buying Guide.
