MODEL AND SIZING GUIDE
Giant Talon: where to start with sizing
A useful mountain-bike starting point where wheel options and older years need careful matching.

Identify the bike first
Check the Talon model, documented year and wheel diameter. Do not apply a 29-inch-wheel listing to another option without checking the source.
If the year is unknown, look for the model name, size sticker, wheel label and distinctive frame or brake details. Compare them to the source listing. Photographs can narrow a search; they cannot prove identity on their own. Leave the chart unconfirmed until its generation and wheel option match.
What our catalogue holds
34 entries: 13 with published body ranges and 21 with size labels only. Documented model or catalogue years represented: 2027, 2025, 2024, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015. This is catalogue coverage, not a list of bikes currently in stock or every generation ever made.
Below are up to three entries with their own source information. Search the full catalogue for other variants and years. A source-check date is not a manufacture date, and the current source may have changed since that check.

Before choosing a size
Check standing clearance and control as well as seated comfort. If a dropper is fitted, verify its travel and insertion limits on the actual frame.
Measure height and inside leg twice, barefoot. Where both are published, keep each height and inside-leg pair together. Keep all overlapping sizes for comparison. If the measurements conflict, sit outside the chart or depend on an open-ended band, seek individual advice rather than extrapolating.
Frame stack and reach, when available, describe the frame and not the final hand position. A chart cannot account for every body proportion, component change or riding goal. Check the actual bike’s adjustment limits and arrange a try-out where possible.
