Giant Talon 2.5

[Kevoffthetee]

Has anyone had a talon 2.5 and how did they like it? There is one available at £150 and supposedly in good nick but according to reviews the forks let the bike down.

Is this a real issue to someone not throwing themselves down hills?

Depends what the forks are. If they are an SR Suntour or equivalent, then they are really not up to hard riding over rough surfaces.

Thanks, it was the stock suntour forks.

Typically too good to be true and another potential bargain gone as someone else saw the overpriced 2.5 for £275 then reacted on this one.
