All The Mountains, All The Time.
The Talon is a do-it-all mountain bike that shines in the bike park and on singletrack, this bike is built to handle all the mountains, all the time
Do Everything and Do It Better.
The new Talon/Switchblade has a slacker head angle, steeper seat angle, increased reach and a longer wheelbase than its predecessor. Size-specific chainstays are tucked in and responsive but grow incrementally longer on larger frames. This translates to added stability at warp speeds while still maintaining the snap and pop that is ingrained in the Talon/Switchblade’s DNA.
From Codgers to Middle Hill to The Gorge and Old Ghost Road.
The new Talon/Switchblade is light enough to pedal all day, but stout enough to run a Fox 38 without any worries. You can spin this rig up into the jagged high places, and it is burly enough, composed enough, planted enough and smooth enough to smash every line all the way back down, laughing the whole way.
