2026 Giant Talon E+ EX
Description
Whether you’re riding trails, exploring dirt roads, or putting some zip in your daily commute, riding an E-bike doesn’t have to be complicated. The all-new Talon E+ range lets you do it all, combining the exhilarating sensation of pedal-assist power with light and agile off-road handling. And its integrated system makes it all so seamless, so simple to use, you can forget about the technology and just enjoy the ride.
LIGHTER WEIGHT
The new Talon E+ EX frame is crafted with ALUXX SL aluminum using hydroforming and gravity casting techniques that helps make it 13% lighter than the previous generation. The new EnergyPak 430 battery and SyncDrive Sport 2 motor are also lighter, giving it an overall weight of just 21.7kg (size medium, without rack). The result is greater agility and confident off-road handling that feels more like a regular hardtail mountain bike.
SLEEK AND SLIM
The redesigned frameset features a slimmer down tube integrated with a new EnergyPak 430 battery system that’s lightweight and easily removable for external charging. 3D forging techniques and super-smooth welds give it a clean, modern look, and two bottle cage mounts allow you to carry more hydration or add a battery range extender for longer rides.
SUPER COMMUTER
The Talon E+ EX is loaded with features and accessories that make it ideal for trekking or commuting. The RideControl Dash 2 controller is used to power on the bike and adjust support levels while you ride. Using the RideControl App, you can custom tune the motor output to optimize range. Also new is a Find My Bike feature using integrated Apple AirTag functionality. And it comes with a rear carrier, fenders, a kickstand, and integrated lights.
