Giant Talon 20 – first real MTB for kids, built to ride everywhere

A tough, confidence‑building 20‑inch mountain bike that’s scaled specifically for kids—perfect when young riders are ready to move beyond balance bikes or training wheels and explore trails, parks and neighbourhood streets. The Talon 20 uses a light ALUXX‑grade aluminium frame with kid‑focused geometry and components, so it’s easier to control, more stable on rough ground, and genuinely fun to ride.

What stands out

  • Proper kid‑sized control and safety: shorter seat tube, lower bottom bracket and standover height lower the centre of gravity, boosting stability and manoeuvrability on dirt or uneven paths. Giant also fits smaller handlebars, shorter‑reach brake levers and shorter cranks for better grip, easier braking and fewer pedal strikes—exactly what smaller riders need.

  • Real mountain‑bike hardware, but simple to use: a 1×7 drivetrain with Shimano REVOSHIFT twist shifter and Tourney rear derailleur gives enough gear range for gentle climbs without confusing young riders. Linear‑pull alloy brakes with junior‑friendly levers provide dependable stopping power without requiring oversized hands.

  • Comfortable, trail‑ready fork: a 30 mm travel suspension fork adds control over bumps—helpful on park paths, gravel or backyard trails—so kids feel planted rather than bounced around.

  • Thoughtful extras for everyday riding: included kickstand, mini‑fender, stem pad and bell make it easier to use the bike daily, whether heading to the park or riding around the neighbourhood.

Sizing guidance

One size aimed at riders roughly 113–135 cm tall, which typically fits children in the mid‑primary school years—around ages 5–8, depending on height. This is a solid fit for a child stepping up to a proper MTB when balance and basic riding skills are already in place.

Best use case

Families who want one bike that’s ready for a wide mix of use—paved paths, local parks, easy dirt trails, school rides or weekend outings—without over‑complicating gear or control. It’s durable enough for everyday play yet dialed to the size and strength of a kid still learning the ropes.

Why it works well for The Odd Spoke shoppers

This is a no‑nonsense, high‑value first mountain bike: light enough for kids to lift and steer confidently, rugged enough to handle real off‑road roughness, and easy to maintain. It strikes a sweet spot between capability and simplicity, which is exactly what many parents and young riders need when buying their first proper bike.
