The larger 29-inch wheels on Raleigh's Talus 29 translate to more speed on-road and off. You'll climb and descend with ease thanks to its butted-aluminum frame, 100mm of front suspension and quality wheelset. Stopping is easy even in sloppy conditions with the powerful Tektro mechanical-disc brakes. Plus, the sweet-shifting Shimano 24-speed drivetrain makes the most of your momentum, while the race-proven Geax tires grip great even in the loose stuff. Wherever your ride takes you, the Talus is ready.

The 29" wheel makes climbing easy. The bike is light nimble and quick on and off road.

My first real bike in years. The last bike before was like driving a Chevy Chevette by comparison and then climbing in a nicely equipped Mazda 3. A great bike with quality components for the price.
