Giant Hardtail Electric Mountain Bikes: Talon E+ & Fathom E+

Collections Giant Hardtail Electric Mountain Bikes: Talon E+ & Fathom E+

Giant hardtail electric mountain bike riding on a trail

More help uphill. More fun everywhere else.

Meet four Giant hardtail eMTBs built for everything from local trails to loaded-up everyday rides.

Giant's hardtail electric mountain bikes give you a welcome push on the climbs while keeping the direct, lively feel that makes a hardtail so much fun. They're capable on trails, easy to live with and ready to turn a quick spin into a bigger day out.

The lightweight Talon E+ range is well suited to leisure rides, forest tracks and mixed-surface journeys. The more powerful Fathom E+ range adds a larger battery and more trail-focused kit for steeper climbs, rougher ground and longer adventures. Choose an EX model when you want lights, mudguards, a kickstand and a rear carrier fitted from the start.

Four bikes. Two ways to ride.

Start with the terrain you ride most, then decide whether you want a clean trail build or everyday equipment included.

Well suited to: longer rides and more demanding off-road terrain.

Fathom E+ EX

Trail-ready performance meets everyday usefulness. It keeps the Fathom's 85Nm motor and 750Wh battery, then adds practical EX equipment.

Well suited to: trail riding, loaded adventures and daily transport.

Support that feels part of the ride

Giant's E+ system brings the motor, battery and controls together, so you can spend less time thinking about settings and more time looking for the next trail.

SyncDrive power

The Talon E+ uses the compact 75Nm SyncDrive Sport 2 motor for smooth support and easy handling. The Fathom E+ steps up to the 85Nm SyncDrive Pro 2, giving you more help on steep climbs and up to 400% support when the trail demands it.

Smart Assist

Six sensors read how you're pedalling and how the terrain is changing. Assistance then adjusts automatically, delivering extra help when you need it and conserving energy when you don't.

EnergyPak batteries

The Talon's removable 430Wh battery helps keep the bike light and can deliver up to approximately 115km in Giant's ideal test conditions. The Fathom's 750Wh battery gives you more capacity for longer days and repeated climbs. Real-world range will vary with terrain, assistance level, rider weight and weather.

RideControl Dash 2

The handlebar-mounted colour display keeps speed, battery level and support controls where they're easy to see and reach. Connect the RideControl app to tune assistance and manage compatible security features.

Built-in security tools

Giant E-Lock can block motor assistance and sound an alarm if the bike is moved while electronically locked. Apple Find My integration is also included on the listed Fathom E+ models and highlighted by Giant for the Talon E+ EX. Always pair these features with a suitable physical lock.

Choose Talon E+ for light, easy-going versatility

At around 21.7kg in a medium size, the Talon E+ is noticeably lighter than many hardtail eMTBs. That matters when you're changing direction on a trail, lifting the bike onto storage or simply riding with the assistance turned down.

Its 100mm fork takes the sting out of rough tracks, while rack, mudguard and kickstand mounts let you shape the standard model around your riding. Prefer everything fitted from day one? Choose the Talon E+ EX.

Choose Fathom E+ when the trail asks for more

The Fathom E+ is the stronger choice for steeper climbs, rougher trails and longer days. Its 85Nm motor gives you more support under load, while the 750Wh battery means less time watching the charge indicator and more time exploring.

A 130mm fork gives the front wheel more room to absorb rocks and roots. The fitted dropper post lets you lower the saddle from the handlebar, helping you move freely and stay composed on steeper descents.

The biggest choice is Talon or Fathom. After that, EX simply means the practical equipment is already fitted.

Which one fits your ride?

Ask yourself

  • Will most rides be relaxed tracks and everyday journeys, or rougher mountain bike trails?
  • Does lighter handling matter more than maximum battery capacity?
  • Will you regularly carry luggage or ride after dark and in wet weather?
  • Would a dropper post and extra suspension travel help on your local trails?

Rider tip

Don't choose on battery size alone. A lighter bike can feel more natural on shorter rides, while extra capacity earns its keep on long routes, repeated climbs and days when you'll use higher support levels.

Giant hardtail eMTB FAQs

A few useful answers before you choose. If you'd rather talk it through, our team will be happy to help.

What's the difference between the Talon E+ and Fathom E+?

The Talon E+ is lighter and well suited to accessible trails, leisure rides and commuting. The Fathom E+ has a more powerful motor, a larger battery, 130mm fork and dropper post, making it better suited to steeper climbs, longer rides and rougher terrain.

What does EX mean on a Giant electric bike?

EX models are equipped for practical, all-weather riding. Both bikes listed here include integrated lights, mudguards, a kickstand and a Giant Rack-It MIK rear carrier.

How far can I ride on one charge?

Range changes with assistance level, climbing, surface, temperature, tyre pressure and the combined weight of rider and luggage. Giant estimates 57km in extreme conditions, 88km in good conditions and up to 115km in ideal conditions for the Talon's 430Wh system. The Fathom's 750Wh battery offers more capacity, but your real-world distance will still depend on how and where you ride.

Can I remove the battery for charging?

The Talon E+ range uses a removable 430Wh EnergyPak, so it can be charged away from the bike. Ask us about the charging and battery-removal arrangement on the exact Fathom E+ build you're considering.

Can I add a range extender?

The Talon E+ models are compatible with Giant's 200Wh EnergyPak Plus range extender. Giant also lists an EnergyPak Plus option for selected compatible bikes, so check with us before ordering one for a Fathom E+.

Which size should I choose?

Talon E+ models are offered in S to XL, the Fathom E+ in S to XL, and the Fathom E+ EX adds XXL. Height charts are a useful starting point, but proportions and riding style matter too. Contact us if you'd like help choosing.
