The Talent 2 is a multiple unit trainset manufactured by Bombardier designed in 2008 and which entered service with Deutsche Bahn in 2011. It is named after a successful train (Talent), previously built by the same company, though for the most part it doesn't share technical details with that train, except for the rounded sides and doorways.

The units have acquired the nickname "Hamsterbacke" (Hamster Cheeks).[1]
