Karakoram Hans Rey
This bike respects your skills. Steep descents, rocky climbs, and jeering friends can make any ride feel like a challenge, both to your skills and to your ego. Fortunately you perform under pressure, and you’re on a Karakoram, which is just as relaxed in a crux as you are. Responsive, indestructible, and smooth on the trail, it’s all the bike you need to show your buddies the skills it takes to be a bad ass.

Independent Drivetrain™
This suspension does its job. Period. Because it operates independently of the drivetrain, the suspension can focus solely on its intended purpose – a smoother, faster ride – without making compromises in pedaling efficiency. And because it’s an inherently simple design, it’s easy to set up, ride and maintain. Sound good? Good.

Triple Triangle™
Originally developed to extend the frame life, stiffen the rear triangle and thus create a faster, more responsive ride, the Triple Triangle™ frame has transcended its role as just another tech story and become an iconic symbol of who we are and what we stand for.

Forged Elements
We forge every single linkage and pivot on all of our dual-suspension bikes. We also forge areas of the frame that are prone to stress or abuse, such as head tubes, bottom brackets and dropouts.

1 1⁄8" x 1 1⁄8" Head Tube
Light on grams, not on performance. These forged construction head tubes are as capable of handling marathon trail sessions as they are of chasing points on the XC pro circuit.

Comments about gt Karakoram Hans Rey:
I got mine dec.2 2012, waited 2 months and glad i did.I knew i wanted a GT when i decided to get a 29er.When i read the tech. sheet your getting alot of extras with the hans ray for little money. The pearl paint is awsome, the gold anodized accents set it off.The crank brothers parts are high end upgrades that come on this model.It rides great, geometry feels perfect, shifting and braking is smooth. im just starting to jump it,and it likes to sail.cant wait for longer days! "quality GT stuff" Hans scored a homerun with this machine!
