Sanction 2.0

Big hit brawn you can pedal. The Sanction 2.0 pairs 150 mm of rear travel with the proven pedaling efficiency of our Independent Drivetrain system and an extra-beefy 6061 monocoque frame that can take everything from bone-rattling trail clutter to all out rock garden poundings and daring aerials. When gravity calls, just point the Sanction down and let that long wheelbase rip.

      Rugged downhill sections and leg-busting climbs are no problem on GT’s all mountain rigs. The robust frames and generous 150mm of travel take the big hits, yet light weight and a burly spec mean that what goes down is still ultra-efficient on the way back up.

      GT bikes are as hungry for weekend dirt as you are, with light and strong aluminum frames and plenty of bump-taming front suspension. Twist your way through rooted trails or unwind on epic singletrack, and you’ll forget all about what’s waiting for you on Monday morning.
