      Bike Comparison for Mountain/All Mountain Bicycles
      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.
