      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.
