2017 GT Pantera Expert 27.5in Mountain Bike

?????????????????????????????????????????????

                      RRP: $2799.99            Club Price: $2519.99

GT showed us their introductory level of the market with a pretty slick spec’d, affordable Plus hardtail; the Pantera. The bike is not a new name in GT’s line, but now sees a rejuvenation with the 27.5+ platform. The team sees a good benefit in the bike over similarly priced rides, given that with the larger volume tires provide riders with a more capable ride than closely priced, regular wheeled bikes. The simplicity of a hardtail results in less maintenance for the consumer and GT are also able to offer it in a better spec package.

The bike is spec’d with a 120mm Rockshox Revelation with Boost, Shimano XT 1×11 drivetrain and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. The tires are of the 2.8 Schwalbe Rocket Ron variety, and keep it stable but still provide that extra mow-down-ability of a plus wheel. They’re fitted to a 40mm internal width rim.

  • All New 6061 T6 Aluminum Frame, w/ Triple Triangle™, Replaceable Derailleur Hanger, Disc Brake Mounts, and Zerostack tapered Head Tube, 27.5 + Design

                      RRP: $1099.99            Club Price: $989.99

Getting your feet wet in the world of mountain biking should be about raging across that first stream on two wheels, not emptying your pockets for the toll. With hydroformed alloy tubing and 27.5” wheels, the GT Avalanche is the perfect platform for the value-conscious rider who isn’t willing to skimp on performance.

2017 GT Women’s Avalanche Comp 27.5in Mountain Bike

????????????????????????????????????????????

                      RRP: $1099.99            Club Price: $989.99

When it comes to riding off-road, there are few brands that have such an extensive and proven history as GT. The GT women’s (GTw) Avalanche, now in production for nearly ten years, has been widely embraced for its fit, tech and spec. The GTw fit is designed with a woman’s natural body geometry in mind; a shorter reach to the handlebars, greater standover height for comfort, and narrower handlebars for improved front end control. Then, the technology and specifications of the Avalanche Comp deliver the performance you expect. The Comp features a hydroformed aluminum frame, SR Suntour XCM front suspension with 100mm of travel, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and a Shimano 27-speed drivetrain.

2017 GT Karakoram Comp 29er Mountain Bike

??????????????????????????????????????????

                      RRP: $1099.99            Club Price: $989.99

Riding on the trail should be about fun, not trepidation for the challenges that lay ahead. Luckily, while many things have stayed the same over the years (rocks are still rocks, single track is still heavenly), suspension and wheel technology have changed dramatically (for the better). Gone are the days of needing pro level skill to handle even the most common of trail obstacles. 29-inch wheel bikes have contributed in a major way to getting more mountain bikers on the trail and riding competently and confidently. The GT Karakorum Comp features massive momentum gathering and obstacle crushing 29er wheels, a Shimano Deore 27-speed drivetrain, and an SR Suntour fork with 100mm of travel.

Big wheels break big trails, and the Karakoram is back again to show you just how badass a hardtail 29er can be. The lightweight hydroformed aluminum frame is agile enough for even the tightest of trails, while the oversized wheels roll over everything that comes their way, perfect for proving to your friends that bigger is actually better. 

  • All New 6061 T6 Aluminum Frame, w/ Triple Triangle™, Replaceable Derailleur Hanger, Disc Brake Mounts, and Zerostack tapered Head Tube, 27.5 + Design
  • SR Suntour XCM-HLO 100mm Travel with hydraulic Lockout
