    Summary

    Expirience with the GT Avalanche Elite

    GT Avalanche Elite Review When riding it as a in light terrain, the GT Avalanche Elite really comes into its own. On very narrow trails, you will love the playful handling. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Racebike of GT. If you set great value on high-quality shifting system there are other Racebike 1099 Euro with higher quality components. A good argument for the GT Avalanche Elite: Such a successful geometry is usually only available if you have deep pockets. The guarantee of 25 years proves that GT is behind its products.
