    Summary

    Expirience with the GT Avalanche Elite 29

    GT Avalanche Elite 29 Review With his 100 mm trail on the fork, the Racebike of GT is ready to roll when using it as a on sporty excursions. The moderate 67,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. The balanced seating position is likely to suite the taste of the majority of bikers. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the GT Racebike is probably not the right bike for you. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the GT engineers. For 1099 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. The guarantee of 25 years proves that GT puts a lot of trust in its products.
