Expirience with the GT Avalanche Expert 29

Ludwig Döhl The 100 mm trail on the fork qualify the GT Avalanche Expert 29 for on long tours use. With its balanced handling, riding the GT Avalanche Expert 29 feels really intuitive. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the GT Avalanche Expert 29. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent. GT gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
