Expirience with the GT Avalanche Sport

Ludwig Döhl The in light terrain of GT is made for in light terrain use. The 435 mm short chainstays make for playful handling. The seating position is sporty. An important point at the end: The sporty orientation makes the GT Hardtail a real mountain goat in the Racebikes. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
