Expirience with the GT Avalanche Sport

Ludwig Döhl With his 100 mm trail on the fork, the GT Avalanche Sport is ready to roll when using it as a on long tours. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with GT. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Racebike von GT suite the taste of most bikers. The Avalanche Sport has still a ace up its sleeve. When it goes down the hill, the absolutely coherent geometry always makes you want to come back for more. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
