Expirience with the GT Zaskar FS Sport

Ludwig Döhl The Zaskar FS Sport is one of the most affordable full-suspension bikes on the market. It is built tough and aims to attract riders who are keen on getting a fully, even if a hardtail is often the better choice in this price range. The combination of a 65 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Zaskar FS Sport, even if you ride fast. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the GT Fully, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. The way to the summit is not one of the strengths of this bike. One should not forget: the geometry is the heart of a mountain bike. For 1599 Euro, GT provides more than the competitors in the same price range. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
