Expirience with the GT Zaskar LT Expert

Ludwig Döhl In recent years, the Zaskar LT Expert has evolved from a race hardtail classic to a trail hardtail. The aim of the transformation: more fun on the trails. With its balanced handling, riding the GT feels really intuitive. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Trailbike around under 2000 Euro that would suit you better. With the shifting components, GT fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
