Got the GT full-suspension bike.
I like its i-Drive rear suspension. Very good work of suspension and almost no pedal feedback. Helps a lot to climb hills on hard terrain
other companies have been “slagging” ID for years. ….the vid is not full of lies….all the models are based on actual dimensions from the drawings of the competition…..I guess it just bothers people that GT stands up to all the BS that has been said about their technologhy ….BTW this technology wins WC DH….
But the bottom line is that if you do not like what is being said then don’t ride a GT ..12,458 other people will…..
@TissTime4Tea
yeah they are far from world class, i mean like Hans Rey DOESN’T ride for GT and he is NOT world class is he, corr i sound like a right arsewhole being right don’t i?
This is a typical marketing video. We use GT sanctions on our helibike trips and although our clients love them, we’ve had regular maintenance issue far above the use the bikes have had. So, the jury’s out so far…
@DomDom1242
their bicycles are far from world class; you should pay attention during races a little more. and don’t make sweeping statements like that. you come off as an asshole.
@DomDom1242
I’m not saying they don’t make good bikes. I sell bicycles, GT being one of the brands. I am quite aware they are a good brand. I am just saying, its total rubbish to say that you can have a vertical wheel path. That’s all.
It made me laugh when they were talking about the bump force.
Do they not realize that you cannot have a vertical wheel path unless the suspension spring is directly above or below the rear axle. All suspension methods involve the wheel moving in an arc up towards the saddle.
This promo vid is full of lies. They slag off other suspension designs to make their own look better. eg: they say that the wheel path for Meastro is vertical…..wrong. Meastro suspension makes the wheel retract in an arc and almost totally eliminates pedal feedback, bob and brake feedback and yes I do ride Meastro. It reflects very badly on a company when they have to slag others in order to sell their product. If the quality is that good let it speak for itself.
man i wish that they’d bring back the ball burnished zaskar to full production(not just ltd edition that only 500 people will be lucky enough to ride)it has always been one of my dream bikes!!!
i met this guy at sheep hills who works for GT his name is louis, and he was telling me about this and let me test ride his own badass bike like this one, and all i have to say is i was very impressed…. not only but the bike but how knowlegable their employees are…
I appreciate and respect GT’s technology, but in the world of DH Racing, they’re not on the podium…
I really admire GT’s good looking bikes…

What are you talking about? Hollow skull?

@toilets5 GT doesn’t make fast downhill bikes. They only make good XC or Trail bikes that require hardcore pedaling and uphill.
yet steve peat is still faster on “inefficient” VPP
@DomDom1242
so glad you are able to see the light.
by the way, stop being such a GT fanboy and stfu.

@Clawz114
so true!
these “designers” have no idea what they are talking about!
to bad that they can’t combine it all on one bike.
these guys are retards. and whoever falls for this marketing bullshit is retarded as well.

and that is why they are making world class bikes,
and you arent…

End of story.

that’s why i’ve been riding GT for the last 12 years, they are always on top of the game with cutting edge innovation…

10 Years of it
