GT Avalanche Review
We looked at the GT Avalanche and thought to ourselves that it looked pretty high-end. When we saw the price tag, we were in shock. It isn’t the lightest bike in the world, that’s for sure, but it is definitely a great one on the trains.
It has a shortened head tube, a low rise set of handlebars and an overall ride that can be classified as being aggressive. The fork at the front is a nice Suntour XCM that has 100mm of travel, which makes it a great choice for those entry level to mid level trails we all love on a casual weekend.
The design of the frame was also pretty unique, with a triple triangle design that gave it a lot more stability and durability. The cost of this was that the bottom bracket of the Avalanche was a little lower than you would expect it to be, which led to a little bit of worry on the harsher trails.
+Pros:
- Great and unique frame design
- Nice suspension
- Short head tube and aggressive ride
- Responsive and smooth handling
-Cons:
- Bottom bracket is a little too low
The Verdict
This is a bike that will serve you well in any situation, and is meant for those of you who want a reliable performer that isn’t over the top in terms of price.
Overall, the GT Avalanche was definitely a very enlightening experience. We loved how it handled so much that we wanted to give it a full rating, but it did have areas that it could see improvement in. We can’t wait to see how these are implemented in the future!
