2011 GT Avalanche 1.0
This is a good mountain bike and a hard-tail that all others are measured by. When you’re ready to graduate from that first rig you bought – the one they told you was capable of being ridden off-road, but which was really ready for campus cruising – the Avalanche is without question the bike you want. More than just a bike which you can ride about town, the Avalanche is also equipped for gnarly trails and sublime single track. With lightweight, triple-triangle aluminium frames, trail-ready component specs, and front suspension, the Avalanche is chomping at the bit to earn its wings. Are you?
