a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: May 14, 2012 Strengths: Solid frame, not a lot of flex. Geometry. Smoothness over the rough jagged stuff. Ability to flatten any rough terrain with authority. Eats stumps and obstacles like they arent even there. Comfortable ride all day suspension Weaknesses: Fox R rear shock, and Mag 32 Fork.....Dont even think about riding around with this fork....it absolutely SUCKS! Blew the seals on it the first time out. Hey, what do you expect from a good frame, value parts.....You are going to have to upgrade eventually to get the parts that you want on it.

from Roswell, Ga. USA Date Reviewed: May 24, 2011 Strengths: great frame design, I love this bike. I had 3 of them in 4 years.I upgraded to Fox Vanilla fork and Scram drivetrain. This fram rode so good. Weaknesses: I broke 3 frames and 2 rear triangles. All in the exact same weld. After the 5 break GT refused to warr. the bike any more.Performance Bikes rocks. GT does not admit to having a problem. I find it hard to beleive I am the only one breaking their frames. I wish they could have gotten the problem resolved but I guess that not gonna happen. This was a cold weld problem in my opinion but what do I know.I can only break them.

from Wakefield Date Reviewed: April 17, 2011 Strengths: Frame is exelent design its a great ride but needs betta components wich to me is goin to be fun working on such a nice plush frame, its a very clever design if you luck close at were the rear wheel is attached you can see its replacable iv not seen this on bikes before unless iv just not noticed but its good. Weaknesses: Came with rockshocks bar rear shock seals went after a few not very hard rides but replaced under warranty, hargreavs cycles said they sent it back and it was faulty anyway, so i hope wen i get it back it will hold up untill i can upgrade, forks are like rockshocks toras, yes i prefer fox but these are ok i will be riding it hard so il tell ya later ha.

from Philippines Date Reviewed: February 19, 2011 Strengths: Nice idrive system gives plush ride over moderately rough terrain, I like the looks of the frame coz I'm more of a form than function type of guy. Aesthetically speaking, the frame rocks in looks! Weaknesses: Weight, mediocre components, I hate the rear dérailleur it always slip it's deore the shift points are not accurate wasted time adjusting it, the sun tour fork sucks! Planning on upgrading the components to SRAM and raceface cranks and fox shox.

Weaknesses: Fork for my year (08 Marzocchi) was junk, not GT's fault though. Brakes were ok at first, but heavily faded toward the end of the first season. Original peddles were junk too (no big deal there).
