GT Avalanche 2.0 Mechanical Disc XC Hardtail
Product DescriptionThe 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 aluminum frames, trail-ready component specs, and front suspension, the Avalanche is chomping at the bit to earn its wings. Are you?

a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: March 23, 2013 Strengths: Great bike for a beginner. I got this bike when I started riding trails and rode the bejesus out of this thing. Narrowed up the handlebars and it was nimble, relatively light, and a ton of fun to ride. In Texas, you get lots of trails with limestone shelfs, this bike did just fine going up & down those and also handled rooty, twisty trails as well. Weaknesses: The weaknesses of the bike weren't specific to the model, mostly specific to the platform. You simply aren't going to get top-line performance out of a 26" hardtail that costs $600. If I had to pick one thing that really bothered me about the bike, it would be the cable management - totally fixable with a set of zip ties. Bottom Line:

Michael Date Reviewed: August 16, 2012 Strengths: Everything! The bike rides great uphill and the locking forks help a lot! Going downhill is a easy as well. Make sure you are in the proper position and you will do just fine. Shifts perfect, brakes are great. Even going down a large paved hill/mountain road they worked great! With regards to the forks, I have yet to bottom out. Weaknesses: None so far. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: I love them all Duration Product Used: 6 days Price Paid: $450.00 Purchased At: performance bikes Bike Setup: Stock
