$230.00 | | Purchased At: | Cleve's | | Strengths: | I haven't found any real strengths with this bike but the only parts that didn't snap or brake on me are the headset, handlebars, seatpost and that's about it. | | Weaknesses: | Some weak parts aspects are the frame (I snapped it, then got a Avalanche 2.0 frame from warranty then cracked that too and am waiting to see if I can get another free frame from warranty), the tires wear down really fast, pedals have no grip, cranks are weak, fors are horrible and when it's hot or rainy out the forks move way too much and if it's cold the forks don't even move (weather effects it which makes it like riding a new fork each time) , shifters are sooooo weak the just snap of even if you don't fall, rims warp easily, bearings are cheap and wear really fast, brakes are okay but once they wear after a while it's impossible to find pads for it and most of the other parts on this bike it's almost impossible to find too. | | Similar Products Used: | Ironhorse Sonic, any cheap xc bike. | | Bike Setup: | mz comp fork rear mammoth rim, front stock rim, sr suntour brakes that don't work cuz I can't get the pads, GT Avalanche 2.0 frame (basically the same as 1.0), new of the same shifters, primo tenderizer pedals... | | Bottom Line: | I shoulden't have bought this bike because I do alot od jumps, drops, etc. So if you are ever going to buy a 200-300 dollar bike and jump it, then it's a waste of money because you could just save up longer and buy a bike 400-500 and in the long run you will save money, have better bike, and won't be fixing it more than your riding it. Nobody should buy this bike and I suggest that nonee of you ever buy a GT bicycle. Especially don't buy it if you plan on doing some jumps! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$440.00 | | Purchased At: | Glen Parker, Nedlands, WA | | Strengths: | Good equipment, weight, and ride for the price. | | Weaknesses: | None so far | | Similar Products Used: | I needed to upgrade my old dinosaur 1984 Kuwahara Aries, so I did a lot of research, and tried out several other brands with similar specs to the Avalanche, including Specialised Rockhopper, Trek 4500, Avanti Montari, etc before picking the GT. | | Bike Setup: | Standard - I just added some toeclips. I've now saved the $200 extra required for SPDs and a pair of shoes. | | Bottom Line: | I use the bike for Mountain Bike Orienteering - we have to navigate around a course shown on a map - lots of ups and downs, and different grades of tracks from slow single track with obstacles to fast graded gravel. The bike goes really well, and I'd recommend it highly as a first bike for trail riding and orienteering.
PS For people living outside the US, and especially baby boomers like me, please get rid of the term 'weekend warrior' - it's non-descriptive and pretty childish! How about "Trail Rider" instead? | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

I must say, I am impressed. I really don't have any complaints. The only issues I have had, which are very minor are:
Brakes were rubbing against the pads and sounded annoying.
I totally bit it a few times and my rear derailleur bent in a bit, preventing smooth shifts, but that would probably happen to anyone. First tune fixed that no problem.
Eventually I might upgrade a few things like the handle bars, fork, and maybe components.
But like I said, no complaints. Great bike for the price.

Date Reviewed: May 10, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Bottom Line: | This is an update of my previous review.....
I've been riding this thing for over a year now, and to be honest.... I don't like it anymore. After some rides in the hills in Zuid-Limburg (near Maastricht) (I live near Amsterdam, where it's really flat) I have to say the geometry just s*cks big time for climbing. The seatpost angle is way too flat. Even with a zero set-back seatpost the saddle is so far behind the bottom bracket that you can't climb properly. Even when you lean forward as far as possible (which is very oncomfortable) there is so litte weight on the front wheel that you unvoluntarily make a wheelie and loose control.
Maybe I'm too tall for it (1m97)
I'll try to get a Gary Fisher frame with Genesis Geometry..... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Decent stock setup | | Weaknesses: | Rims
BB
Tyres
Front freehub | | Similar Products Used: | Univega Alpina 530 (1999)
Schwinn Mesa (2001)
Merida Matts Sport 700 (2002) | | Bike Setup: | Currently Avalanche frame, RockShox Pilot XC, XT rear der., LX front der., Mavic Crosslink wheelset, Magura HS-33 brakes, Maxxis Ignitor/Larsen TT tyres, some minor extras.
(Yeah, I know, it's quite a different bike compared with the stock one) | | Bottom Line: | Well, this is just the first impression. I'll try to update that later.
Quite a contradictionary feeling from this bike. First, excellent frame, rigid, sensitive. From the other hand - awfull wheels with tyres designed to fit some APC or tractor - too rigid. Absolute junk BB began to consume dirt and water just on the second week. But c'mon, I've made a dream bike out of this.
Have nothing to say about stock derailleurs - they were changed on the first day. They say, Deore group is a decent one, but if I have my good old XT for the rear, why should I stay with worse product? Tektro brakes are good for a beginner, not for me. Maguras took the place on the second month. Stock brakes are good enough, silent and enough stopping power, but modulation is not the one you expect. First wanted also to change levers, but was pleasantly surprised with the Deore levers integrated with shifters (in fact was also too lazy to change shifters as well). And, well, really first thing to change is stock BB. Go for some Shimano or Truvativ right after purchase. Changing the crankset is an option - I've been thinking on some Firex or Stylo, but the stock one keeps going - let's wait for a while. Wheels are damn heavy, junky, equipped with tires for a tractor. If you have this bike for downhill or dirtjumping - they are right what you need. I'd prefer something more versatile - no nuclear strikes in our region are expected next year for the wheels to survive. Mavic Crosslink will do just fine, and, yeah, tyres to go - something lighter and ones which roll better. Stock make noise good for the tank.
The bottom line? Here it is: Excellent bike. With stock setup is good for a beginner or for upgrading some older set. You're getting durable and versatile bike for the price and when you really know what you want, it becomes an outstanding base for deep upgrade. Recommended for everyone. This frame really rocks. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: November 8, 2003 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | Brantford Cyclepath | | Strengths: | -Excellent frame, strong and rigid with great geometry
-SRAM 7.0 Cassette!
-Deore parts group
-Shimano 475 mechanical discs! | | Weaknesses: | -Stock bb was very cheap
-Judy TT lacks adjustment | | Similar Products Used: | 2001 Giant Rincon SE
1998 Diamondback Topanga
1995 GT Outpost
1998 Barracuda A2R | | Bike Setup: | Stock except for XT rear der., front wheel (shimao 555 hub w/ mavic 221 rim), Michelin XLS tires, Radical bars, ODI lock on grips. | | Bottom Line: | This is an update to my earlier review.
I've ridden the bike now since April (8 months) and have minimal complaints. The frame is extremely rigid and strong supporting my 230 lbs wieght, it also has excellent geometry that lets you carve any corner at tremendous speed. The bike is very agile and can be manuvered through most situations. The Deore parts group works great, just as good as any LX or XT stuff just a little heavier. The stock tires were very grippy and held on most terrain but they did eventually tear on the sidewalls and have been replaced with a set of Michelin XLS tires (great tires> light and grippy, roll very fast). The stock bars were too narrow so I awpped them out for some Radical HY-Ryze XC bars (1 inch rise, 9 degree sweep) and they are awsome. As for duability, I've ridden the bike for over 1000 off-road kms and have replaced the bb (the stock one was junk, replaced with shimano UN-52 and haven't had any trouble since), I had to replace the derailler hanger, but that was more of a rider error than the bike, replaced the front wheel because of a really bad taco after a crash, replaced Deore rear der with an XT (i got it really cheap so why not?), the Judy TT front fork has no adjustments and is a bit of a pogo stick but works well for the most part on all terrain (I've got a Z2 Atom 80 waiting to be mounted right now). On the plus side for this bike it has a SRAM 7.0 Cassette, complete parts kit, and the Shimano 475 discs. All of these features were unheard of at this price range in the other bikes I looked at (Specialized Hardrock Pro, a few Gary Fishers, etc.). The parts work amazingly well and are super reliable, the discs are great in all conditions although they do squeal a bit when wet, but I don't mind cause you still have tons of stopping power. All in all this is a great bike. Off the shop floor it can be an excellent do it all bike but with a few upgrades and tweeks it has become the best bike I've ever owned. Gt has outdone themselves adn this should no doubt be the best bargain of 2003. If your in the market for a new ride, check out the Avalanche 1.0 Disc!!!!!

$425.00 | | Purchased At: | Skate Escape | | Strengths: | Strong, fairly light-weight, durable. Great high-end components. Strangely comfortable seat. Can really ride it hard. Value and quality. | | Weaknesses: | Curved handle bar (why?) Single wall tires. Rock shox a tad soft, even cracked up. | | Similar Products Used: | Raleigh M80, Giant Iguana/Yukon, Haro V3, Trek 4300. | | Bike Setup: | Deore everything, Tioga tires, Truvatix crank, solid brake set - stock | | Bottom Line: | I ride my bike hard and I am 6'1" 200lbs. This bike is strong and rides light and fast. I have gotten on top of some bikes were I feel the cranks are going to snap when I really dig into it, this thing isn't going anywhere. Deore derailleurs make shifting smooth and the brakes are not spectacular but solid. On my first serious ride a few months back a buddy of mine snapped his brakes and flipped while my GT came off without a hitch. The shocks could be a little tighter as they give on the downturn sometimes. Also, just had it tuned and after several hard rides it only needed minor adjustments, no major issues at all.
Looked at Raleigh, Giant (The Giant and Raleigh are about $150 more too), and Haro, and for the money you cannot beat what this bike offers, plus the GT name carries some weight in terms of quality and knowing what you're getting. Couldn't be happier. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Ride is great, first time I used this bike was at Hilton Falls in Milton, Ontario. Weather was overcast for the first 10km then it started raining pretty hard. The bike performed well on dry, wet, muddy and slippery trail, the disc brake was awesome! no squeak and squeal at all!!

-Climbing steep hills: seat angle is very flat (how do you say that in correct english? What I mean: the saddle is very far behind the bracket axle, that's not so good for climbing and racing, but good for comfort and control on descends)

Also ODI lock on grips | | Bottom Line: | This review is for the Avalanche 1.0 Disc model. I bought the bike at my dealer (Brantford Cyclepath) and rode it an some medium level difficulty trails in my area and put on 20km. WOW! Coming from an XC racer (Barracuda A2R) this bike was so much more fun. The shorter top tube put me more upright and in control. This bike was a blast to ride, thowing it off sweet DH runs and grinding back up made me fall in love. Sometime on the second ride I bent the seatpost but Cyclepath replaced it for free. Since, I've put on over 150km off road and no complaints. This thing corners, climbs, decends like a freak. When I bought it I was also looking at the Specialized Hardrock Pro for $840 can. I bought the GT because of its better parts (I.E. SRAM cassette, shimano chain, truvativ cranks, complete Deore group.) and am completely satisfied. This bike performs as well as the $ 2800 Klein Mantra I once had. And its less than 50% the cost. This must be the best value of the year. If your in the market for a intermeddiate levell hardtail, go with the GT. Or do even better and get the Disc model like me and save on upgrading too discs yourself.

$370.00 | | Purchased At: | Blazin Saddles | | Strengths: | Light, strong frame. Great shocks, excellent all round components, great ride position, great tyres. | | Weaknesses: | Rear gear cable bit tempremental until changed it, but that's it! | | Similar Products Used: | Scott Vectora and other £500 or less Scotts, Giant Yukon, Giant Iguana disc. | | Bike Setup: | As it comes | | Bottom Line: | For £500 or less the GT Avalanche is it. Got this one for £400. No other bikes in the range can touch it. Look no further than this one as it has the lot and just as good components as more expensive bikes.
I had a Diamondback Topanga for 7 years or so and eventually managed to wear all the drivetrain components out at the same time and after 2 hrs in the saddle suffered from lower back pains. I'm a 6 ft 2 and 15 and half stone rugby player and decided to get a new, light and stong frame bike with excellent components for £500.00 or less.
£300 Giant Yukon - Great budget bike, but no name components and noticable heavier frame than GT. Felt like riding an armchair
£325 Scott Vectora - Good bike light frame but again no name components.
£425 Giant Iguana disc - Ok bike, disc's were very cheap low range, so decent V's on the GT just as good.
So the GT itself on the ride is everything i wanted. No back pains after 2 hrs. The ride position is more upright than the Diamondback and more relaxing. The GT just wants to go, and go fast! I'm sure it rolls UP hills. Shocks, brakes, tyres, all work great and in REALLY BAD weather as each ride i've done has been in the pouring rain or hail.
Lively on the downhill but responds well.
Great value for money. Ride the Yukon then for £100 more ride this and see just how different the 2 are. This is a great bike for mountain biking. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
