Can you confirm if it is UDH?

that was my first hesitation.

 

are downhill bikes typically UDH. I have no idea.

 

Dang, thats not a bad deal.

$1300 for a high pivot carbon frame DH bike, with a shock? And it uses normal boost spacing too, which makes it easier to swap that enduro wheelset over.

The geo doesn't look bad either.

 

I got the Elite Build. Frame was $1300, but for $2450 the bike is rideable without doing anything else.
The tires are like $100 each, the wheels may be cheap, but $300 for a pair or at least I cant source any for less. The fork is worth at least $8-900.
The brakes, sure nothing fancy, but they are guaranteed to lock the wheels up. The X-Fusion shock from what I've read got good reviews. I'm excited.

 

What size should I get? I am 6' 2" - on the cusp of size L and XL. I like the 485 reach on my Spesh Enduro. I dont like the monster long front center and wheel base on the XL. But dont want to feel cramped or over the bars on the L. BUt I have limited experience on a DH bike.

Help me

 

Im 6’1” barefoot, and if it matters, I’d be looking at the XL.

And I ride a size large Kavenz VHp with 480 mm of reach normally. But for bike park I’d enjoy a bit more reach and stack. Also the ear center will grow some under sag, with the high pivot.

 

This young man rides a size large at 5' 7"

The real deals are on the dirt jumpers, pretty much impulse buy territory.

I don't know about the Fury Elite. My problem is the parts are so bad, chinese crankset, 10 year old drivetrain (how/where did they get X7 parts?), Rush damper fork (?), I dont know how good or bad the XFusion shock is. Going to take a lot of money to get that running better than my enduro bike. If you have nothing good for the park already then it could be good but if you have a good enduro bike with high end suspension then I don't think it will be better without upgrades.

Warranty is probably not going to be a thing since it's looking like GT is going out of business unfortunately. I was really hoping for the Pro to go on sale because the parts are top tier, if the frame broke then at least you'd have the value of the parts.

I don't know about the Fury Elite. My problem is the parts are insanely bad, chinese crankset, 10 year old drivetrain (how/where did they get X7 parts?), Rush damper fork (?), I dont know how good or bad the XFusion shock is but judging by the other parts its probably not good. Going to take a lot of money to get that running better than my enduro bike.

Im looking at the frame only option personally. The complete build is a killer deal but I know what I want and would replace a bunch of stuff. I am a horder and have a lot of stuff to throw on, the fork would be my biggest cost. Fox Factory gold is on sale for 1500

 

Thomas Genon rode a medium size at hardline and he is 6'

I really cant decide on a the L or XL. I do not want a complete monster truck, or to feel over the bars. Dilema

Also, is the idler gear proprietary? If I pick this up I may buy a some pares and stuff now. But I would keep this bike for a loooong time so I want to know if I will be able to get certain parts like hangers and the idler gear.

GT might not totally go away. May just be a pause, and may be sold.

 

Yes, but Danny Hart was 5'10" i think and rode a L for world cups.
Just get what you think you'll like. Can't go wrong either way.

 

Well boys, pulled the trigger on an XL frame. Going to be a slow build, but thats ok as it is winter.

@WhiteDLite thanks for the hookup

 

ugh. Tempted to get the elite size L and strip the components. Too bad they don't have a size L in frame only...

 

I debated that. But I am poor right now and kind of hate selling stuff online.

 

damn, im bummed i missed the frame onlys.. if anyone has buyers remorse on their Large lmk....

and whats the deal with the pro build, did that sell out @ full price or did they pull the listing or something..?

 

possibly employees who knows.

 

Maybe I should have pulled the trigger on the last gen V10 last summer. Jenson had frames for 2500$

I didnt because I wanted mx option and the XL V10 is 29 only. But maybe I should have gone V10.

Im happy though

Stick around. We'll fix that for you.

 

Call your local GT dealer, I was able to get a slightly better deal on a complete bike that way.

 

Do you pay taxes at the dealer and on website?

For me even if they beat the subtotal by 5% it wouldn’t be worth it when I live in a 9.5% interest area.

 

🥲

 

Got mine, biggest pet peeve. The slates aren’t reversible and I run my rear in the left and front on the right. However another aggravating thing is my front needs to be bled. Which it would’ve been anyways eventually. Just was hoping not so soon. The brakes would work, it’s just the bleed ports are on bottom.

So besides cutting bars and seat tube it’s a great deal. Super easy to assemble and oackaged really well.

 

How long did it take for yours to arrive? Ordered mine a good 2 weeks ago and only have received the tool kit and nothing about bike status.

 

7 days probably, I also received my tool kit first.

 

First ride on the fury today… it rips
