Im really diggin this bike ! GT really put some thought into this machine. Although there are some small details that they should deal with ie: cable routing, maybe internal for the RD, overall this thing rips! I've had everything from Intense to Ibis to Pivot and Santa Cruz and this Gt stacks up right with em. Changed out the drivetrain to 1x11 and fork to a Pike 150, will be lowering it to 140 think thats the sweet spot. Well, thats all i have to say...
