Description
##GT Grade Al Elite Gravel Bike 2020 Combining practicality and comfort, GT’s Grade Al Elite Gravel Bike is a great option for weekday commuting and weekend fun. The aluminium frame uses the classic Triple Triangle design and a carbon fork to add compliance in order to reduce fatigue and increase control. There are multiple bottle cage and luggage mounting options available along with the ability to fit mudguards, making the Grade a truly versatile offering. Reliable 8-speed Shimano Claris shifters and derailleurs have been mixed with a SunRace cassette and FSA Tempo Adventure chainset to give a very wide range of gear ratios without the large gaps that can occur with a 1x setup. Simple Tektro mechanical disc brakes are easy to maintain but still give good wet weather and off-road performance. The ST i23 TCS WTB rims are tubeless-ready so converting them is straightforward and the 37mm Riddler tyres offer fast-rolling, all-round performance on rough roads, gravel and hardpack. Should further grip or comfort be required then the frame can easily accommodate tyres up to 42mm wide. ##Highlights * Alloy frame with EnduRoad Triple Triangle design and clearance for 700x42mm tyres * Carbon fork * Tektro mechanical disc brakes * Shimano Claris 8-speed 2x8 groupset * Formula hubs with WTB ST i23 TCS tubeless-ready rims * Top tube, seatstay and fork leg luggage bosses
