GT Grade Expert Gravel Bike 2021
Blending off-road robustness, a lively and fun character and high value, the GT Grade Expert Gravel Bike serves as a fantastic introduction to the world of two-wheeled adventure riding across a sweep of different surfaces.
The alloy frame amalgamates robustness and lateral stiffness while remaining light to give reliability across rough terrain and an enthusiastic climbing sensation. This frame incorporates GT’s Triple Triangle design that heightens comfort across rutted riding surfaces thanks to its floating seatstays. The carbon fork further improves comfort by damping vibrations and a multitude of rack mounting points across the frameset enables the longest rides to be tackled fully equipped.
The WTB ST i23 rims use their sturdy construction to build into reliable wheels, and their broad inner rim width helps tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyres to give increased traction and cornering stability. The Shimano gears give slick gear changes with every click while the matching hydraulic disc brakes stop precisely in all riding conditions.
