2017 GT Grade Carbon 105
Fast and efficient tarmac roads, capable and confident on gravel tracks. The GT Grade Carbon 105 is a road bike that gives you the flexibility to extend the adventure.
The EnduRoad carbon fibre composite frame is lightweight tough, and offers a smooth ride on less than perfect road surfaces. With a slightly-more-upright endurance style riding position the Grade will keep you comfortable in the saddle on long rides as well as giving you a little extra stability for off-road excursions. The Grade full carbon fork and flattened rear stays help to smooth rough roads while the tapered head tube adds front end stiffness for precise steering. Drop tune bars and 32c tyres are ideal for rough road cycling.
The Shimano R785 hydraulic disc brakes offer all-weather stopping power for confident descending on any road. The slick shifting Shimano 105 2x11 speed drivetrain features a mid-compact chainset with a wide range 11-32 cassette so you can put the hammer down on smooth roads as well as take on the steepest of climbs.
The GT Grade Carbon 105 offers a confident and efficient ride both on and off-road.
